    astrology still isnt real tho

    also had some lesbians at our lgbt group refuse to talk to me because i was a capricorn or something. legit dont even know my sign, i thought they were just asking my birthday to be nice to me

    i was like 'bruh do we really need new reasons to discriminate against people'

      Yeah it's easy to take things like Astrology or MBTI or tarot cards or palm readings or whatever as just fun things but there's a pretty major issue when people take it seriously. Just like with religion, normal more passive believers are fine but so called Christian Scientists often literally abuse their children by refusing proper healthcare for them.

      Once it gets past just fun little games, these things can get dark really fast. A person who skips out on medicine for homeopathic remedies or "herbs", a person who discriminates or hurts someone because the tarot cards said they were bad luck, when grieving widows and parents are taken advantage of by "psychics", this shit becomes a really major issue.

      Pseudoscience when taken seriously legitimately hurts people.

      Lmao This is the chick version of a dude not talking to someone because they're a fan of another sports team.

          Are we sure they weren't teasing you? This has "daria trolling people" energy.

              Well yeah, of course. insecure people who passive aggressively bully others are annoying.

              Think of it as being more like a guy who constantly roasts other guys. There's a certain type of chick that tries to connect with other girls that way.

              Babe, that's 100% a "them" problem. Sounds like they're insecure and doing the sarcastic detached girl thing. If they're showing up to your parties, then they like you.

                ikr lmao. ive not really dated lesbians much because so many are really weird astrology people. add to that that im trans and the weird gold star clique transphobia and i just end up dating straight guys most the time :shrug-outta-hecks: though ive had some fun experiences with other women, just sad that im straight down the middle bi but reality doesnt turn out that way

                    cw

                    spoiler

                    legit first time i went to a gay bar i was groped nonconsensually by a lesbian and she grabbed my crotch and was like 'lol nope nvm' like jesus christ i hate some people. so i dont go to gay bars anymore, at least not without some strong ass mfer with me that will bash the shit out of people if they fuck with me

                    but yeah that happened to me like at least a dozen times at my lgbt groups. some girl comes on to me and then the weird astrology shit comes out then they get disinterested

                My fave meme ever is a banner of Kirby saying "yes I'm queer, yes I know nothing about astrology, we exist"

      I'm a triple Scorpio, so I'm super glad I'm not dating in this day and age.
