yknow what, im gonna get on my soapbox for a second
ray toro would have been considered a guitar legend if mcr wasnt written off as a shitty emo band, he would have been known as one of the best guitar players of our time if mcr had been percieved as idk, a classic rock band. im pissed over the fact that he doesnt get the respect he deserves and im sick of people writing him off as lousy bc they cant get over the fact that hes an amazing guitarist and mcr was a good band
the range of styles that ray toro not only plays well, but easily transition to and from is absolutely amazing, which comes from years of hard work and should be acknowledged as such. the guitar solo in any mcr song slaps across the board bc ray knows how to write a song and execute the solos well and the dismissal of him is absolutely criminal. the fact that he has played with brian may and held his own is stupendous. i know im not getting my point across bc i cant type what im trying to say but honestly, raymond toro deserved way better than what he was given
@kilbaro seriously! like my good dude I’ve been working full time doing physical work while taking 8 years to complete undergrad and still just barely squeak by financially specifically /because/ of the ways homophobia profoundly and intimately affects my life and opportunities, and you want me to reassure you over comparatively minor hurt feelings?
I'm not saying that straight men are oppressed or anything but I've sometimes seen posts that seriously argue that straight men aren't capable of love and I worry they might be right. Like, am I not capable of love? Sometimes I wonder.
ok but again my point here is that gay people who make posts on the internet for themselves are not an everpresent culture-wide force that you couldn’t escape from by just taking a break from the parts of the internet where you see these posts.
I sympathize with the phenomenon of seeing people online say things that make you feel bad about yourself bc of your sexuality. but unlike me you get to literally just close tumblr/twitter and not have to deal with it, while I couldn’t do that unless I became a hermit on another planet.
the hatred straight people have for people like me is so pervasive it affects literally every aspect of our lives. my quality of life would be so much higher on a material level if homophobia wasn’t an inescapable facet of our culture.
so like I get it but frankly idk why it’s so important to you that I reassure you when you could literally just say to yourself “well I think that I /am/ capable of love and that’s that!” and log off and go do something you enjoy
if I have any advice for you it’s literally just form your own opinions on yourself you don’t need me or other people to do that for you
