I am genuinely having such a blast interacting with this community. I do apologize if me being everywhere is annoying to anyone, but I really missed something like this place in my life. Sure I can go on Reddit or Twitter, but watch me getting witchhunted for merely breathing wrong. I'd have to hide crucial parts of myself. I wouldn't be able to fully speak my mind. Here I don't have to worry about that, I can just exist!

Thank you, rqd2 💟

Watching Markiplier's new Pokéfusion Smash or Pass video. He passed this one, but I would totally smash.

[Image is a screen shot of the mentioned video, with Markiplier's facecam in the top left corner. His smash counter is at 1 and his pass counter at 25. The Pokéfusion currently on screen is Leaflia, a fusion of Kirlia and Leafeon.]

I remember when I was watching Stranger Things, and Eleven got the bitchin' alt make-over I felt.. things. I was talking to my friend about it and expressing that I was scared to look up what age she was. Then I told myself I would just wait until she's legal to find her attractive, but now I don't really find her attractive anymore.

The silly brain gymnastics one comes up with to avoid accepting being a pedo, lol.

So apparently "meet/find likeminded people" is a covert phrase people use to find others to trade and distribute CSAM/CSEM to, as in stuff that fails the DOST test. Undercover feds may use it as well.

This is kind of embarassing to admit, but I have used that phrase before, unbeknowst of its connotation. I feel torn about it, because I liked using it. For me it was a way to say "I'm looking for fellow accepting freaks with similar humour, values, etc." I guess being more specific is more beneficial anyway.

So yea, be careful!

Even if I might not fully grasp every identity, trying to dictate other's experiences for them feels bad.

There was a time where I was in an autism Discord server, and they randomly decided to ban transautistics from being in the server. Especially back then, I didn't really know what that was, but it felt wrong. Like there was a bad taste in my mouth. The taste was new yet familiar.

It would be very easy to shrug it off and pretend it doesn't affect me, but as a cis-paraphile I know what it's like to be ostracized and no matter how much bullying I've gone through, I will never let myself stand on the other side. Making others miserable does not feel pleasant. I want to be the accepting and gentle ally that I never had.
