Hey, Assbutt

rb to have a very gay 2022

Mine and other’s genuine relief and excitement at the gavle goat burning due to the observation that the previous streak of it not burning lasted through some very tough years is proof of how quickly and organically religious rituals can arise, in this essay I will…

wHERES THE ESSAY OP??

Ask and ye shall receive:

Humans have always desperately searched for patterns in things. Our brain is so programed to find patterns that we are all just pigeons in Skinner’s box.  Finding patterns such as “those clouds indicate a storm” and “everyone who ate that mushroom died” was, and is, important to our survival as a species. Figuring out new patterns has allowed us to predict outcomes and better ourselves to the point that we’ll try to find them when they’re not really there. We find patterns where they do not exist with enough frequency that phenomenon has a name, Apophrenia.

Humans also have a tendency to teach other humans, particularly the young, with operant conditioning. Reaching out to touch a fire will get you yelled at as someone snatches your hand away. Working hard will get you praised. Being kind to others gets you kindness in turn. 

When you combine these two phenomena it’s easy to see why the concept of sacrificing things to gods and spirits would arise. You build a giant goat made of straw towards the end of the year and some fool burns it. However, you notice the next year is a good year. When you build it again and it isn’t burnt the following year is hard. It would be natural to come to the conclusion that the burning of the goat causes the year to be good. But why? Well, you must be being punished for the lack of the burning when it does not occur. In order to avoid this punishment you must burn the goat. 

If you are burning the goat you might as well gather around it with your people and enjoy the catharsis and reassurance it offers. Winter is a hard time and gathering for the purpose of ensuring a good year is something everyone can get behind. Plus, if everyone is coming you might as well bring food to celebrate.

Congratulations, you’ve made a religious winter festival.

PEACE LOVE UNITY RESPECT: THE RAVER’S CODE

*thinks about the plur lifestyle*

One time a friend told me that if she wanted to have a chill night she would come to me and ask for tea and a book to read. I didn’t like tea at the time, but I always made sure my cupboards had them in case she needed a quiet night. One time I told my boss that I loved oranges, but couldn’t peel them because of my nails. For a year he made sure to peel me one at least once a week. Once my friends gave me a made up superlative of “most likely to have a pen they could borrow” and ever since I’ve made sure I always carry a pen with me. A long time ago, my high school librarian told me that no one would care what my grade in my sophomore chemistry class was if I’m bringing them doughnuts and asking them about their day.

Sometimes friendship is about carrying pens and peeling oranges. But the point is, surrounding yourself with people who you want to do the little things for. The point of it all is bringing in the doughnuts because you’ve found the people who deserve the doughnuts.

And I’m so fucking lucky, and I don’t always say it or even think it. Because I have friends who send me letters and who told me when the cafeteria at work had chopped tomatoes and who want to watch Scream with me and it just hits me sometimes that this world can do the ugliest things to people, but as long as I still have a friend who will point out dogs on the sidewalks to me then I have something amazing to live for. And as long as I have pals who I want to make peppermint bark for, then I have a reason to keep pushing this world to be better.

And that’s not so bad, right? Except here’s what he’s actually saying under that ramble: “Love can mean anything and it doesn’t matter what kind, I am mostly trying to emphasize in a way that sounds kind of like I’m not an asshole that there’s NOTHING TO SEE HERE AND NOBODY’S GAY not that there’s anything wrong with that just as long as you’re all SUPER clear on the fact that our show is not gay.”

And just. Thank you so much rich cishet white man who has no idea what it’s like to grow up as a queer kid devoid of support or representation, you have somehow exactly missed the point while also voicing the single most lackluster expression of support possible IN A HIGHJACKED answer where it sure looked like before you stepped in Jensen was going to really acknowledge that Cas was actually IN LOVE WITH Dean that way and maybe give us a sense of what that realization was like for Dean. But no. No, Mr. White Bread McTexan had to go on a conversational walkabout and just Jesus Christing fuck my dude please just stop talking for the love of God and all his gay little angels just please.
