Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.

Just reminded of it today with the “discourse” of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.

    One of my “friends” taught me a slur in 4th grade and it made the teacher think my parents were racists lol
    If you’re reformed and now on Hexbear, fuck you, Jay!

    • Around the same grade, a friend said to me “you know why everything costs $##.99? It’s called the Jewish dollar, cuz they’re cheap”

      I didn’t know the stereotypes but learned there.

      Similar to being introduced to the word gay by it being hurled at me as an insult while on the bus, didn’t know what it meant but knew I didn’t want to be that

      We had a kid on our elementary school playground that had older brothers who told him about all the “bad stuff”. He would hold court as we could sit around him and learn all the bad words for lgbtq people, the subtle differences between a blowjob and a “hummer”, all the made up sex things like “rusty trombones” and whatnot.

      That Kid turned out really weird. Hope he’s doing ok out there.
