If I overreacted there, sorry, but tying it back to what I'm really saying, this seems where we went off track in the discussion beforehand.

The whole problem is that "boring" has become a synonym for "evil", and "interesting" or "cool" a synonym for "good." This is a big issue with queer theory; The theory may claim Cishets are oppressing queer people by existing, they're claimed to be evil...but ultimately the reason that queer theory defines cishets as evil boils down to "being straight is boring". Likewise, it claims "being queer makes you inherently interesting, which in turn makes you a good person." This is obviously not the case; indeed, if your entire personality boils down to what or how you like to have sex, you are one of the most painfully boring human beings on the planet to the point and admit that the only interesting thing about you and only redeeming quality you have is that you have a warm hole that it might feel good to stick something inside.

This also ties to where you might have gotten it wrong originally. Living an anonymous life and not trying to upset the apple cart may be boring, but it's not inherently good or evil. Likewise, living an "interesting" life isn't inherently good or evil as well (though the "interesting" life isn't even that interesting in most cases; it usually boils down to an "it's all about me and no one else but me, everyone else in existence is a pawn that is only there to make me look better or do my bidding", which...actually is kind of evil, and what I was saying.)
