The problem is when they react poorly to our contribution, we internalize the error as our own flaw rather than recognizing we picked shitty people to socialize with.

i got actually fucking screamed at for saying "hail gay satan" while everyone else was saying "hail neil breen" wtf else do you expect me to do? i have never seen a neil breen movie and i'm your queer acquaintance with religious trauma who nobody apparently told that that the fact they were a legit satanist made them uncomfortable.

“hail gay satan”

religious trauma

...

is that like a horse and cart thing, or a chicken and egg thing?

the church invalidated what it had taught me in its actions against others in the aftermath of 9/11. cue 11yo good cisgender christian girl's 25-year (and still ongoing) transformation into a gay, trans witchthing that found spiritual comfort with other queer lefty demonolators.

which idiom does this answer fall under?

Why were people hailing neil breen? Was this like a worship service? Because I'd call that a cult and GTFO.

no one can be held responsible for irl satanists. it has to be in the top 3 minorest of minorities.

and that's coming from a member of an ethnic group classified as "critically endangered"

edit: last part was a joke, in case it's not clear. whole reply is a joke, really. sorry what was the topic again? jk

vastly far more widespread than is openly promoted.
