“Whatever Hurts Is True”/Truth Hurts and Other Harsh-Truthisms That Are Blatantly False
I’ve noticed in my time on earth
That the harsh-truths
The “truth hurts” camp
The
“Whatever hurts is true”
Masochistic redditors say
The 9 year old
Blonde girl on the bus who’s dad
Is a rich nazi—
These people
Desperately need this to be true.
They need
Painful truths to be real
More than any of the rest of us
Reasonable, non-masochist normies.
It’s highly erotic
To insist
That anything that hurts is
Truthful, inherently.
Much like gender roles I dislike it
When other people spread their fetishes
Into all of life’s great mystery.
“All that glitters is gold”
Might as well be
“Truth hurts”
Fools gold is absolutely a thing
And liars, masochists, and reductionist
Simplistic takes
On other people’s experiences
Are absolutely a thing.
Truth hurts folks are also
The same sort of folk
That see polygraphs
As evidence— they are not!
They are an interrogative technique
Used to check for inconsistencies in a story.
An idiot, would say
“They got excited during this part—
That means they’re lying”
No— it means
Their heart rate was elevated
During that question.
Loads of things can cause that, such as
Being insulted, gaslit, threatened or worse
Nobody cares about
The truth—
They just care about
The hurt.
I’m sick of these
Fatphobic
Reductionist
Knee-jerk masochistic idiots
Getting off on reducing
All of trans perspective into
Fatphobic philosophical bullshit
I think the truth hurts
The harsh truthers the most —
Considering that
Those folks are lying
9/10 times, or
At the very least
Emotionally manipulating you
And calling it proof
Of their superiority.
