Kindness and acceptance of other people's journeys and stories is the rent we pay to live in this beautiful world. Wear an armor that is not forged of iron, for iron is human and destructible; wear an armor forged from your own story of truth and hope. Spread your love, joy, and truth and watch it illuminate the world with wildfire. Do not go quietly into the evening, my dear sisters. Take back your spaces and the nights that threaten destruction.
Let not the bastards of this world drown you.

When Oppression Metaphors Go Bad: A Case Study of X-Men

X-Men has always been a metaphor for oppression. Most commonly in the early comics, mutants and their fight for acceptance was a metaphor for the Civil Rights movement. More modern media uses the mutants as a stand in for the LGBT+ community facing homophobia. And this is all well and good…..except…. Well. The super powers muck it up.

Millennials and Gen Z: Trump shows signs of being a genocidal dictator, we shouldn’t vote for him

Baby boomers: OOOOO Is your Safe Space being violated by his comments snowflake??? How AWFUL IT must be to have a REAL man for president instead of OoOoBamA

Trump, after being voted into office: *leaves the UN human rights council, puts hundreds of young children into prison camps and tent cities, takes away valuable items like rosaries similar to the removal of rings during the Holocaust, puts babies and toddlers into foster homes/orphanages, literally treats ACTUAL CHILDREN like prisoners for wanting a better life elsewhere*

Baby boomers: oh….oh no….

Millennials and Gen Z: *stare into the camera like they’re on the office*

bold of you to assume the boomers have reached the “oh no” point

Don’t forget Gen X’s “whatever, man. Voting doesn’t matter. I’m going with Gary Johnson. He gets it.”

That last comment tho ^^^^

Men not being allowed to be emotional & rampant homophobia are the reasons men commit suicide 3.5x more than women… most men are given no outlet to feel feelings. To the point that they kill themselves.
