one thing i’ve learned in life,
especially as a blogger:
Everyone will not agree with what I have to say/font.
I can’t entirely agree with what others say/font either.
That is perfectly fine.
brandon lee aka @brandeness is getting the dragging of his life.
a foxholer sent me the following while on my day off.
this is what he had to say about his choice to not date poz males…
“That I’m not poz friendly and proud of it.
I’m not poz friendly because…” = keep in drafts.
^thats it.
that’s the part that should have been omitted from the statement.
it sounds like he is throwing every poz person under the bus,
which isn’t fair.
this is still a reality:
Catching HIV is still a fear for many in every community.
…but we can’t look down on people because they have caught HIV.
there are many great folks with HIV that are living exceptional lives.
equally,
many are in relationships with neg folks as well.
just because someone is poz,
that doesn’t mean we will catch HIV by default.
there are many people we have been around,
or have fucked,
that have HIV and never disclosed that information to us.
Brandon may not agree with any of that and it’s his choice.
who gaf what he thinks?
is he a public figure or something?
bullying and calling him names def won’t change his opinion either.
you see that shit didn’t work for trump or joe rogan.
some folks will stand ten toes down in the fire.
we got more important shit to deal with than his dating preferences anyway.
lowkey: the way i see certain things is i’m grateful folks say this shit out loud.
there are many who pretend to fuck with us,
pretend to agree with us,
and have totally different opinions bts.
they just don’t want to be dragged.
I wouldn’t date someone who is positive either. The CDC did report that 50% of black men will end up HIV positive. So like always the hit dogs are hollering.
He’s also blocking any and everyone that dares criticize his ass about it. Come for him, he blocks you. His ass can’t take the heat! Poor thang! He asked for it! 🤣
Allegedly he is an infamous troll on an alt. 🤐
Jamari your title made me think he was poz and saying he won’t date poz men. I though this was one of those stupid situations like fat people not dating other fat people.
I agree with what you said about the “and proud of it.” Wasn’t needed. Too many people now always wanna add a dash of ignorant to an opinion, which always makes what they say sound worse than what it is. Also too much unnecessary detail. It would have been understandable if he doesn’t date poz men because he’s scared of catching it. Yes I know all the things we have now preventing it. Doesn’t stop paranoia. His comment reeks of just wanting to shake the table. I think that’s why people respond so harshly. Because we see right thru it. Like, who asked?
^ “Jamari your title made me think he was poz and saying he won’t date poz men. I though this was one of those stupid situations like fat people not dating other fat people.”
LMAO
those types are funnnnnnnnnnnny.
The importance of opinions coming from peons barely known rankles me very little.
Frankly, monkeypox is more fearful than HIV, in the current incarnation. It is more difficult to manage diabetes versus the one pill regimen for positive individuals. HIV should be decriminalized now that there are actual treatments which work. You can pass COVID on to a whole White House lawn gathering and nobody blinks. Or is outed, shamed or prosecuted. Brandon is pissing on a lot of gravestones as he willingly chooses to be provocative. What a shitty pity he is.
He is being honest, and I applaud him for that. However, if someone is honest enough to divulge their HIV status to you, I suspect they are taking good care of their health and are setting a good example for you to do the same. We are all responsible for our OWN HIV status. Sharing your status with a potential sex partner is a gift. The recipient should smile and say “thank you.”
Say it louder for the people in the back! So many people casually neglect their God given responsibility to protect themselves.
Certain things are what i call “Drinks with friends” talk . Things about trans issues , your type , sexual positions , etc . Is not a topic to throw out on social media, especially during today when it has super aggressive consequences .
That being said he’s of a certain age . I think everyone 29 and up remembers when HIV was a stigma . In fact, it scares me a bit to see people popping prep pills and doing the unthinkable with no regard for the other dozens of diseases you can contract . He doubled down on his ignorance bc he wants attention , but when he said “you all draw the line at HIV stigma but proudly voice your distaste for skin colors and body types” It made me pause because just last week people were being exposed for colorism and the same individuals mad at Branden’s ignorance were defending their right to have a color preference
^ “Certain things are what i call “Drinks with friends” talk . Things about trans issues , your type , sexual positions , etc . Is not a topic to throw out on social media, especially during today when it has super aggressive consequences .”
“drinks with friends” talk.
i like this lmao
i call it “kitchen table talk” after wendy w.
He has a youtube channel, he expresses these same sentiments there. At least he’s consistent with how he feels. Me personally, I wouldn’t mind dating someone who is poz, especially if they are undetectable. I knew they would come for brandens neck tho cause hes not very kind on his youtube channel.
^ oh he is an asshole?
okay,
well this dragging was in the drafts too LMAO
Also, if someone is taking their medication and living a fairly healthy life, the viral load is undetectable and the chance of them spreading HIV is really low. Combine that with a neg person on PreP and it’s perfectly possible for a neg and poz person to date, have unprotected sex, and never have to worry about transmission.
^ thank you germy for correcting all of us who maybe ignorant and needed to be educated.
quick,
someone sent this to brandon for his review!
