Oi! A reminder to y’all, IF someone on the site has encroached into PMs or into the comments and begins slandering your beliefs, please let one of us Site Moderators know and we will handle it. This doesn’t just apply in June. We would rather avoid wallposts stirring up more drama or constantly preaching and rather sharing excitement.
Focus on celebrating pride with your awesome submissions and we will get rid of the unnecessary hate. Same with someone celebrating Juneteenth or Eid Al-Adha, no hate is ever necessary.
oooh i get it. so you're not being hateful towards the people themselves, you're just hating the fact that they are gay or any other aspect of LGBTQ. funny thing is, that's still hate and homophobia.
It is not exclusively Christians who are homophobic, nor is it true that all Christians are homophobic. This is not the platform for anyone to try and convert anyone else to their religion nor is it the place to put the burden of your beliefs onto someone else. This is especially but not exclusively true during pride month. If you go to a person posting about their pride in their identity and post about how wrong that is in the eyes of God, that is hateful and homophobic plain and simple. We will not tolerate it and will remove this kind of behavior when we see it.
I'd like to say that most of us Christian users aren't being "hateful to LGBTQ". We love them, and are trying to get them to change their decisions to glorify God. Remember, God wiped out Sodom and Gomorra in part because of the population being LGBTQ. Now, I wouldn't say we should get up in someone's face like "hey. don't be gay" (even though we should), but we aren't trying to be homophobic.
This post reminded me of that one Spongebob movie where he starts panicking and the million of Spongebobs in his mind are frantically running around opening filing cabinets in his brain and then everything catches on fire cuz he overthinks too hard
I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(
I wanted to bug y’all and say another one of those sappy messages, but maybe even just get it to words for myself.
It may be difficult to properly understand self reliance or self care but if people around you or something about yourself does not help support that then I don’t believe it is good for you. My closest friends are the ones that allow me to network with other filmmakers for an entire party and then we all debrief because we can trust that these fellas at the end are my rock. I’m in a tough struggle myself, so many responsibilities or expectations and the last thing I want to do is put my own sleep on the line to try and perfect a paper I need to submit. When i do that it only makes me worse in the longer run, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg and its not this simple.
My only recommendation is just to always focus on yourself. Maybe you need to play Minecraft just to relax and refresh your motivation, maybe you should just stay in rather than force yourself to hang out because that’ll make you only more exhausted. Just understand your worth, no matter how much you are able to accomplish. You are worth it. 💙💚
