People do talk about sports - and that's fine! I don't hate sports or have a problem with people watching sports or talking about sports.
I've been pretty clear about what i have a problem with. It's when someone says "i don't watch sports" and that's a problem because it isnt considered the approved and acceptable answer to that question
"I don't watch sports" means you view not watching sports as part of your identity. The person you're talking to clearly enjoys sports, and you're stating that some core aspect of the way you think of yourself is just against sharing that with them. Generally when I talk to people I stay open to their hobbies even if I'm not into those hobbies at that time.
Absolute bonkers take coming from a 1 month old account is pinging my wrecker radar
I've been here since the "do you want to fuck the bunny cop" days but anyway there are other ways to say that, like "I haven't gotten into that sport yet, what's the deal" or literally any other phrase that doesn't murder the conversation on the spot
I've tried many times pretending to be something I'm not to get others to accept me, and it has never led anywhere good. It just makes me feel like an infiltrator while being miserable and hating myself. This is a lesson I have spend half of my life learning the hard way.
no, I wear a mask and all the orgs I'm with do as well
