If you are a grown adult, who has interests, hobbies, friends, a job, family… why the fuck are you caring about what other people do? Cringing at people who are different is small-minded thinking. Confining yourself to what you know and what is palatable to others doesn’t allow you to stay relevant or have your ideas and concepts last throughout time. Most of the best artists were judged and thought to be weird, and that’s who lasts. Hating what you don’t understand at its core is not only bias but also prejudice, which enabled being bigoted.
I am a level-2 autistic person who makes disability advocacy content and actively posts on socials as if it’s a diary. I do a lot of cool things (opening a sick af irl business as an event organizer/promoter/social media person), make sick art, but I also unironically love S3RL, Dorian Electra, anime, vocaloids, dating simulators that are often gay, speedcore, and Weezer. I’ve been into most of these things since 2010 and I was not popular for it. I also couldn’t have a back and forth conversation I was 7 and didn’t have friends up until 2 years ago… but the cool thing about it is that I was myself the entire time without shame and now my life is awesome. Be yourself and be open minded and curious, and maybe you will also not be miserable. Happiness is found without instilling judgment; to be free is to welcome knowledge and understanding. You can use your energy for literally anything else and you will find more purpose than being a hater.
