Danshikou ni Dokusareta Otokonoko (Mangadex)

You were right. The manga is mostly really horny with the protag being Totally Not Gay or Trans with his best friend (cis guy).

The art is so cute tho aubrey-rage-cry

What's this from anyway?

Holy shit are you me?

Haha, I find it so funny how often we say this to one another. It's really good to be able to talk with everyone here about it.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I remember not so long ago you coming out and showing off your avi, and you were so happy.

Kind of weird to be on the other side now trans-hatch

I don't know, if you read old letters even the casual correspondence is often really gorgeous.

Maybe those are just the letters we keep, though

The vibes are positively on point lea-smug

Never in my life have I logged on to the internet just to chat with people until here.

Hm, not really. I spent a long time in denial. I actually started actively avoiding trans content creators and trans spaces online because I knew if I spent any amount of time in them, I'd crack. That's when I actually knew. Didn't stop me from avoiding them, though.

But the posters here are too powerful and pulled me in.

I'm actually okay, though. I'm just being dramatic. The last few weeks have been kind of an emotional rollercoaster for me.

Happy to be here now bridget-disco

Coulda at least sprinkled some E into my food...

Your account is transitioning bridget-pride

I've been thinking the same tbh.

Make sure to inform the gang aubrey-bat

The first act of hexbear international terrorism

 

The particular neckbeardy, fedora wearing, Sam Harris listening trend of atheism was a pretty clear reaction to the evangelical psychosis of the Bush administration.

Other geriatrics here can attest that the character of Christianity at the time was way different than it is now. These days, the fascists are more "culturally Christian" and avoid overt bible apologism. But back in the day, these people were constantly on TV spewing young earth creationism and other shit, and they were largely taken seriously. It's hard to believe now how much time was spent "debating" evolution back then. The atheist backlash at least affected discourse aesthetically for some time, making these views laughable, which deplatformed a lot of evangelicals or made them hide their power levels on TV.

Some argue that this brand of atheism justifies imperialism. It does so really only in theory. There really is no material basis for atheists in the US to justify an invasion anywhere in the world. The truth is that Christianity is still a far more powerful force for imperialism. Bush said that God told him to invade Iraq. I don't see any president saying anytime soon that the US needs to secularize a country through force.

If fundamentalist and political religiosity were defeated, then belligerent atheism would dissolve, but the reverse is not true.

Overall, it really does seem like people over emphasize this group of internet no-lifers because of the cultural cringe they manifested.
