Why is it so easy for people to understand that gay men may want to appropriate and play with femininity but so hard for them to understand gay women might want to do the same with masculinity

this is for the long term or the short term. folks who are indecisive will just have to choose something. pets do not count as children in this case.

#no marriage yes children #tho it’s a little more complex than that #open to marriage but in a qpr aro way #could go without children as well but I would be interested in fostering or something like that

[elabor8]

no offence but i think a lot of us me included don��t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

#and if you’re always running into a problem where you crave this so so badly but then you get in a relationship #and all your nerves fry and you’re suddenly repulsed and feel like a mad scientist overanalyzing every inch of the other person #trying to find why you feel betrayed #hi. you may be aromantic. sorry and god bless #scariest shit ever is reaching out to the world and asking to be important to someone. sometimes dating is the only word you have

Sometimes I really think we all need to stop having phones I don’t mean use screen time and delete social media and just use phones for specific things I mean no phones

#as much as i love a Throw Your Phone In The River post #cell phones have been huge for safety esp for homeless individuals #access to 911 and up to date maps with hours and ratings is literally lifesaving #saying ‘just use a landline’ kinda sucks

I barely follow any serial media nowadays so I only ever encounter this in epistolary artifacts, like a found-footage horror movie, but one thing I really think is funny is when people are following along with something as it releases and talking about how it’s being really clever and setting up a rare, compelling thematic commentary, and then later on it turns out that none of that panned out and the ending was mediocre and everyone was just extrapolating an illusory better plot in their mind’s eye

#mm obvi people have valid criticism but some of y’all in the notes #were you done dirty or were you missing the point #like yes imaginary good plot but also. imaginary entirely different plot

Hi, I have a question, and please don't take it as criticism because it really isn't I think you guys rock, idk how you manage it.

But I was wondering if you were keeping an eye/planned to do something about some strong racism going on in the Merthur-sasunaru poll? I know that it really isn't that deep, but it's the 5th slur I catch there, and while it's against white ppl I still find it pretty upsetting.

I know you got rid of death threaths and this ain't nearly that deep, but still... it would be nice if something is done about it. It's also making us Naruto fans look bad and like yikes...

Thank you for voicing your concerns, but we have not seen any usage of slurs or otherwise racist comments on this poll. If this changes, please let us know and we will assess the situation.

#oh i could say something about white people y’all won’t like… #‘racism towards white people’ give me a goddamn break #im glad those anime boys killed those crackers.

Hey, is it possible to be sex favorable and kiss repulsed?

Yep! I’ll go into a slight specific here but don’t take it to heart, this is just an example and you do not in any way have to relate to it!!

Kissing, for some, is seen as a much more romantic and intimate gesture then sex. Some view sex more casually then kissing and therefore can be sex favourable and kiss repulsed.

Being on the aromantic spectrum could result in this situation as you don’t view sex as romantic but you view or connect kissing to a more Romantic aspect.

Stay safe anon and remember it’s your box!!

#me!! #dw anon you totally can be both at the same time #for me personally #kissing feels really weird to me but sex is cool #esp mouth/face kissing #i don’t mind body kissing

I do think it’s unfortunate that people (europeans) automatically assume that “american” style versions of foods are immediately the most bastardized version done purposefully out of lack of culture, when the reality a lot of times it’s rooted in a response of millions of poor immigrants stepping foot in a foreign land attempting to recreate beloved recipes with what few ingredients were available and affordable

#people are so fucking stupid #regularly fighting for my life defending canadian chinese takeout #when my grandparents immigrated from HK it was what they knew how to do well and whatever corners were cut were cut for necessity #it’s not traditional culture but it IS culture and it’s like that for a reason #shut up abt msg shut up abt msg!!!

and i oop-

[elabor8]

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.
