DL Fave Matthew Dempsey: COVID Apologist!

[quote]I disagree wholeheartedly. People breaking with recommendations and requirements are not acting out of fear or exhaustion. The don’t give two shits about the collective health and well-being of the country and no other perspective is needed. Their actions should be called out and any public shaming is 100 percent warranted.

[quote]Totally disagree with this view. We are ALL fearful, tired, angry, and sometimes hopeless, but in no way does that give me the right to travel and party during a pandemic. These people are repeatedly ignoring important healthy guidelines and professionals and risking other’s lives for the sake of partying. It’s sick and embarrassing. No sympathy at all

[quote]Sure but I don’t get this. You’re saying “don’t judge?” We have NO beds in our ICUs. Doctors begged us not to travel. It’s called sacrifice. I’d LOVE to be on vacation right but I listened because our city is ravaged. My grandpa escaped the Holocaust in Austria then fought in D-Day on 4th wave for USA speaking no English. Draft for Vietnam. THAT was sacrifice. We are being asked to stay close to home and wear masks! How did we become so selfish? At very least, are these folks going to quarantine?? Our essential workers and healthcare providers deserve that.

Matthew's flippant response doesn't go over any better.

[quote]I once again have to respectfully disagree. The people who continue to recklessly ignore lockdown and quarantine protocols have been doing so all year. Reaching out with science did not work at the beginning of the pandemic. Offering empathy did not stop them during summer pride parties. Or July 4th. Labor Day. Halloween. thanksgiving. Christmas and other holidays. And now New Years. they are repeat offenders who have ignored every effort to get them to realize the damage they are inflicting on themselves and, more importantly, on others. They have ignored our respectful appeals to change their behavior and we are no longer tolerating it.

[quote]Your post read as ‘apologist’ for their behavior and reeks of privilege. People partying in PV and Brazil because they can’t miss the white party is so fucking selfish.

[quote]I am still so confused by what you’re trying to achieve. You are literally living in a state of emergency and I think the time for empathy for these people has passed. Even if we understand why they’re doing it (selfishness) then what exactly should we do to stop it. Trying to “understand” why they’re doing it is not going to achieve anything except cause more death and destruction. Perhaps we should be be more empathetic to the millions of Americans who are out of work (and will continue to be so the longer this drags on), and who certainly can’t afford international travel. Trying to see the world from these idiots’ perspective achieves absolutely nothing. By calling them out, maybe a few of them might engage their remaining brain cells and realise that what they’re doing is disgraceful.

[quote]“Toxic Positivity” refers to the misuse of positive thinking to avoid emotional discomfort. It’s a tendency to be aware of because we want to allow positive thinking to marry and help manage our uncomfortable emotion while we still process through it, not avoid it. That said, I hate the name “toxic positivity” because I think it confuses people to think you can be “too” positive and you can’t. Positivity in it’s most absolute form inherently accepts everything, experience AND feeling as good. So let’s frame shitty situations as an opportunity for growth and the emotional discomfort as the necessary feeling of getting stronger. And if you’re overusing positive thinking to avoid feeling, then that’s not positivity at all. It’s emotional avoidance. 🤍

I hate mindless babble like this. "No strings attached"? What if the person in front of you that you're being "open" with is off their meds, and pulls out a knife? What if they sneeze a bunch of phlegm in your face?

"No strings attached" doesn't exist. We are always reacting to what is developing, and have reasonable expectations.

Question: How does he make money? I would not feel comfortable if my therapist was a public figure. Perhaps I'm alone, but I'd imagine this might limit his clientele. At the same time, I'm sure there are homos that see him just to have him pay attention to them.

by Anonymousreply 27January 1, 2021 3:10 PM

I'd love a session with him just to test the degree to which he can talk about anything except himself. For someone like him, it must be a torturous way to make money.

by Anonymousreply 28January 1, 2021 3:17 PM

I can't shake the feeling this paragon of affirmed living is not what he claims and more what he seems.

by Anonymousreply 29January 1, 2021 3:18 PM

So first and foremost, the way this guy could avoid anyone talking about him is to not post on social media. I want to start by saying that and the choice of a "therapist" to do so - I believe - is suspect and shows he has more camera-friendly/wider fame aspirations than just having a private practice. Which, at its heart, I do not see as motivated by helping people.

That said, if we want to give him the benefit of the doubt and think that, at minimum, he wants to build up his practice and, at maximum, he wants to spread positivity and encouraging words to a wide audience - what SHOULD he be saying? Most of what he says - while surface level - I don't find wrong or morally objectionable.

Let me rephrase that I think the fact that he's posting ANYTHING is gross for a therapist to do but if one is gonna do it, his messaging isn't terrible.

[quote]What we see reflected in the mirror can go from a "flower crown" to "zombie lens" filter in a heartbeat without anything actually changing. We tend to buy what we see on the surface at face value without realizing how much it's distorted by our deeper emotional stuff. And us gays have plenty thanks to homophobia. In my latest video I teamed up with @grindr to talk about the "Funhouse Mirrors" effect, why it can be more triggering than ever during COVID, and how we can reset not only what we feel but also what we see.

The post in OP is a textbook example of toxic positivity. He’s a scam artist if he can’t recognize that too much blind positivity is called DENIAL.

And why are people calling him pretty? He’s exceedingly average looking and hides half his face under his beard. His entire personality is in his hair and his fake tanned, overworked out at fifty body.

by Anonymousreply 32January 1, 2021 5:23 PM

He's not pretty. But the gay collective decided he is with his high follower account. Most of these social media gays are average white guys with muscles. If the standards for attention and to even be glanced at in the gay community wasn't just be white & be fit than guys like Matthew Dempsey would have been ignored.

Yes, he went to PV in Nov. 2020 with all his friends. His friends are in PV again for New Year’s Eve so he posted that as a preemptive defense for them, for people not to call them out and to emphasize with them instead.
