call me by y/n

I graduated high school in 99.

There was a student at our school named Wayne.

Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.

Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.

The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.

Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help.
He went to guidance counselors for help.
He went to the principals for help.

He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.

Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.

So... no.

No one in my school talked about being trans.

Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.

For anyone who needs it. Use in good health.

web 2.0 companies that try to frame people using adblockers as greedy freedloaders always conveniently turn their heads when those same “greedy freeloaders” tell them that advertisers are paying to put malicious and predatory ads on their playforms and adblock users are, by in large, using adblockers to protect themselves

the first time i ever saw an adblocker recommended was for people with photosensitive epilepsy getting barraged with “congrats! you won!” style popups nonstop

the first time i ever personally used an adblocker was when deviantart’s excessive ad placement slowed down my household’s shared computer to the point it was unusable and my mom told me to stop using deviantart. so instead i installed an adblocker

and nowadays on Youtube and Facebook you get ads for casinos and alcohol targeted toward addicts and people with bipolar disorder, quack medicine targeted to people with chronic medical conditions, hate speech targeted toward the victims of said hate speech, and horror movie ads with flashing lights targeted toward…everyone.

and of course Google, who serves a majority of these ads, doesn’t actually care to remove any of the dangerous bullshit it shoves in your eyes but will expect you to pay them for it. sorry, i’d just rather not use youtube at that point. you had your chance.

Do not ever listen to a word of shame from a corporation. Their goal is only and always to extract maximum value from consumers.

Piracy, adblocking, data encryption, third-party repair, literally all of these things are, bottom-line, only bad for the corporations' record-breaking profit line. They are inherently good for the working person.

erm.

i don’t think there’s anything funnier than saying “god forbid women do anything” in response to women doing the most objectively horrifying actions possible.
