Pride Post!

[takeme2urpants]

[It's a beautiful day in Camp-the sun is shining (though there is shade for vampires), the birds are singing (but not taunting anyone), and there is a magnificent spread complete with all sorts of food (including human flesh for those so inclined). Above all this reads a huge banner:]
PRIDE!
Be proud of who you are!

What's going on here?

[runstowardsfire]

Someone told me it was a celebration of what made people unique. *has a witch pride bracelet*

[flowgotten]

A celebration? How is this any different from Camp putting signs over us?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . People seem happier about it. *looks over to where people are playing with glitter*

Some people, at least. It's about being proud of what we are.

[flowgotten]

I gathered as much from the giant rainbow sign.

[runstowardsfire]

I think it's also a celebration of being different too. And being proud of those differences.

[flowgotten]

Isn't that a part of being proud of yourself?

[runstowardsfire]

I think it's about being able to be open about it too. Someone told it that it wasn't always possible to be.

[flowgotten]

There's nothing wrong with being proud and accepting of who people are, I get that part. But this isn't just people choosing to celebrate themselves, it's Camp sticking tacky bracelets on people whether they like it or not. Putting it together with a celebration doesn't excuse it.

[runstowardsfire]

Camp does that a lot, I hear. I find that it helps not to get worked up over it.

[flowgotten]

That doesn't make it any less annoying or invasive.

[runstowardsfire]

Perhaps. Do you find this to be annoying and intrusive?

[flowgotten]

Didn't I just say that?

[runstowardsfire]

I shan't ask about your bracelets then.

[flowgotten]

Thanks.

[runstowardsfire]

Don't mention it.
