I Want to Say This

ok. so. when ep closed its doors i migrated to vent since i knew a few others had done the same. and i needed an outlet for my um sense of humour. so. i started to scroll the vents looking for things to inspire me to say something random and pointless and amusing. because that's what i do. and i started to read these vents. and i started to browse the profiles, because i was curious about the authors of these vents. after a while it began to dawn on me that almost every kid there is identifying as transgendered. if you use or have used vent in the recent past you are probably aware of this already. below their genders and sexualities they also have extensive lists of mental illnesses and disorders they are supposedly suffering from, but that is another story for another day. there are so many different labels describing genders and sexualities now that i had to google "list of genders and sexualities" to study them for myself. i am not exactly ignorant of the whole lgbt thing. at least, that is what i thought until i used vent for a few days. i lost count of the number of times i was called transphobic for daring to mention this. (i was ultimately banned for making a joke about category 5 kaijus attacking syria. no sense of humour at all these kids. i have the screenshot if you want to see it.) anyway. it started to grate on me that all these kids were identifying as trans when common sense dictates that it is highly unlikely that so many of them really are. it has become a trend now to be transgendered. it is now cool to bash cis people. they actually want you to be cis so they have an excuse to be offended and attack you. (if this seems hard to believe, dl the vent app and mooch around a bit. it is only a small app and doesn't take up much space on a phone.) these kids think they are standing up for something and advancing a cause when the reality is, with their hundred different labels and their desire, no, their right to be offended by everything you say, they are merely adding to the confusion that they are all so offended by in cis people, not making it easier to understand. they mix and match their genders and sexualities more often than their socks, and in doing so they are making a mockery of the people who actually did suffer gender dysphoria. there must be real gender-confused kids out there now who have no idea what they are because the list of defintions is longer than their attention span. anyway, this was on my mind and i had nowhere to get rid of it except here. and i like writing. do whatever you like with this information, i am done with it. i got 99 genders and a cis ain't one.

I wish I can heart this posy a hundred times over!

I have had a similar experience with vent a few years ago. When I had an account I noticed that he audience was mainly teenagers which I didn't like that much because I had no one around my age to talk too. I also noticed that it was just teenagers bitchin about how they don't want to do their homework and how proud of themselves of being gay or bi or posting horny stuff. Like you said about the sexualities and gender identity thing I did see a handful of teenagers identifying as asexual, non-bindary, and etc. I didn't like vent I felt like it was toxic and that's why I never downloaded the app again.

Now from your story vent sounds like a second tumblr that's why I never recommended it to people and if you read some of the reviews people well actually saw themselves that the app isn't safe and that the mods aren't doing much about some vent. I remember one young girl posted that she was going to committ suicide! All the vent team did was removed the post. I always thought this identifying as transgender and other sexualities is a thing today.

Sorry that this comment is long! I wanted to say something.
