The Unpopular Opinions of a Post-Modern Prep

The appropriately inappropriate opinions of a post-modern prep. All the news that's fit to print, and some things that aren't. This tumblr will address hypocrisy in all its flavours. I will be brutal in doing so.

1. This is very triggering about bullying and suicide. Proceed with caution.

2. This is from Rolling Stone’s Valentine’s Day issue.

3. If you are a straight person in the Glee fandom, oh god, do I want you to read every word of this.

This is horrifying, and that’s exactly why you need to read it.

Correction to the comment about: If you’re a person, you should read this. 

this is not an article to go into lightly. it is not something to read without expecting to be profoundly affected. i feel sick to my stomach and i can’t stop crying. but if you are in such a space where you are capable of handling the topics involved, then it is a worthy read. a devastating one. such a world this is. 

Oh man, this is — I can’t make it past the first page but this has to get out there. Pass it on.

Read this.

“Open your eyes, people,” Anderson recently wrote to the local newspaper. “What if a 15-year-old is seduced into homosexual behavior and then contracts AIDS?”


What if a 15 year old is bullied to death thanks to deceptive hate mongers like Anderson. Yes, nothing shows off your moral authority like manipulating people’s emotions through deceit. No big surprise she was inspired by Bachmann. 

This is one of those things that has to get out there. Bachman supports this; this is her district.
The entire system out there is flawed. When you’re declared a Suicide Contagion Zone, you fix it, you don’t dither on about how it’s underlying issues.

I especially love how the administration is saying these suicides have nothing to do with being gay, and everything to do with poor mental health, like those two are completely unrelated.
In an environment this hostile, getting (literally) pissed on and beaten and bullied and tormented for being/presumed to be gay, of course their mental health is going to be terrible.

I hope that lawsuit goes through, and I hope they scalp that school-board for everything it has. And then, then, I hope the plaintiffs use that money to fund a magnet school specifically to educate the students who feel too unsafe to attend regular school. It’s not the best solution (ideally I’d expel all those bullying little shits), but if it helps them graduate, then so. be. it.
