Like really...I've been taking half a year of deep breaths.  I have become a sullen lurker.

In case you hadn't noticed, I am a rampaging liberal.  This year has been...disappointing to say the least.  I was really hoping humans were starting to outgrow their respective bigotries.  Heh.  Nope.  Time for a good plague.

Artistically, the other side of this was I agreed to co-write with a person who I thought I understood, and who I thought understood and respected my writing.  I was wrong.  Though the course of this team up I found out my writing is so poorly done that this person completely missed: the importance of about 1/2 of my characters, the priorities of the rest, and really anything about how my universe works.   It was so blatantly obvious that said person had very little regard or understanding of my storyline...to the point I had to ask why she even wanted a crossover in the first place. 

I know that I am not the strongest writer...no matter how hard I try, but given that this person credits my story with starting her own expansive writings I had hoped that it was of some value to at least one person outside of myself and MGM. I was quite wrong.

It was...degrading... to put it mildly.  I doubt I'll write again to be honest.

 Then I found out that this person is a religious bigot.  Totally thinks all Muslims are guilty of some horrible act of terror and so on.  Due process is only for Christians and all.

As a Jewish person, all I hear is great shades of Hitler.  It is unbelievable to me that I was friends with this person for so long.  I feel...stupid..and unclean.  I also feel that neither my art, my writing, or my actions have been clear enough as to who I am and what my art is about, because she was seriously surprised that I want nothing more to do with her.

So let's clear this up.  I am not trying to start a political controversy here.  DA is supposed to be my happy place.  Just clarifying my message.

If you think justice is only for white Americans of Christian persuasion we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you have any problem whatsoever with how the LGBTQ community lives their lives we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think African Americans have nothing to complain about with how often they get shot for no damned reason we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think all women who accuse men of sexual assault have some sneaky agenda we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think it is unfair to demand businesses and corporations to clean up their own fucking messes we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think the huge of majority of climate scientists made up climate change for some dumb reason we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.  Actually if you put anything at all ahead of actual science we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think tax cuts for the 1% are somehow more important than meals for seniors or kids...or even animals...we are not friends.  GTFO my watch list.

If you think lying that fame let's you grab women by the privates with impunity and teaching a younger man that that's a measure of status and coolness is somehow better than actually doing it yourself (and I totally believe this guy didn't just grab women, but raped a 13 yr old girl...read upon it) and voted for the Orange Diarrhea Dirigible ANYWAY we are not friends.  GTFO my planet please.

There's more...but that should clear most things up.

 I am not looking to debate this stuff.  Honestly if you think there is something to debate at all here I have nothing to say to you.  I am quite looking forward to seeing a drop in the number of watchers I have.  Please let me know if I should un-watch you in return.  Oh...and in case you were wondering if I ever do shit like this in real life the answer is a resounding HELL YES!  I am a very patient and forgiving person and I look for my own mistakes first, but there are lines you don't cross with me.

Cheers.

Have I ever told you I love you?  These last 10 months have been utterly depressing for me with the political outcome.  Its hard to watch the news anymore, I just end up getting enraged by all the hatred in our country.  I won't make a novel long rant, but your journal made me smile knowing there are more people out there who have the same mindset as me :)
