Chapter 22 p21 – Cybele listens to the Savage Lovecast
Bennett (thinking): It’s going to be okay. I have a plan. Cybele helped!
Bennett (earlier): If just thinking about admitting to this is making me feel sick, doesn’t that prove doing it is a bad idea?
Cybele: It doesn’t have to, boss!
You’re afraid of the unknown, expecting the worst. But once it happens, it won’t be unknown — and maybe it’ll be the best!
It happens all the time in the memoirs and documentaries and podcast you had me listen to for research purposes. Lots of people will support you. The ones who’ve been through the same thing can help you. And you won’t have the stress of hiding it all the time anymore!
Of course, I ‘m only talking about the gay thing. If you come clean about having a Being, you’ll probably do jail time for causing massive property damage.
Bennett: Got it.
Stage manager (present): Live in fifteen seconds!
Has Bennett done episodes yet for this gig? Or is his first one will be the out of the closet announcement?
He’s been doing it for months now. Almost since he lost the election.
Please let this not end badly….
That’s like asking the sun not to rise at this point.
Hm. So will he be treated as Milo (Breitbart’s prominent gay Jewish star that Stephen Bannon adores) or Shepherd Smith, I wonder. (I think it’s Smith – one of the male anchors at Fox is gay, but I get them confused.)
Milo is Catholic. The misinformation about him being Jewish comes from the fact that one time he said the alt-right was just trolling and wasn’t really serious about the white nationalism stuff — so a bunch of white nationalists promptly demonstrated their seriousness by sending him death threats and anti-Semitic slurs.
Bennett’s politics may be a mess, but fortunately he’s not the kind of mess that goes anywhere near self-described neo-Nazis. So don’t worry, I’m not bringing any of that into BICP.
Not sure it’s misinformation. He claims to be a gay Jew in a recent interview.
I’ve removed the link in your comment. Why do you think I would let a white nationalist website get any hits from mine? If you link anyone like that here again, it’ll be whole comments getting deleted.
I don’t actually care what Milo’s latest story is. The point is that he says horrible things for attention, and surrounds himself with people who say horrible anti-Semitic things and insist that it’s not just for attention, and even my villain characters have the dignity to stay the hell away from that.
Cybele is so supportive. :3
