that is a mid-youth crisis

Get the mid-youth crisis mug.Manufactured crises are when a person or a group cries out to others that something or someone is in danger from a different something or someone... when it really isn't. This is either because the claimed threat doesn't actually exist, or the claimed threat doesn't actually credibly threaten the thing that is purported to be threatened.
Unfortunately manufactured crises can be just as believable and seem just as real and dangerous as real crises when put together well. This especially goes if the reasoning behind manufactured crises plays to peoples' already existing prejudices and preconceptions about the things or other groups of people that are cast as being a threat.
Manufactured crises are frequently used in politics to rile up supporters and win over new ones. They often have a lot of overlap with conspiracy theories due to their shared nature of being untrue at their core. Hateful ideologies like antisemitism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc are also often propped up by manufactured crises that say that Jews/gays/foreigners/some other group are a threat to us, our family, our children, our country, our way of life, whatever.

ben: We've got to stop the gays. They're brainwashing and indoctrinating our children and turning them gay in our schools with all that diversity and inclusion bullcrap they're pushing! It's all part of their agenda!
chris: Simmer down, ben. Take a rational look at what's actually happening. Even if you feel uncomfortable around gay people, that whole bit about schools brainwashing children into being gay is nothing more than a manufactured crisis by right-wing leaders to rile you up. What schools are doing is teaching about the fact that queer people exist and that they should be respected the same as you would any other person. It's nowhere near being the "brainwashing" that the news pundits hype it up to be, and the goal certainly isn't to "turn our children gay".

in other words, you should have covered her face with a pillow to stop the noise. Usually a problem if you are at someone else's house, have neighbours close by, guests over, or you still live with your parents.

Get the Cuban Missile Crisis mug.When a bisexual person starts dating someone new and has an identity crisis about whether they are straight or gay, when really, they are bisexual.
"When I was dating Erica, I felt like a lesbian, but now that I'm dating Scott, I feel like a fake gay!" said the girl who is a 3 on the Kinsey scale. Her friends who were 0s and 6s on the Kinsey scale did not understand. Later she realized she was having a bidentity crisis, and she was in fact, not a gay or a "fake gay", but just a normal bisexual.
