This is me, saying right here, right now: I am so sick of the outpouring of racist bullshit that's followed on the heels of the election.

Enjoy those links? I didn't look for them. I stumbled on all of those just by reading my friendslist and chatting with friends. Some were linked approvingly, some in disbelieving disgust (oneironaut: "Okay, we're cutting

WHY HAVE YOU ALWAYS HATED DAN SAVAGE?

[a_white_rain]

I'm glad I've never read/seen him. I've just heard his name.

[moebot]

I NEVER LIKED HIM EITHER
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY

I JUST GOT THE ~DOUCHE VIBE~ OR MAYBE 'CAUSE I'M A HIPSTER AND JUST INNATELY DISLIKE THINGS OTHERS LIKE

oh well

I think he's pretty decent to kinky women, that is, women who fall under his definition of Good Women. Mmmm sexism in action. But yeah, the whole "YOU GAVE A GUY A WEIRD LOOK, IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT THAT PEOPLE'S ATTITUDES TOWARDS SEX ARE SCREWED UP IN THIS SOCIETY!" thing, ugh.

But wow I hadn't heard about the shit he says about transfolk aldskjfsldfd ewwwww

[annwyd]

Yeeeeah. It's frustrating because yeah, I do like the stuff he's said about rape and consent, and he does give useful sex advice sometimes, which is his job, right? But then mixed in among all that is the super-douchey stuff. I admit it took me a while to see (okay, so I saw the obnoxious attitude towards bisexuals and the sexist ideas about female sexuality pretty early on) because I only read him sporadically and...I'm pretty privileged myself, rofl, but now that I'm finding out more I'm so done with him. :I

YES, YES, THIS IS WHY I HATE DAN SAVAGE. FUCK THAT JERK.

[mekosuchinae]

NOT LITERALLY, THO'.

[mekosuchinae]

SOMETIMES I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS CRAZY?? BECAUSE MY FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS GOING ON ABOUT HOW ENLIGHTENED AND AMAZING AND LADY-POSITIVE HE IS AND...

HE'S...

kind of a dick.

But what do I know, I'm a vanilla bisexual lady. :(

[annwyd]

Well, obviously, you're only vanilla because you haven't tried the right kind of buttsex yet, and of course you're bisexual, all women are. But no men.

SO SAITH DAN SAVAGE.

[mekosuchinae]

Thank you, Dan Savage! Thank you for SHOWING ME THE LIGHT.
