Hey guys! I might have to say goodbye to a lot of you
Sorry for spamming.
And, also, sorry for expressing my opinions this harshly. I just need to get this out.

Hey Guys!
Okay, so I would like you to unfriend me if you are any of the following:
Racist
Homophobic
Transphobic
Biphobic
Sexist
Misogynistic
Misandristic
Unfriend me if you do not believe in equal rights for all races, religions (yes, ALL religions, including atheism, satanism, etc.), the LGBT community, all genders (including non-binary genders) and sxual orientations.
Unfriend me if you think that privilege doesn't exist in modern society and deny the oppression of others.
Unfriend me if you heavily generalize groups of people.
Unfriend me if you are strongly against alternative subcultures (like goth).
Unfriend me if you are against feminism, think badly about feminist, or refer to us as "femininazis"
Unfriend me if you are a so called "meninist".
Unfriend me if you use slurs that you can't reclaim (for example, if you use the N word and you're not black, you use the F slur and you aren't gay, you use the T slur and you aren't trans dmab, etc.)
Unfriend me if you think that women are ever "asking for it."
Unfriend me if you think that it is okay to make random comments on someone's weight.
Unfriend me if you are not willing to correct your own problematic behavior.
Unfriend me if you think that heteroflexibility, homoflexibility, bisexuality, pansexuality, polysexuality, asexuality and/or demisexuality do not exist. (It is okay if you just don't know what they are).
Unfriend me if you have a problem with any of the following:
I am pro-choice (I'll live if you're pro-life, but if you think that I'm supporting murder or that I'm a horrible person, unfriend me).
I am black.
I am a woman.
I am panromantic.
I am homosexual.
I am an atheist/agnostic.
I am fat.
I am a feminist.
Thank you for listening. I'm sorry if any of you found the need to unfriend me. It was nice knowing you, but these are my beliefs, my identity and a huge part of who I am as a person and they may show up in my future content.

Hm, I get it...if you say so. ^_^
I think I understand what you're saying, but the delivery of what you were trying to convey could've been somewhat better.
To be athiest is to not believe in any kind of god / goddess at all; and to be agnostic means you're unsure of whether or not such divine beings exist, but you're not particularly for or against it either way.
So, you're either one or the other for that. Some people are like that but are still quite alright. It's okay to agree to disagree with some (exceptional) people.
...and when I mean 'like that', I mean a person can be a homophobe or something and still be quite decent otherwise.
As long as they don't try to 'convert' you into believing what they think; it's probably okay to put up with some people that have the aforementioned, discriminatory views.
The reason that I said agnostic/atheist is because at the time I was still sort of agnostic but I was a bit more on the atheist side if that makes sense. Like, I didn't believe in a god or goddess but I was still open to the idea of some sort of higher power even if it wasn't a traditional deity. It's kind of hard to explain.
And I'll put up with intolerant people if I have to, but if I don't, I won't.
I don't know if Otherkin is included in the subcultures but I think that should be mentioned. No one takes it seriously, but I think it should because it's harming no one, it's their lives and who they are.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read in several places that Otherkin is actually derived from Native American spirit animals, and many Native American people find it offensive when non-natives claim to be otherkin. Again, I don't know if it's true, but probably be careful talking about it as it's a touchy subject for a lot of people.
Hmm, far as I know, it's basically Tumblr users who dress up in animal costumes or at least wear tails and feel that's who they are. I know that for definite, but I don't know where it came from so you could be right.
Upon researching it, I found this.
"The otherkin subculture grew out of the elven online communities of the early-to-mid-1990s."
There's no mention of Native Americans, or anything like that. Could you have mixed it up with something else?
I wonder if it did come from that, if it would have more respect but otherwise a lot of people ridicule it.
Thank you so much for including alternative subcultures. I don't think we get enough recognition. We're still so heavily misunderstood and there have been people killed for being goth, etc.
Other issues are being taken care of but there's still none for us.
I really like this post.
I'm so sorry. I never realized that the prejudice toward people in alternative subcultures was that bad. I've just heard a lot of ignorant remarks about people in alternative subcultures (mostly about goth people) and it just bothers me that people can't be more accepting.
Sophie Lancaster was killed for being goth.
I would also put "unfriend me if you think women wear make up for men" underneath the one about women being easy. Why do most men think we do things for them?
Peace.
I think that abortion is horrible,but that doesn't mean that I have to insult you for having a different opinion.Or Unfriend you.Or block you.I'll respect your opinions.
I thought there were only two genders. Does that mean polysexual people are bisexual?
@NoticeMeSenpai, no, there are more than two genders. There are some genders that are specific to cultures and others that just exist for people who don't identify within the gender binary.
Ok,Thanks.And I don't think that you are a horrible person.Opinions don't define a person.
It's awesome how you put yourself out there.
And I don't make a huge deal out the things you mentioned (at least, the ones whose definitions I understood), so I think I'm in the safe zone.
I feel like this is discriminatory when it comes to people who have different beliefs. You are asking people to unfriend you because they believe something different when you in turn, are supposedly supporting equality? I don't always agree with your ideas, and neither will everyone else, but I don't want to unfriend a great author such as you because we can't handle each other's ideas. It would be a shame. And I don't see any reason to unfriend you because of who you are.
You see, to me, "I don't see a reason to unfriend you because of who you are" makes no sense. I'm not discriminating, I just don't want to be friends with people who disrespect me or are generally disrespectful. It's not that I don't support equality, it's that I don't support hate and negativity. And who I am is who you're friending, so if you have a problem with who I am, unfriend. Plain and simple.
Also, when I say that I support equality, I meant that I support equal rights. Friending me is not a right.
Also, sorry for spamming you, but I didn't even say that I supported equality, therefore your accusations of hypocrisy are completely invalid and irrelevant.
Well I'm glad I'm not racist
And I'd like to hope that you're none of the other things as well.
Each and every person can believe whatever the heck they want. I agree with you and would never insult you on your identity. Be whoever you are and don't worry about the haters-- their "friendship" won't do anything good to you :)
