I'm not sure if I've ever played a bullet hell game. Does Ikaruga count as one?

All we got in my family are a couple of drug dealers, and baseheads. That's pretty insane right there.

Swap around some family members and this is my family in a nutshell. Granted my parents are not as crazy as my extended family but they are looked down upon as a result.

I find it funny how everyone reacts like this when there's way, way, way more. Some on the level or even worse than the Hitler comment. I'm just refraining from posting them here because thinking back to those times isn't healthy for my own psyche.
I don't know how I got out of those times in one piece. I probably didn't come out of it without scars, but I guess turning into a distant person helped a lot. I definitely got into a lot of arguments about pretty much everything and I even changed their minds on certain subjects, but after a while you just give up. I got tired.

I'm really glad the younger people in my family (and my mother's side of the family) are fantastic people.

Geez you guys. I can't imagine how much that would have been terrible on a semi-daily basis or whatever. I think I would've gone insane.

It's good to hear you have good people in your family too, Mara.

It's a cat carrying a corpse bag so it can dispose of its victim.

Well, I guess that's adorable in its own way.

Cutting large swaths of your family completely out of your life is a valid action. Lotta people say "but they're family!" but honestly family bonds means shit, it's about whether they're good people and forging bonds though that, not about familial ties.

They eventually realized that every time they'd say shit like that, we'd get into an argument, so they just avoided speaking of such things around me after a while.
And thank you.

You're right, though I don't even know whether I want to cut them out of my life. Some of the shit they say is inexcusable and disgusting, but I don't hate them. They still love me and took care of me.

I guess the worst thing in my family is that my Grandad used to be a terrorist.

I know that feeling. I have family I'd wish to do the same to, but my dad keeps pushing those blood ties on us.

Ruh-roh.

I'd like to know what possess people to join a group in which you are maligned and are treated like a social pariah.

Also, the FBI tracks you every movement as a terrorist group.

Because they're horrible racist mountain people and everyone in their horrible racist mountain town is also in the KKK.

The KKK's goal as a whole is stupid as fuck. They want to live as fucking LCL. Who wants to live among white blobs??

Maragidyne said:
Yeah. It's more a case of me despising their stances on a lot of subjects and not actually despising them (my mother is a lot more normal, though she is easily influenced by her religion in some regards). It's the result of their own upbringing and they've been through a lot of shit as well. They talk a lot of shit, yet they still try to be good people to everyone. Especially me. I feel like a shit for not severing ties completely as the result of their terrible stances on these subjects, but I just can't do it.

I echo the sentiment "We can't choose our family". Glad they aren't wholly terrible people.

The bigger question is: are they expressing these opinions at the polls?

I could PM it to you if you really want to know.

We're talking about family now?
I'd like to add something to this, but not here in public, but I trust you guys, so if someone wants to know, just tell me and I will PM you.
In addition to bad parenting and hitting me with the belt of course.

Facebook I have for family and some internet friends but mainly ones I've known for years. There's just a handful of people who are pretty ignorant sometimes, but nothing I want to bash my head in for.

Twitter is my favorite because NONE of my family uses it and I can just be me. I only have one friend on it who I sometimes question following on it though.

My dad always pesters me to add family to my Facebook. He's legit disappointed that my siblings and I don't do that. No way in hell am I opening that Pandora's Box.

I've been belted, but in my dad's defense, it was for things where I REALLY fucked up.

MY dad got a lot worse when he was a kid.

Ah man, I love MMO's. Just beat the final raid of FF14's current game and it felt great. Progressing and finally completing it with my guild mates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKHE3oYAAho <- Video for anyone that has any interest in FF14. Big spoilahs though! Sorry about the game sound as well. No idea how it got so fucked up cause it's the same way I usually stream.

I really should get back to that now. Played the first hour or so and it's just like playing the show. Such a well made game that's true to the show.

Talking about family, the only person we completely shut out is my great uncle. The reason for that is because he is a New Age Nazi. I don't even know his name and that's how cut off he is from the family. My family only makes references to him as a joke most of the time. Besides that one person my family is pretty decent.

I was raised by the belt. As time went on, and I grew up, my parents started to force me to learn from my mistakes.

I preferred the belt. The agonizing feeling that you disappointed your family is too much for me.

If you haven't been noticing, I'm posting a shit ton here because I'm waiting for my last final in 3 hours.

So here's something from my twitter feed relevant to this thread's interests.

If my family knew the kind of person I really was I'm certain I would have been on the street if not worse years ago.

Secrets are the best!
