Curate, connect, and discover
I recently saw a post from an asexual talking about how sex obsessed our society is and I am allo myself so I obviously don't know how it is from a perspective of someone who feels no sexual attraction. I have sexual trauma however so I tend to be a bit more sensitive towards sexual adds or nudes in media.
So I saw this advertisement in my city that was displayed on electronic screens that kinda scroll through two or three different ads, which meant the ad wasn't always showing but would rather kinda pop up. And this ad was just seriously a grown man completely naked with only a surgical mask covering up his penis.
I have no clue what this advertisement tried to sell/promote but when ever I encountered it, it would give me a fucking shock to my system because I was traumatized from being flashed by men without my consent for years.
It's a mystery to me how people can be opposed to queer media that might show them interact romantically or with kissing and cry out about how this promotion of same sex attraction is damaging kids with these over sexual things like gay marriage! Behaving like our media doesn't show half naked men and women constantly in advertisement and similar things to kids amd everyone else.
Sex is a huge part of our culture but it is handled in the most confusing way I can imagine. It's being used to sell products to us, however talking about it is not okay? There is so much double standard and paradox rules that create this hostile environment against anything or anyone who doesn't exactly do what the rules tell you to (ergo shut about your own sex live but endure any and all sexual media we promote to you because we know what you like better than you)
Asexual people, queer people, traumatized people and even anyone who likes things considered not "normal" or "the norm" is harmed by this systematically!!!!!
Sex isn't something bad, not wanting sex isn't something bad either!!!!!
Let people live their lives, identities and preferences however they want!!!!
Let's work towards a society in which people aren't constantly bombarded with a specific idea of what sex and anything surrounding it has to look like but rather are presented with a variety of diverse representation that they can consume.
“why does that character have to be queer?”
why not?
“why does that character have to be trans?”
why not?
“why does that character have to be a poc?”
why not?

My mom argued with me for "letting" my bro play Dress to Impress on my Roblox account
She said it was a game for girls and he shouldn't be playing this kind of stuff and, honestly, this is so frustrating and sad
We were genuinely having a blast. Bro went full competitive mode, excitedly putting outfits and getting super happy with his 4th place (he ate)
It's such a harmless and fun game. Specially to play together. This whole heteronormative gender role thing is such a PAIN IN THE ASS
Let people enjoy harmless game they have fun playing .
So what if a young teen boy is playing a competitive dressing game with his sister? Even if he was alone, too. What's the wrong thing about this?? It's infuriating to see people being deprived from doing stuff they enjoy because "it's for boys" or "it's for girls". It's a game. Period.
This whole frail toxic masculinity is a deeply rooted behavior that must be changed. Let boys have fun! Being by playing shooting games or dress up games. Who should care? Only hobbyless people who have nothing else to do with their lives, obviously.
This whole "oh but that will influence men to be more feminine and gay" talk is so dumb. Even if it did influenced boys to "act more feminine", the only harm this cause is done by those closed minded people who shame people for expressing themselves in a way that makes them happy and confortable. The only issue this may potentially cause is solely and fully the fault of these people.
The harm a boy wearing a skirt isn't caused by the skirt, but by the person who shames, insults, belittle and forbid him to do so.
This is a way bigger rambling than I expected but anyways. I'm mad. We were just playing a fun game together. And now we can't. At least, while mommy and daddy are home.
Just let bro cook!!!!! (He made this all by himself)
