First, I nearly have a breakdown, then I have a headache, and that doesn't even touch math.
So Math on Thursday. I sit at the table with this guy, and Thursday he starts talking about how much he hates gay guys, and how disgusting he thinks they are. (He even went so far as to claim being gay in unhygienic because they 'stick their dick up where shit comes out'.) I promptly told him he was wrong, and that, actually, one of my best friends is gay. He then said, 'I feel sorry for you.' And asked whether or not my friend 'took it up the ass'. Words do not describe how upset I am at this. He spent the rest of the period talking about how much he hates them, and how he 'wanted to kill all of them'. I'm pretty sure he even made some sort of Holocaust reference about wanting to do the same to homosexuals as Hitler did to the Jews. Urgh. Yes, I did tell my teacher. I'm so pissed. He ruined my day. (Also, it turns out he is the brother of one of the really religious chicks in my class. I am unsurprised by this.)
And now, to top it off, there's all sorts of wank in my fandom, and I've had enough. They're icons people, please stop being rude to one another because of them. Yes, they were in poor taste, yes they were racist. But that's not how they were intended. Can we just accept that they suck, and stop jumping all over each other's throats? It's ok to disagree over them, but please be civil. We're not achieving anything by being rude to one another, in fact, we're just making everything worse. It's really starting to hurt some people's feelings because responses are reading like personal attacks. Blah. Bottom line: I just want everyone to stop fighting, and go back to being the happy shiny fandom we usually are.
And I'm still not done with my
ff_santa fic. This all sucks.
