Really tired of people saying that they only say the things they do because they want to get an honest reaction out of people, and only that. No, you’re just assholes dying for some attention. Shut up, please.
I’ve pretty much made a science of doing things just to see how people honestly react. Years back, I proudly told people I’d read and enjoyed books they demeaned like “Twilight” just to see how much they’d laugh at me. In the past couple of years I’ve realized that my dating habits are eccentric enough to warrant laughs of derision from a lot of people, and so now I openly speak about them as one of my main ways of testing people. I’ve had boyfriends track me down and try to fight me because of their girlfriends when I was hanging out with a couple of friends who’re gay just for me to turn around and lie through my teeth, “Oh, didn’t you know I’m gay too?” just to see the expected looks of disgust on their faces as they turn away and me and my friends laugh. I have countless shirts with images on them that test the beliefs of whoever’s reading them, like my favourite one with a man diving into a coffin arms wide open crucifix-style, just to see the expected looks of non-acceptance. I’ve been in situations where an entitled person says nigga or nigger over and over again with a crowd of onlookers just for me to continue talking to them casually while the crowd and they think me a coward of some sort. I’ve been in fights where I’ve suddenly stopped fighting halfway through just because I realized not fighting was both the more mature thing and also the more cowardly thing to do in others’ eyes. And my entire online presence has pretty much always been me just personally testing out how people or site algorithms react to something new I’m doing, and most times that’s negatively.
As I said, I’ve made a leisurely science of this. Stop making a joke of what I’ve worked hard to perfect in my spare time since I was a teenager. Are you keeping documented track of how people are reacting to you? No, you’re just assholes dying for some attention. Shut up, please.
If you truly want to test or get a reaction out of people to see who they truly are masks-off always make sure they feel superior to you and that you’re not demeaning anyone in their eyes but yourself. It’s not that hard really, you have so much detestation to choose from! The number of things and groups of peoples that the common person looks down upon just because are surprisingly infinite. The sheer volume of it all would be amazing if it wasn’t so saddening, but at least it’s honest.
