Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name
for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!
I think I know how this works.
For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.
So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?
Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?
Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.
Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.
Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm
What’s the solution then? Or if there’s no solution, should we make things even queerer and more diverse?
The solution unfortunately would hinge on these people being willing to change
no

This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.
i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
christianity being a real facet of peoples lives instead of something you grow out of is killing me what do you mean youre 19 and still believe that mission trips are a positive force in the world
When humanity seems so evil, believing there is something good in this world gives reason to keep going.
Mission trips = humanity being so evil, jsyk.
I'm going to respond like that person said their comment in good faith for a second.
I've been on mission trips, both domestic and international. I once believed I was doing good work. I don't any more, and I'm going to walk you through why. We're going to set aside the religious aspect for a second and call it what it is: voluntourism. You're going somewhere novel to you and doing volunteer work. That's voluntourism.
Here's what I learned over the 21 years since my first international mission trip. Voluntourism is a destabilizing influence on the people and communities it nominally serves. They introduce a lot of change in a short period of time and then they leave without doing any of the work needed to make those changes sustainable. The people who live there are faced with a no-win choice: they can try to keep the change going, and devote resources they may not have to creating the necessary infrastructure; they can abandon that change and let it decay over time, with all the risks associated; or they can scrap it for parts and risk upsetting anyone from the original set of voluntourists if they ever come back.
Now imagine that there are kids involved, as they often are. Voluntourists have a nasty habit of using kids as props to enhance the social credibility of their photos. I did this, and I'm ashamed of it. Kids everywhere form emotional bonds easily. So what happens to a kid whose school is constantly bringing in volunteers for a week or two who are friendly and affectionate, who bring food or gifts, and then bounce and never come back? That kid eventually grows numb. They don't connect with people as easily. They stop trusting that people have good intentions.
And all this is without even addressing the objectification of people in poverty that goes into these trips. The devaluation of cultures. The implicit, and sometimes explicit paternalism and colonialism that fuels them. Voluntourism depends on the idea that you are coming from somewhere "better" to somewhere "worse" and that your presence and cultural exports will inherently improve the place you are going.
If you want to do volunteer work, start at home. Start somewhere that you can go to regularly, that strengthens your community. Don't just show up for a day and call it done. And if you want to travel, travel! But remember when you do that you are a guest, and you owe it to your hosts to tread lightly and with respect.

why is it sunday evening again how long are they going to keep doing this
(bravely) I think body parts should only hurt if something is wrong.
And that something should be fixable
Ideally with a warm bath and a good night's sleep
