The provided image is fairly bad, but there is another part of this thread where some guy is unironically trying to science and logic other people about how "unhealthy" polyamory is, and how it is a "choice" and therefore should be discouraged.
Plus the hundreds of upvotes on deleted comments that were likely ... not so good. Though I have no idea how to view deleted comments.
And yes, feel proud of me. I blocked r/neoliberal. A small step towards better mental health.
I mean, there might be some dude who isn't really polyamorous but is so desperate for a relationship that he goes out with a polyamorous woman who already has multiple partners, but if he can't handle that, that's his problem, he should probably examine himself and his own issues, not blame polyamory for it.
I personally don't "get" polyamory and it isn't for me, but it costs me nothing to just not give a shit about other people's preferred lifestyle. It doesn't work for me, but it does work for other people, so that's fine.
Now that I think about it, this guy is probably basing his entire "polyamory bad" opinion on one of the Futurama movies, the second one? Third one maybe? Fry dates a polyamorous girl who doesn't reveal that she's poly until after he's moved in with her. Come to think of it, it has a lot of overlap with transphobic "jokes" from around the same time the movie came out. I can't really think of any other media where polyamory fearmongering was a thing.
Polyamory fearmongering is very prevalent. It comes from the fearmongering about some powerful men having multiple wives in feudal societies (a genuine problem) + the western man's obsession with cuck porn + class societies obsessing over inheritance.
I've known dudes who get into poly relationships out of a fear (legitimate or not) that they couldn't find a partner if people had other options.
They seem happy ish after a while, idk, I dont really have a point. I guess getting dick and pussy from multiple people outweighs your insecurities in the end? Human culture is hugely malleable and people adapt to a wide range of circumstances?
