Daniel's Rant III: Close Mindedness
18 years ago
So, those of you who read the first rant will see that this kind of ties into the part of that one. This rant was also inspired by a journal I have seen today. Again, I will not name names; YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Actually, I saw it not more than five minutes before getting the ideas for a new Daniel's Rant © ; Nah, I'm just kidding, that shit ain't copyright. Use it all you want .
At any rate.
Alright, will somebody please tell this clueless nigger when it became "hip" to be closeminded?
Now, don't feed me, "but that's human nature!" bullshit. I'm not going to argue that; hells, I'll be among the first to SAY that. But there's a certain line you can cross where it ceases to be human nature, and becomes you being a bigot because you like it.
So, let's get going on dissecting today's daily dose of BULLSHIT.
Alright, the opening line is something along the lines of, "I want to thank everyone for showing positive reactions to my art," yadda yadda. Stereotypical, "I'm about to say something I know is going to piss someone off" load of crock.
Then she goes on with some bullshit philosophical discussion, talking about how everyone has light sides and darks sides. When the FUCK did I get teleported into Star Wars!? D:< GODDAMIT, I WANT MAH LIGHTSABAH! At any rate, I'm already going, "Oh, gods, this isn't going to be good."
So, in this same paragraph she then goes onto to bitch about how it's "not her job to bring the best out of people," and that she's tired of the "hassle of seeing things that break my heart".
...
Okay, am I the one of the FEW furries who's socially adept enough to realize that if you let a fucking DRAWING "break your heart," you need some professional help? Seriously, WTF mate? IT'S A D-R-A-W-I-N-G. F-A-N-T-A-S-Y. Born from the IMAGINATION. Which has the prerequisite, of being not real. Therefore, having no substance. Therefore, confusing me as to how it can "break your heart". Let alone the fact, that it's PORN that "breaks her heart." FUCKING, PORN. And, yes, I do realize the double statement there. Who in the HELLS has an emtional response to porn? Sexual, physical, I can understand. Body sees sex, body wants some. But, emotional? Imma' go out on a limb, and state that such a "reaction" is a fairly good indicator that she should get some tests or something; not necessarily that something IS wrong, but a fairly accurate indication that something MIGHT be wrong.
Whatever.
Okay, then she goes on to state how she's here to share her creations, not be "to be disturbed to the depths of my soul" ... ... ... Okay, I'm going to say this QUITE plainly.
VERY PLAINLY.
IF. YOU. DON'T. LIKE. WHAT. YOU. ARE. SEEING. CHANGE. YOUR. MATURE. FILTERS. See, I didn't even use any contractions?
But, there's no fucking way that such an act is too complicated; that such an idea is too intellectually grapsing (thank you, Maxine), that it would escape her cognative abilities completely. I mean, she's a human, right? She has a brain, right? She uses it, RIGHT? >_>
Moving right along. Then she starts to windbag about how she "can't take it anymore". And she even decides to say that it's useless to try to debate with people (and people, no, I'm not kidding; she specificalyl chose the word debate, instead of talk, signfying that despite all her previous comments, she does in fact wish to keep a hostile environment between her and anyone who has a fetish she doesn't agree with).
Now, don't get me wrong. I've said it before, I'll say it again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not liking or not being interested in a fetish. I'm not going to get all up in someone's face, screaming at them. "YOU DON'T LIKE CUB PORN! YOU DON'T LIKE VORE! YOU DON'T LIKE FATFUR!" Hells, I don't even like Vore or Fatfur stuff.
(Gah...creeyp bycicle mounted bible thumpers outside my windows...)
However, like I said earlier, there are certain lines that seperate not liking/understaning the meaning behind fetishes, and creating an outright hostile environment perpetrated by you and you alone. If you ask people not to send you links to things, to not talk about things with you, that's okay. However, once you start passing off some thinly-veiled attempt at moral superiority, you no longer have the moral high ground. Maybe one day, she'll grow up and realize that a person's sexuality, nor their sexual kinks, do not define them. It is how they behave, how they act, and what they believe, that define them. And she has proven herself to a poor example of a human being, shutting down any attempt at understanding and tolerance, which are the ONLY things that define someone as a good person, before they can even breathe.
I've met zoos with a better grasp of morals and ethics than she does. I've met pedophiles who treat others like real human beings, a hell of a lot more often than her. Hells, during my (albeit short) stint in the correction facility, where I was put face-to-face with thieves, gang members and other stereotypically unsavory characters, I noticed that they act with a larger amount of social decorum than I've ever seen her do.
So, getting back to the point of this rant. Someone FUCKING TELL ME when it became "cool" to be ignorant, to be hating, and intolerant. I was still under the impression that everyone strived to become better people, rather than deciding that it's somehow okay to simply sit, stewing in a pool of self-imposed prudishness and fear. But, hey, maybe I'm just an idealist.
Oh well. I'm expecting certain accounts that both she and I watch to go running to her, once they recognize my quotes. Doesn't bother me.
Peace and Love,
WolfDog.
At any rate.
