Im a bit of a weirdo leave me alone

However.

In making a little ref sheet for young Simon (cause the two shots you get of him in the movie are terrible quality lmao) and I looked up hunting knives and found this deer skinning knife

That’s a little too similar to the knife holster Simon’s mom gave him.

They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.

“simon sees grace as an angel! simon thinks he’s in heaven!” do you know how fucking scary that is

Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la "my best friend couldn't have said that racist thing, they're not evil."

The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la "I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children's ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it."

My grandmother is blind, and once she lost her vision, she stopped watching TV. She watched Fox around 10 years ago last, so she is a republican, but she was not miserable to be around since she wasnt insanely brainwashed. She was racist and homophobic, but not to a degree that she treated anyone outwardly badly. Talk about them behind their back like a mean girl in high school? Absolutely, but she was genuinely nice to people even if she had a preconceived issue with them. This came to trans people too. Im a trans man, and I came out to her the first time 6 years ago, not long after my kid was born. I cried and asked if she hated me, and she was surprisingly okay with it. Assured me she didn't care. She still wasnt going to use my preferred name or anything but she urged me to transition because quote "You cant live your life to make me happy. If youre making yourself miserable just to please me then you're not actually living. That wouldnt make me happy". It was great and it was the closest Ive ever been to this woman. That is not the case now. I have a cousin who ive never met who is also a trans man. My grandma's sister talks to her often and complained and whined and cried about him 'embarrassing them' and she never speaks her own mind about anything. She just nods and agrees with whatever someone says even if she gets off the phone and immediately says how dumb they were. And at first she talked about how it wasnt her business and she wished they'd stop telling her about all of that. And then she started engaging those ideas. And now a week ago she found out I have a beard (something she knew about last year and didn't care about) and started screaming at me about how I was an embarrassment and looking for attention and disgusting and how 'you never told me any of this I would have never talked to you again i want nothing to do with you'

Im still stuck here because Im her caregiver where no one else wants to be around her, but her opinion on trans people changed entirely based purely on someone else complaining to her about a trans person in our family that she didnt know or care about.

Shes since returned to acting like nothing happened and acts like she never blew up at me, but watching how quickly and easily she went from mild confusion/discomfort to 'everyone hates you and thinks youre a freak' within a year genuinely shook me to my core
