Radical Faerie Annoyances

My 2 roommates are RF's and also "healers" which is basically code word for being a whore. So I guess "healing" has a price. They're nice guys, but as someone who's mother is from India and a father from Mexico, I find it offensive that white men are co opting rituals they know nothing about and whitewashing it so they can light a candle and then go have an orgy with other "fae" folk with annoying yoga names. Am I the only person who finds that movement annoying?

by Anonymousreply 172April 12, 2021 8:39 PM

No, I find it rather endearing. The yoga stuff is made up and co-opted but Western Europe has a long and storied history with fae and elves.

by Anonymousreply 1June 8, 2016 1:57 PM

SJW's crying about "cultural appropriation" are much more annoying than the hipsters ineptly adopting bits of other people's cultures.

Why don't you stop appropriating white people's culture and technology and go back to a mud hut, OP?

A Mexican man wouldn't marry an East Indian woman. As beautiful as they are, and as kind and thoughtful as they are, Mexican men only go Mexican, Mexican-American, or white. Latino men almost never marry darker, and they certainly don't go for 'exotic' cultures.

So, nice try buddy.

One question for the above comment: ever heard of Salma Hayek, ya stupid fuck?

Yeah, I myself have had experiences with the Rad Fae movement and they *ARE* annoying as fuck. You are correct in how their being prostitutes is hilariously explained as “healers”. Many don’t work and bounce around from commune to commune, participating in many “heart circles” and going on about magic. As with most New Age assholes, they are annoying!

R10, I think R7 is stupid too but a) this thread is three years old and they probably won’t even see that you bumped it and b) Hayek’s dad is Lebanese, and her mom is Mexican so you aren’t refuting their assertion regardless.

They are not prostitutes. They are Sacred Intimates. And it is only right that they should be compensated for their work, n'est-ce pas?

It's one thing to be judgmental, OP, if one brings all of one's education, experience, and intelligence to the assessment. But to be ill-informed and judgmental... now, that's annoying. That's the essence of Trumpism. And the essence of you, too, it seems. White men have been involved in nature and Earth based spirituality for thousands of years. Wicca. Celtic Druids. Etc., etc. The Radical Faeries are just part of a line of tradition stretching throughout history.

Just because someone thinks it’s utter bullshit and calls out someone for cultural appropriation, doesn’t mean it’s the essence of Trumpism. Not everyone cares about your crunchy way of life. And “sacred intimates”? Yeah. Sacred. Nothing says sacred like taking PayPal.

OMG yes! They’re very very affectionate and playful. But I’m not into the whole “woo” and Goddess crap. Most of them are really nice, but I’ve met several who were very mentally ill. The same issues affecting the gay community are affecting them too, the older faeries annoyed by the new trendy wokeness and acceptance of all, the younger folks embracing their trans faerie’s identities and fighting alongside for acceptance. It’s a fraternity almost. But harmless.

by Anonymousreply 43March 11, 2019 7:34 AM

Mental illness. Yes. Lots of emotional immaturity, too.

None of the Faeries that I've known ever did very well with rules because rules demand something of you. And they find rules just too confining. These guys live totally in the moment for the now. Being a Radical Faerie gives them license to abandon every norm, even bathing, and embrace every fleeting desire.

But they are not out starting wars. They do not campaign to take away the people's human rights.

*sobbing* omfg no to all of this. Whose history? What 'line'? Spirituality from where? I can't believe I just read any of this.

'Celts' is a made-up catch-all to describe no-one and historians mostly concur a group by that name never existed. Historians do mostly agree however that the Druids of the British Isles were dumbfuck MRA cultural gatekeepers of the worst kind as well as nasty POS witch-killing torturers who gave not one fuck about 'the Earth'. Wicca is another story being nu-Age commercialised American shit reworked from esoteric Saxon grimoire and having nothing to do with the natural ancient world or the locus Gods of Europe. Radical Faeries are too young to even have a tradition and seem to be mere LARPing hippies.

Long story short, she showed up to this soupluck, barefoot and B.O. a-blazin, with “all the fixin’s” for her “special salsa”....well, she commandeered this fabulous new kitchen, blew up the blender and got tomahtoeee ALL OVER THE WALLS!!! I’ve never laughed harder in my entire life!!

...I know one conniving cunt of a RF, who went trotting off to a weekend drum circle (orgy) in the woods. His partners mother died...and he called (pre-cell phones) the ONLY number he had (some farmhouse in bumfuck Vermont) and the person who answered was like “Um, gee, I dunno if I can disrupt the circle, let me check.... My friend was DISTRAUGHT, his MOTHER just died, and this strung out piece of shit Faerie didn’t want to get his Partner for him, lest he disrupt the “Majik”.... I told my friend that would be a dealbreaker for me. SORRY.

