conversations i thought i was going to have to have:

  • "why are you vegan?"

conversations i actually ended up having:

  • "why are trans people so intolerant. they cancelled jk rowling just because she didn't want men in the women's toilets."
  • "liberals tearing down statues is erasing history"
  • "it's political correctness gone mad"
  • "cancel culture is destroying society"
  • "there's no such thing as gender neutral. there's only men and women."
  • "why are you trying to make it illegal for kids to call their parents 'mum' and 'dad'"
  • "in my day it was called a 'blackboard'. now we have to call it a 'chalkboard'. what about the whiteboard huh? isn't that racist?"
  • "do you really want to erase all these great historic achievements just because those people had slaves. they didn't know any better."
  • "just because someone says transphobic things, doesn't mean they're a transphobe."
  • "both sides"

“sure, hitler was a bad person, but we shouldn’t erase his art because it is a memory that we can learn from. if you destroy his paintings, that is erasure and that makes you the real nazi.”

This one is funny, the rest was depressing. I hope the food, at least, was nice.
