who’s gonna tell trump supporters obama wasn’t president during hurricane katrina……..
My favorite part of this is people mentioned Barack Obama in these tweets! So who’s going to tell them? I hope Obama does! I mean, it was three years after Hurricane Katrina when Obama was elected president. Three years. Almost all of George W. Bush’s second term happened during and after Katrina. Where were these people that they don’t even know who was president? There was so much news about the hurricane and W’s terrible response to it. They’ll probably blame him for the Kennedy assassination next.
This is what I mean about how a worrying number of Trump supporters seem to have a limited grasp on reality in order to preserve their belief that electing him was the right thing.
Also Obama was there even though he wasn’t yet president.
Does anybody else see how they actually take Trump’s presidential negligence (all his time and tax payers’ dollars spent golfing) and try to apply that to Obama + trying to make it seem as tho he had any negative part in Katrina. Like Trumplicans really are trying to negate one of Trump’s most public faults off onto Obama lol. Like they’re really trying that lol
I tried looking up the reason and the biggest answer I got was “because the porn!!” But that doesn’t seem like a good enough reason for HATRED, at least not to me. I’ve been a part of fandoms for shows, novels, movies, and comics and our fanfic/fanart goes to some weird places with its smut. Like. WEIRD. Places!… Anime, regular or hentai, does too. Video game stuff can also be mega weird, and I recently learned there are folks who are into seriously into monster porn (Y’all I saw things with no skin and many eyes and weird skeletal systems… i can’t blame anybody but myself for the nightmare of that one. After all, I didn’t have to click it). Hell, “regular” porn sometimes has me squinting at my screen going wtf. All of these, while they may be called weird, aren’t HATED, or at least the entire group of people aren’t hated. But furry stuff and furries are? Why?
I remember when I was younger, people would give cosplayers a hard time… because apparently being an adult was supposed to mean not outwardly showing that the imagination still exists or not outwardly showing that you LIKE still having an imagination? And heaven forbid an adult do more than pay taxes, read the wallsteet journal, and drink black coffee. (Can I just say that I’m so glad people are over the belief that putting cream or sweeteners in coffee is “childish”.) Anyway, people don’t give cosplayers as hard a time any more. I guess I just don’t see the difference in copslayers and people who dress as their animal character thingies?
If there’s a person dressed as a big blue fuzzy dude wearing a 3 piece suit and an xmen logo slapped somewhere, people think it’s fine. At the same event though, if someone is dressed like a fuzzy dog, people think it’s bad? I don’t get it. One is dressing up as someone else’s makebelieve character, while the other is dressing as their own? And they’re at a thing where costumes are allowed…so…
Is that what it is? People cringe at original characters and I know that there used to be(?) a hate of OCs in fics but that doesn’t seem to be as big of a thing these days. People either kinda accept the cringe or ignore the work and move on? And the furry thing is just that, I think: a whole bunch of bring-your-own-creation?
If people just thought “good lord that’s weird as shit” I could understand (because, not trying to sound mean or anything, but it is kinda weird at times). I just don’t understand the actual hate. People wanna light them on fire and I don’t get it.
Does it matter that I haven’t knowingly met any irl? I take pictures with all of the various suited people when I go to festivals. Pink Panther is at Pride every year, there’s a company that has a mascot with a golfball for a head who we dance with at Pride too. There was even a TRex this year. When I did go to the Ga Ren fest, it was cosplay weekend so there were superheroes and fairies…and furries. And I’m a “can I take a picture with you” person. I’ve never had a full-on convo with any of them though. Idk. I just ?????
