coming out of the cupboard

"coming out of the cupboard" is a figure of speech for popular or non popular people's disclosure of their secret obsession for Harry Potter.
The term comes from the well know phrase "coming out of the closet" which refers to a person revealing that they are gay/lesbian.
The "closet" part is replaced by "cupboard" because, as we know, Harry Potter lived in the "cupboard under the stairs" in the beginning of the book series.
I guess I'm finally coming out of the cupboard. I didn't really want people to know I was secretly obsessed with Harry Potter

Regina claming

1
to become butt hurt over something someone said about someone else with the same name

2
recreationally policing the interweb with the wishful thinking that everyone should be at least as closed minded

3
whine and bitch until you "convince" everyone to stop disagreeing with you and then irrationally conclude you've attained consensus

4
emotional interweb terrorism
"I am the Regina in question and I refuse that my name be used for inflammatory purposes on the internet. I have been victim of harassement because of this definition. Please remove this definition immediately or I will need to take legal action. " Regina claming again! How the fuck could she be so arrogant to think every regina on the internet is her?

Refuse all you want! What you want does NOT outweigh freedom of speech, Regina claming asshole. Yeah, free speech is free to be fucking offensive. You DO NOT have any right to be not-offended, shitheadtart. The first amendment exists to protect UNpopular speech. Get a fucking clue or dozen. GTFO
