@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i legitimately enjoy a lot of bad things

but when you look at them in that light, they actually aren't bad at all, and my painting them as "bad" just reinforces that i shouldn't have fun with the things i truly enjoy

it's a tough one though, because the reactions of other people towards the things you like can condition you, and make it easy to feel Very self-conscious

i really wish it was easier to unashamedly be into things, to not limit my enjoyment–especially with "bad" things
