“Uplifting news” that once again hilights the absolutely infuriating conservative psychology of “I give absolutely zero fucks about this topic until and unless it affects me personally”.
I am glad the dude changed his ways, don’t get me wrong, but fuck me if it isn’t depressing to consider that this behavior pattern is absolute cancer, and really hard to work constructively with on a societal scale.
Hey it's cool. I came out to my parents thinking that they would have a similar "awakening."
They didn't.
So, way to go this guy, you're better than my parents. admittedly low bar, but hey, good news is good news!
Sorry your parents suck
Probably because their parents sucked.
Hopefully jpeterson2005 breaks the suck cycle.
Edit: or jpreston2005
I’m not your parents and I also think you’re best being who you really are.
Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Technically we all may possess this, with some topic, somewhere in our lives
Conservatives just picked a bunch that fucking suck for others lol.
Like, I hate mayo. I bet someone really skilled could change my mind, but I'm not gonna fucking try. Fuck Mayo
With the difference being that you don't go around bullying people who do eat mayo, and you don't try to ban people from eating mayo.
Or well, actually, maybe you do, I wouldn't know.
Maybe I could like make a religion out of it and get mayo banned from public places...hey.. wait
I agree, but I think it's more than just not liking something. There's an active component to it, like if through your hatred of mayo you were trying to ban its use on sandwiches and in sauces.
There's mayo in our community! Wake up people!
Ummmm, it’s like, sheepuuuuuuhl. Oh, and don’t ask people to be woke. Ewwwwuh!

Can't wake up... that would be Woke.
They kept telling people to wake up... so people finally started to... now that's a threat to their existence.
conservatives on average have a higher disgust response and think themselves more exceptional than others.
I would say they do this more than non-conservatives because they are motivated by disgust rather than ideals or empathy.
