Welcome to Common Misconceptions (CM)!

This is a show where I will interview people of various backgrounds, religions, and beliefs (regardless of if we do or do not agree), and we'll debunk common misconceptions about them. This isn't for debating, it's simply a show about straightening out misunderstandings (or misconceptions, as the case may be).

Do you have a specific belief you'd like WTY to cover? Let me know the comments of this page, or in the comments of any of the CM posts.

I hope you enjoy debunking these common misconceptions with me and the guests! If you've got any questions, comments, or thoughts, as always you're welcome (and encouraged!) to give them in the comment section, here as well as on the individual posts when they come out.

Below I will post the archive for each episode as it comes out, dated and titled accordingly.

Gina Carano Gets Canceled - and Gets a New Partnership

Hey youth! I imagine you likely know about the Disney+ show, The Mandalorian . And if you do, you likely also know one of the star characters; Cara Dune. Cara Dune is the strong, independent, cliche-breaking, feminine, leading character that women want to see. She isn't the hourglass-practically-starved-and-very-sexualized body type, she is strong, broad, muscular, and beautiful. She is independent and she is also kind and supportive of others. She's tough without trying to be a man. She isn't cocky, arrogant, rude, and doesn't make the ridiculous "what, because I'm a woman?" or "ugh men" comments. And in general, she's just a really good character. I was thrilled when I saw her in The Mandalorian, and I was certain that for once everyone (feminists, Liberals, Conservatives, etc.) would be happy. I was sadly mistaken. I've been wanting to find a way to incorporate my love for this character and appreciation for the actress, Gina Ca...

Why I Stopped Going to Youth Group (and Why I Started WTY)

Welcome back to WTY! I mention the basics of why I started WTY in my Qs&As tab, but what I didn't go into was why I'm so passionate about this. And youth group has a very big part in that. For my non-Christian readers, you may be wondering "what's a youth group"? A youth group is basically all of the youth of a church (ages vary, but mine is 13-18 year olds) gathering on a day (mine is Sundays) and playing and hanging out at the church with a lesson from the youth pastor (a pastor who specializes in corralling teenagers, basically). The first part of this post is why I stopped going. The next half will be how it relates to WTY. The youth pastor was always changing My church went through three youth pastors throughout my time at youth group. Each time you got to know one, began to trust them, began to feel comfortable enough to be honest and open up like you're supposed to be able to do, they would leave and you'd have to restart the process. It was...

National Suicide Awareness Day (several days late)

*bolts in* *screeching tire sounds as I accidentally run past* *hurries back* HELLO! This post is a few day late. Why? Because I didn't know National Suicide Awareness Day was a thing until the 10th and normally I write posts well in advance of when it comes out. And then, as I was writing this on the 11th planning to post it that day, I realized it was 9/11 and wrote a different post in honor of it, then I wanted to make my post about Netflix's "Cuties" because it appalled me and I wanted to speak out about it while it was circulating. Needless to say, this got pushed back quite a bit. So, here's National Suicide Awareness Day Pt. 2. Wanna honor the day with me? Here's how you can do it: Share things Share and repost stuff that is offering encouragement to those who have lost someone to suicide, to those who are suicidal, and things that are honoring and remembering those who took their own lives. It's a pretty dark thing to talk about, and so not ...
