being aspec is always a bit confusing at best because it's kind of being queer but in the other direction. like it isn't radical forms of romance/sexuality/gender but instead wanting to back off from that kind of thing or just not feeling it in the first place
@rpgwaiter@ptrc aspec (aromantic/asexual/agender spectrum) stuff is an entire interesting rabbit hole of "what do people do if they don't even want to be a part of this or only really want just a little" and it's super overlooked because we're kind of queer in the other direction
@rpgwaiter@ptrc as someone who is aromantic (on top of sex-repulsed asexual) I can't say that I'm qualified for this but AFAIK romance is basically when you find someone attractive and you're just like "I need to be with this person forever" or something like that as opposed to friendship where you're independent but like to hang out and do stuff together.
there's also the secret third thing: queerplatonic relationships. that's basically being extremely friends with someone but not traditionally attracted to each other so you kind of end up between the two
but yeah I guess there are people out there! it just seems that I tend to run into the very openly kinky on main ones nine times out of ten and it's very aggravating to me. bluh
if anyone accuses me of being sex negative or thinks that people should not post anything nsfw I'm going to spray a bottle full of soapy water directly into your eyes btw
ok is there room for people who don't really want to engage with nsfw in the furry community. I just want to enjoy people's scrunklies without being caught off guard by someone's fetish or whatever
ok look I'm happy that 11ty was able to secure a lot of funding and development of the free non-CMS side will continue for the foreseeable future but again I'm not really jazzed about the name change to "build awesome." it just feels like a downgrade
