    I grew up Mormon but I didn’t agree with the sexism, racism, and homophobia/transphobia that was inherent and/or actively taught in the church.

    I was disowned by family, and my entire social network shunned me. There is no teaching in the mormon church to shun like that, but it scratches their cognitive dissonance to be around exmormons so they do it so they can feel good. From their perspective I was just an emissary of Satan so they feel good because they resisted Satan. I ended up being homeless for a bit.

    My family tried to get me to come back. They offered to let me come back home if I came back to church. But I never went back home or to the mormon church. Home doesn’t have strings attached and I couldn’t be part of such a hateful religion.

    I was subscribed for a year and canceled it a while ago. I liked the gamechanger shorts and VIP shorts enough to subscribe. Watching gamechanger was good but seemed like it kinda trailed off for me. VIP ended up being more enjoyable watching the shorts 90% of the time. I never got into the d20 stuff but tried. Just not for me. There were a few other things i tried but in the end nothing that had me coming back to it like gamechanger and i just didn’t want to keep a sub for that alone. Will probably wait for the full season to release and then sub a month.

    The d20 on the bus originated from one of the gamechanger episodes. Wont say more than that to avoid game changer spoilers but the gm/elf there was Katie Marovitch who is a regular dropout member
