If someone is coming out to you/telling you about their sexuality, match their energy.
If they’re not making it a big deal, you shouldn’t either.
If they’re really nervous or emotional, respond with compassion.
If they’re excited, be excited with them.
I’ve seen a lot of things that seem to imply that it’s always best to be really super amped about someone coming out, but that kind of energy can be embarrassing or uncomfortable if the person doesn’t feel the same way.
On the flip side, if you respond with indifference, you might think you’re being s good friend by not caring whether they’re gay or straight or whatevs, but that can be extremely invalidating if this is a monumental or exciting moment for the person.
This is totally my Dumb Thought and don’t quote me on this but it would be cool if we stopped calling casts “diverse” and more just called them like. Realistic. All white casts are DEF uninclusive but they are also deeply unrealistic.
Multiple customers at my old job commented on how “diverse” my workplace is like no offense but that’s just how workplaces look when white applicants aren’t automatically more heavily valued
Finally finished Chapter Two: Part two of Kimi ga Shine or Your Turn to die, and I gotta say…i really love the game. The story is so good, and I haven’t been this emotionally attached to characters in ages.
