This is a rare example of the leopard eating its own face!

It’s not a “rare example”, it’s the whole point of the leopard-eating-face thing. People support a political party and then react with shock when the party carries through with its promises in a way that hurts them.

It’s not news when someone votes for the leopard and then sits back smugly while the leopard eats the faces of other people.

The blog reported that Copeland, a Republican, confirmed that the accounts were run by him, saying they were a “hobby” he used for “getting rid of stress.” 1819 News reported that Copeland asked them to not out him, but they did so anyway, even though it does not appear he had taken any public positions against LGBTQ issues that could be construed as hypocritical.

Being GOP and anywhere on the LGBTQIA spectrum is inherently hypocritical.

'Ol Bubba knew the wolves would turn on him.

But anyway, what is with this. Is it that this secretive cross-dressing thing seems correlated with repressed sexual desires or what?

JCS covered that one Canadian colonel serial killer who would cross-dress, sneaking into women’s homes.

Then I just watched this 48 Hours case about a dad who killed his son after they found pictures of him cross-dressing and literally eating his own shit.

Wtf?

People tend to sexualize the taboo. In a society where gender is seen as set in stone and comes with a bunch of stupid bullshit like what clothes it’s socially acceptable to wear some people will sexualize violating the taboos

Hate is a strong emotion. Hatefucking is a real thing. I’m sure Pornhub has data showing an increase of searches for Middle Eastern people after 9/11.

Alright, not gonna lie that last one threw me for a loop.

Pretty sure it was the last part that caused him to do that, I think the gap between crossdressing and scatophagy (is that a word yet?) is pretty far.
