Hi! This tweet has been purposely taken out of context because people never include the rest of the thread. I’m not sure if you did so purposely or not, but please let me include the rest of the thread for you and explain.
Before I share screenshots of the rest of my tweets, first I’ll explain.
tl;dr: I was raised Catholic, taught that homosexuality was a sin. When I got into college, I joined tumblr and learned more about different sexualities and the lgbt+ community and started shifting my views a bit, i.e. I still believed it was still a sin but started to support lgbt+ people having the right to get married. Soon after, I started watching anime. I got into Free! and the fandom made the cutest art and fics and headcanons of all the m/m ships in the show. That made me start realizing that “these ships are so sweet and loving and normal, why is this wrong or sinful?” It made me seeing things differently. I stopped thinking that being gay was a sin, and after a few years of trying to undo internalized homophobia, I realized that I’m bi.
I’m sorry if I didn’t realize my sexuality in a way that was good or pure enough for the rest of you. Yes it took an anime and m/m fanart to make me realize that being gay
was okay, I’m not ashamed to admit that. I live in Texas, I didn’t have many gay people around me in
my personal life (actually I did but didn’t know it at the time because most of them were school friends who were also in the closet for the same reasons as
me).
We all have different upbringings, and mine involved a very religious upbringing where I was constantly told about all these sinful thoughts and actions that could send me to hell. It took a lot to undo all of that. I’m still not out in real life because I’m terrified my parents will cut me off if they find out, and I’m waiting until I’m more financially independent.
I’d
appreciate it if you would reblog this![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
crestholder (I can’t tag you for some reason but I hope you see this in your notifications). Whether it was
your intention or not, you sharing this tweet out of context results in
me continually being harassed and it’s very upsetting. I just want people to know the full tweet thread and my thought process before they decide to judge me.
Now here are the rest of my tweets on this.
i think what really gets me about this is that we can all clearly see your bi icon in the screenshot like. we’re really getting mad at lgbtq+ ppl who grew up in homophobic environments for opening up to discovering themselves through fiction? that’s where we’re at. really.
Yep. Even on twitter when this was going around being mocked (when people had the ability to read the entire thread and all my tweets), I was still getting quote-retweets from other lgbt+ people saying “oh she’s bi? we don’t claim her.” :\
Apparently I’m a bad bi because it took fandom for me to get over my homophobia. I should’ve been born woke I guess
I’m very sorry people are doing this to you, man. As someone raised in a muslim family. I experienced the same with anime. You don’t deserve to have your words as bi person taken out of content like that.
People, even from our own community, can be really gross to their own. Which is a shame.
It’s a real shame. I’ll never understand how people can be so cruel and mocking towards others in their community. Have some compassion and understanding, y’know? I’m mostly over it now, it’s been months, but occasionally a screenshot of this tweet still gets passed around (à la
op here) with no context and that reignites a-holes in my inbox again
OP I can totally relate to your experience because growing up in India you get taught that “LGBT is evil western culture but Indians have true values and gay people don’t exist here.” We have even less of an excuse to be homophobic than you do because none of the Hindu holy books mention that LGBT is sinful in fact they don’t bring it up at all. In spite of that most Indian kids are taught that LGBT people are freaks and being gay is the worst insult.
We had an anime channel called Animax. In the mid-2000s they used to air “Maria Watches Over Us.” That was my first introduction to the idea of LGBT being portrayed as just another love like straight people have. “Fate/Stay Night”, which I got into around the same time, was the first time I had a crush on a female fictional character. Those things were part of what led to me realizing I was bi when I was in 12th grade.
It doesn’t matter how someone became accepting or discovered themselves. It matters that they got there at all.
That’s very true! Thank you for sharing your story too. It’s reassuring that others had a similar experience
what the fuck is goiing on
You acted like a cunt and got served, pretty much.
That is exactly what’s going on.crestholder is garbage for taking an innocent and extremely relatable statement and trying to get people to attack discoursecatharsis .
w
y’all are whack as shit crestholder didn’t try to get anyone to attack anyone lmfao the tweet out of context is just funny. y’all are too fuckin much
Crestholder also didn’t try to stop all the awful, rude comments and replies geared towards me when they shared this screenshot. And this post also explains the 20+ anon messages I woke up to mocking me about this a week ago so.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re full of BS, crestholder left no comment to indicate that “lol this tweet is funny.” They just sat back and let people make horrible conclusions about me.
Nice attempt to save your friend’s ass though, 10/10.
I just want an apology or some acknowledgement of “oops, I didn’t know, my bad,” but y’all can’t even do that much. Pitiful.
1. it’s not their job to filter idiots who don’t go and seek out full context of the tweet, direct your annoyance towards them (or how about don’t give them attention–it really isn’t hard to just delete malicious anons)2. crestholder also left 0 comments pertaining to any opinion on your tweet or later statements either, so you can’t really go and make that claim either. the tweet is posted as is, because as is, it seems comedic. not every post needs indication of anything. you can just post things as is3. im not friends w op gg4. everyone gets anon hate, it’s called ignore it and don’t give them attention. i have people in my inbox daily saying stupid shit. u know what i do? not give a fuck bc no one is entitled shit
What was their intent in sharing my screenshot out of context with no comment then? If you’re not friends with them, how do you know they didn’t intend for people to mock or harass me?
In my initial reply to crestholder, I even acknowledged that they may not have had ill-intent in sharing my tweet out of context, and simply stated that I would appreciate if they would reblog my explanation so people know the full story. And crestholder replies with a “what the fuck is going on.” So I think it’s clear that their intention is to treat my tweet (and as an extension, me, and all the other people who have similar experiences) as a joke, when it’s sharing a common experience many people have (realizing their sexuality through fiction/fandom).
I simply explained the full context behind my tweet. They could’ve just reblogged my explanation and said “sorry, I didn’t know” and been done with it.
I did ignore and delete the anon hate. Then a week later, I found the source where it was coming from
(whether with intent or not, their post is responsible for the anon hate I got yet again months after this drama finally died down). I approached OP to explain my tweets, hoping they would be considerate and spread the truth. So what’s your issue here?
As someone who’s had their statements screenshotted with no context and received anon hate for it, please consider not doing that, OP. It’s not funny, it’s a dick move. Especially for people such as myself who spent their entire childhoods being bullied relentlessly for being weird and cringeworthy.
Fuck people, I remember when fanfic was starting to take off online, and slash fic was becoming more and more common and there were message boards swamped with comments about how they had never considered queer issues before but (insert fic here) had really opened their eyes.
I grew up in a country where it was illegal to expose kids to anything gay, fanfic was the first time I became aware of queer culture, and it went miles towards normalising it for me.