R126. So true...they are ALWAYS “couchsurfing” or looking for ways to “barter” their USELESS “talents” for meals, makeup, etc. And whoever said they attract the mentally ill Is 100% spot on. The few I knew (thru a friend) were TOTAL grifters, you know, They do “energy work” and “spiritual healing”....fucking losers

I find them to be the biggest jokes of the community. They remind me of the Cockettes, in the sense of the whole communal thing. Except the Cockettes were and are amusing. Here in Portland, there are several “houses” all over the city of various faeries and their neverending potlucks. One can’t keep up with their name changes, and if you’re attracted to cis men only, the you have offended the (younger people’s) sensibilities of inclusion, because God forbid you can’t control your sexual preferences. Yes, showering is optional. There is always a faerie or two who is literally traveling all over the USA, grifting from house to house and getting rides from others to get to their destination, bartering with sex work, “energy healing” or whatever excuse gets them to their destination. They don’t have monogamous relationships at all, because that one person they’ve met for 3 minutes (like a bath house hookup) could be “the one” to give them an “exchange of powerful energy” and whatever STD’s they’re carrying. So yeah, like most typical men, they think with their dicks and basically only care about getting off and then waxing poetically about all the Goddess energy that transpired. Many of them yes, as has been mentioned above, are mentally ill people who are off their medications (or undiagnosed) and need serious help (by human standards. According to the faeries these “special spirits” just need a hug and a bran muffin). Lots of them have addiction issues (heroin or meth) and it seems like their fellow faeries remain neutral on actually getting people the help they need.

I think the original source of how they began with activist Hardy Hay at the realm, I believe it was a purer movement back then. He wanted it to be a men’s only space. Period. It was a place where the femme gay men could be themselves. Then in the last 20 years, it began to change and the infighting began as women and FTM men started to demand to be recognized and included. Separate events and gatherings (from what I have read and heard) had to be created to satiate these entitled people that barged into a movement. Still to this day, the fighting continues.

Personally, I find the entire movement now in 2020 to be an absolute joke.

R140 The Radical Faeries weren’t founded until 1979 by Gay activist Harry Hay. The man above in the photo was known as Hibiscus (George Edgerly Harris III) founded the Cockettes in San Francisco in 1969. The Cockettes were male and female and gender-bending as performance artists and all around crazy. The Radical Faeries sought a cis-gender mens only space, which it was for a very long time until the last several years.

The Cockettes have a great documentary out about them as well.

OP trust your intuition on this. Don’t let anyone trick you into anything that feels off in the slightest way. The healers don’t seem to want to heal but want to get laid. faeries and elves have been part of European ancestral history from before christianity. There’s that which doesn’t have to do with sex. Sex can be something sacred/spiritual but that’s between souls with a strong connection and it will feel healing. Go with your guts OP. An orgy is just an orgy.

It’s a movement that started for gay men on the fringes of our “community”, but has instead as of 2020 been overrun by a bunch of mentally ill men, trans men, and women who have turned these spiritual retreats into some sort of primal scream therapy community. I have yet to meet a single stable one here in Portland, who wasn’t a fucking hot mess.

R167 No, I’m sure it’s a “spiritual” thing. I’ve known a few who were quite responsible, but this movement sure collects a lot of “touched” people. The “healers” part is hilarious, as OP is correct as this is what those who are sex workers call themselves. Potlucks, body odor, orgies, and cosmodrama are the backbone of these folks.

The ones of I’ve met, all seem to have shades of mental illness and addiction. Case in point:

A friend of mine in Portland had one living in his building, a drug and alcohol free community for people with HIV. Sure enough, the fat fuck (named Grace/Kevin) was arrested for delivery of opiates of some sort in that very building, major production involving a lot of police. Nice huh? Guess my friend had spent a couple days years before, helping this obese junkie not only get into treatment but also transitional housing before he moved into that community. Apparently when the dude wasn’t stinking up the building with his rancid crotch and body odor, there were always sketchy people coming and going all hours day and night. He impacted the sobriety or a few people in the building, causing them to relapse and he thankfully was kicked out. Pal is extremely angry that he wasted the time helping someone in need, and heroinwhale couldn’t be bothered to even apologize and simply say “Sorry, I fucked up.” Not a word. So, if in Portland and you meet a fat junkie faerie “faerie”named Grace, I’m sure she has the holding.

My own personal experiences is that none of them can hold down a job. Actually, I take that back. I’ve met several in the movement who have college degrees and a good and steady source of income. I’m sure these types are only in it for the hedonism and sex with the “traveling” vagabond types, fulfilling their hippie He-man fantasy when visiting Wolf Creek sanctuary. These types tend to be awesome people to know. But as with every movement, there are the junkie/headcase/lack of stable housing types, and as long as they’re decent enough looking won’t be helped, but used as a spiritual fuck toy. The movement is a joke now. They can’t even agree on trans men and non-binary people as being part of the movement which is very interesting considering plenty of them love to cross dress and be known as “she”. As usual, a bunch of co-opting of cultures, white dudes. Faking to be woke.
