i cant believe i actually have to say this, but it's so fucking funny to me that people are attacking tommy for not knowing what conversion therapy is instead of, i don't know, focusing on the fact that he knows what it is now and he's trying to help/he educated himself? like holy shit, i'm so sick of people expecting cc's to know everything because they disregard the fact that; hey! people grow up in different environments, and hey, most people on the dream smp are cishet white men and they will grow up extremely fucking privileged/won't have the access to knowledge like that because they grew up privileged, but that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things; what matters is that they get out of that privileged mindset of ignorance and educate themselves, and that's really all that they can do. twitter has this funny little thing they do /s, where they focus on the fact that somebody was ignorant in the past rather than the fact that they're actually trying to educate themselves in the current time. it's needles negativity, there's no need to drag it out because you're just painting a negative image of this person in your mind when they're trying to educate themselves. people are getting after him because he didn't give enough resources, but you wouldn't have fucking. ten thousand resources about something you'd just found out about, and if you're so hung up about resources literally. look them up yourself. it's not that hard. google is free. stop getting after a kid for not knowing something and instead focus your energy on, i don't know, actually helping the real world problems that put many minorities in danger that are going on today? he's trying. putting cc's on pedestals and expecting them to know everything about everything/know how to handle everything is only gonna let you down in the long run because they're privileged cishet white men, and they're gonna be ignorant but the importance is that they're trying. and they are. so shut up. jesus.
