WARNING: this rant will include topics such as lgbtq+, death, race, feminism, pedophilia, self-harm, and last but not least, suicide.

As you may see this is going to be a very long rant. So buckle up and get ready.

Oh, and there's gonna be a lot of swearing too.

Oh, fuck it. Let's begin.
--------------

Hey guys.

Lately a lot has been in my mind.

First of all, to get this out of the way, I miss my grandpa so freaking much. But you probably don't want to read me babbling on and on about how much I miss him and all of our memories.

But whatever.

Next:

People are getting killed because of their race/skin color again.
Dammit, are we traveling back in time or some shit like that? I thought America was better than this.
Not only are they getting killed for their race, but it's because of cops not doing their fucking job.
I'm not exactly sure what happened, I've heard bits and pieces, but supposedly a man got killed by a cop because of his race/skin color (he was innocent).
Are we going back thousands of years or something? Next thing you know slavery will be legal again. Jesus.
Kids growing up are going to see those news stories of people getting killed, and be intimidated by/scared of them.
They won't understand that those people were innocent.
To be honest, growing up, I was intimidated by certain men (and women), even when just seeing them pass me on the street. But believe me, I have always been, am currently, and always will be against racism. Now I know better. You can't judge a book by its cover, people.

Phew, that was a load off my shoulders. But we still have more.

Next:

LGBTQ+ being hated on. This will be a shorter section because nothing big has happened (not that I know of) in their community, but I just want you all to know that if you don't like LGBTQ+ themes, there's the fucking door. Lgbt people aren't any different than straight people, they just have different likings/tastes. Okay? Okay. *Insert TFIOS quotes here*

Next up to bat:

A couple days ago I watched a lot of social experiment videos one YouTube. No, not the stupid as shit Sam Pepper "it's just a prank bro" ones, REAL ones that have SERIOUS meanings.
They were a range of topics, from child predators to the homeless.
And after watching a bunch, all I can say is I have a hate-love relationship with society.
Some people are amazing, some people are sick, pedophile bastards.
My friend (I am keeping her name secret for personal reasons), let's call her "K", was almost abducted by a weirdo last year. She was taking a nice walk and she wasn't even 1/10 of a mile away from her house, when a man in a white van pulled up to her and asked her to get in his car. K told me that she was terrified. She was even on the local news. Gladly, K ran away, ducked into some neighbor's bushes and the man eventually drove away. She called 911 and about 4-5 hours later the police found this man at a family cookout, and he was arrested.
Ands that's just one example to show young kids that things you hear on tv ACTUALLY happen.
"Would you let a pregnant lady smoke?", "Would you help a lost child?", and "Would you let a child smoke?" Are just 3 videos I watched that made me mad.
99% of people put to the test helped the pregnant lady smoke by lighting her cigarette.
30% of people put to the test didn't help the child find her mom, and there was even one man who tried to steal her. The cops were called, and guess what? HE WAS A REGISTERED CHILD PREDATOR!!
20% of people put to the test helped the child smoke by lighting his cigarette, but also about 20% of people who told the child not to smoke did it in a horrible way (hitting him on the head, cursing at him, shoving him).

Did that make sense?

Anyways, I think that's enough for that topic...

But if any of you would like the links to the videos I watched (I can tell you other ones that I watched if you would like, you can tell me here), and I'll either make another chapter on this or pm/dm you the links.

Next:

First of all, if any of you are considering suicide, here are the all the hotlines:

You've probably seen his picture before, but just remember, someone is here to listen. It may be me, it may be your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, best friend, therapist, or it may just be the person on the other end of one of these hotlines.
Whatever it is, you can get through it. I believe in you.
I am always here to talk, my dm/pm is always open, because I've dealt with some pretty messed up shit too.
❤️
Please DO NOT hurt yourself in any way, for any reason. I've been there, and believe me, I fucking regret it.

Next topic, and I think the last:

I am sick of anti-feminists. I'm all for girl power, I also believe that women are maybe even superior to men, so yeah. I hate anti-feminists, ESPECIALLY when they are women. If it wasn't for past feminists, you wouldn't be allowed to do what you fucking want, you wouldn't be allowed to vote, and if wasn't for past feminists then you might even be forced to wear more concealing clothes, such as a burka! So be happy for what you have, because in other countries in the world, those laws against women are even true and happening! And please, boys and girls, don't bring up that "meninists" shit, acting like men are not being given attention at all.
Do men have higher pay then women? Yes.
Remember in school when there was a dress code? I do. And the man telling us about it even said "Now, dress code. For the guys, there's just a couple things, no open toed shoes and no shirts promoting alcohol or dugs or anything inappropriate. Now you can go to sleep until the next section. Now girls, we have a whole thing to go through, so listen up..."
Now I know that it's not all because of inequality, some of it is because some teachers may be creeps and they don't want them messing with your "private square".
But still.

Ugh. Phew. That was a lot. Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get those things out. There's probably gonna be more rants in the future, so if any of you guys want me to cover a topic, then you can suggest it and I'll talk about it!

Talk to you guys later! Love y'all!

P.S. Thank you for listening to me 😘❤️
