    never take the internet as a reference, I went to Thailand last year and did not see anything weird.

    internet reality is not real life reality.

    if narrow minded people judge you for something you didn’t do just because of some generalised idea, then maybe is better not to be friends with those people. I’ve travelled alone and not alone to many places, and none of my friends ever thought ill of me.

    Whatever the internet kids think I really don’t give a shit, as you shouldn’t either.

    Man, I really hate gatekeeping.

        “Sharing wisdom” is something everyone online always thinks they’re doing but they’re really just “judging” and “talking out of their ass.”

          I lived in the deep south for a few years and had my full of shared wisdom.

      Fully agree. I’m taking a trip to Russia soon. It’s my families motherland, such a beautiful country with a rich history. People keep calling me a spy, and it’s hurtful, especially when they pull out their identification. – Jokes aside I really do agree. Internet culture has come up with some of the greatest, and dumbest, collectivist thoughts and this meme is a great example of the latter.

      Edit: Keep up friends. “Motherland” “Russian” “Spy” “Identification” “Jokes aside”

          I’m quite positive going to Russia would be dangerous for me regardless of my ethnicity or background 😄. They really do have some neat brutalist art and architecture, but I can see that from the safety of my couch with Bald & Bankrupt.

        Fuck that, Russia doesn’t deserve a cent of tourism money. Would you have gone to Germany in 1939 if it was your families homeland?

          I’m a Russian spy, and the FBI agent is pulling out their identification when questioning me.
