This me. Bi guy and it took me like several decades to realize that. Was convinced all my life bi was not real

Grifters will grift no matter what. Tolerance of intolerance leads to extremists taking control.

Bigots should not be afforded any pleasantries. Name, shame, make them uncomfortable.

I ate ice cream once and now I’m bi.

I was in the shower at the end of my trip and felt this horrible slamming feeling in my chest because it just wasn’t fucking fair that I had to hide and feel shameful about what I was into (not just women) and then I was like “fuck, I’m just bi”.

Sounds silly but it was one of the most profound experiences and helpful ones I’ve had.

Human sexuality and attraction exists on a spectrum. You just happen to not be at either extreme end. I found out I was too the same way you did, except a mushroom trip started the thought process.

Of course, because Star Wars has such wide appeal. Extremists shout louder and more often than moderates, which is why you’ll find way more extremist content than moderate content. Which lends to the perception that Star Wars fans are bigoted and lunatics.

But this is selection bias. You’re more likely going to find people shouting about how something sucks and potentially even being a bigot than people who happily enjoy Star Wars for what it is.

Labelling fandoms as inherently toxic or bigoted or whatever else just oversimplifies it all. Under these definitions, I fall within the fandom of Star Wars. Under the same definitions in this video, I’m anti LGBTQI and a supporter of Jungian psychology and Jordan Peterson. This is counter to reality though.

I think analyzing the story and context through a critical psychology lens and determining that all of the fandom must have a unified ideology is silly and the product of someone having way too much time and imagination on their hands.

I liked action and lightsabers and space ships as a kid. Doesn’t mean I’m a fascist or anti lgbtqia+. This reductive thinking that often is pushed here serves no purpose other than to further divide and classify people.

Jedi are idealogues just like the Sith. They complete each other because they’re both extremists on opposite spectrums. The Jedi had big gaping flaws throughout their history, obviously so have the Sith.

I’m just here for Jar Jar.

So am I not allowed to like Star Wars because I’m bi? Or perhaps I’m not actually bi? Someone let me know if I should be feeling bad rn. I’m having a hard time coming to the conclusion from this 6 hour video.

Can you explain to an ancient and out of touch 30something what “women:coffee cup” means or implies?
