User blog:Nathan Mapping/Homophobia

Irrelevant content incoming, if you're not curious about it then just don't read, or just ignore.

So you need to know that my life is kinda boring in terms of action, and it's usually not me who experiences something extremely hilarious. However, tonight I found a GEM.

I don't know why, but I was scrolling through my e-mails (quick note that I barely ever get something), when I saw the perfection of the decade. The highlight of my life. An e-mail, regarding my sexual orientation, titled "FUCK YOU FAGGOT" (stylised in the same way as I mentioned). You need to know that I rarely experience homophobia towards me, so it was quite new for me. I will just quote the whole e-mail below instead of an explanation.

"I HOPE YOU DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH, NO-ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE BISEXUAL, SO WHAT IF YOU'RE MENTALLY ILL? NO ONE CARES!

^_^"

First of all, it is an important fact that I easily get triggered, however I don't know how or why, but I actually started laughing at the stupid barbarism of this whole message. I mean it is ok to not like those who're like "IM GAY BITCH STFU BECAUSE I AM GAY". I don't like these kind of people either, therefore I don't get it why I have been spotted as a target.

Lastly, another important fact about me is that I usually don't leave any aggressive behaviour without at least a word, therefore I felt like I had to reply. I could've replied in the same aggressive, barbaric, uncivilised way, or in a good ol' Nathan way. Well you can guess which option I chose eventually.

I will quote my reply as well below:

"Dear (insert name here),

It is a sad thing knowing that you wish for the death of an individual only because of his sexual orientation (please note that I wrote "sexual orientation" instead of "mental illness" here). However, I truly agree with you about the fact that nobody cares about who I am. To make it clear, I'm not telling anyone my sexuality unless they ask me.

A thing I'd like to point out is that writing in all-caps, telling me to die and then putting some random emoji makes you look like a 9 years old, bored, triggered mother's child whose only way to spend time is to send insults to others via dm or e-mail. I personally believe that the best way to tell your personal opinion about a group of people is to calm down, grab a cup of tea or anything, and think before saying anything.

Another thing that's mentionable is that I'm personally very happy about the fact that you had enough time to send me a civilised, well-written and most importantly calm expression of your personal opinion about me and my sexual orientation. I really hope that this caring of you won't die out in the near future

Yours truly,

Nathan"

I just wanted to point out that bullshit truly exist, and if you get triggered of someone who's either bored out of their own mind or feel like they MUST insult someone who hasn't ever done anything wrong against them, then all you need to do is to laugh at the blindness of these people, and maybe respond in a smart way.

Also big shout out to Joana Cedia for giving me the will to sort of fight back in a somewhat funny way
