White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    Counterpoint: if people feel like they can’t talk about these things then they’ll never talk about them and the condition often worsens.

    I also feel pretty powerless to help in a meaningful way. But I’m not going to shun someone who’s struggling either

      Adding on to your feeling like they can’t talk being bad, sometimes places like these are the only places someone feels like they have. They’re fairly anonymous, it can be easily deleted, there’s low risk of someone in your personal life finding out.

      It’s a chance to scream into the void, while still feeling seen.
