Escapism? Bitch it’s summer. I just saw a free cover band on the beach yesterday. Zoo the week before and a botanical garden the week before that. Got lord of the rings rereleasing in theaters next week in recliner seats. Miyazaki/ ghibli films all summer too. Unless you live in a hyper gay area you can easily spend every day outside without seeing a degenerate.
It's hot as hell here in the summer so I hole up inside more and have less going on. Still, I've rolled a lot of my activity back in time a bit. I spend the first couple hours of the weekend days outdoors before it's too hot. Fishing, biking, etc. Nothing hardcore, I just go outside and enjoy it. The water, the flowers, the trees, and the fish do not celebrate pride month, they aren't going to tell me about. Watched a Ghibli film yesterday morning even.
Otherwise, I just don't get agitated about it for the most part. I don't need to hide. I decided back in 2021 it was doing me no good and letting them win. So, I just do other things. Media consumption is not the whole of life.
Last summer I set up my gaming PC on the patio. During the day I'd take some walks through the woods around my house and at night played old games outside in the cool night air.
I decided last year "it's not my world anymore", so I just content myself to enjoy things made back when it was. Certainly enough of that to last a lifetime.
