i'm aroace and honestly i was relieved when i found out that concept existed bc it meant me not having a crush on anyone growing up was completely normal so idk if you're aroace exactly if you're viewing it like being someone who doesn't want a romantic relationship instead of being someone who's had trouble finding someone they wanted to be in a r......   reply

okay 1) fellow non-white person in the US here who fucking hates trump and his administration. i see this country falling ass backwards into fascism with a rate and magnitude of comedic proportions (...though this isn't actually that far off from the timeline of germany's descent to fascism) and i am similarly pissed the fuck off and really concern......   2 reply

if you're feeling anxious abt socializing and public speaking etc etc you won't be able to escape that in any other major either. if your academic passion is medicine i'd suggest sticking with it and then maybe go into r&d instead of being a clinician? i think ultimately your best bet for dealing with social awkwardness (from the limited info in th......   2 reply

im actually so mad that we're all getting dragged into this via the economy at the minimum unless you're unlucky enough to be from any marginalized community ever in the united states or just Aren't A White Supremacist Bootlicker Facist Lol bc some bitch ass white men cannot stop stroking their goddamn egos for one second oh my god do you know how ......   1 reply

yap incoming but tl;dr get into more trans history & media & nonfic books to unfuck your idea of gender (source: personal experience ) anyways. i think genuinely you just need more exposure to media & history to whittle away at the internalized bigotry and normalize these to you. that's what's helped me at least. could focus on stuff from your co......   2 reply

i wasnt into this media but the three decade kaishin queerbait from detective conan was actually diabolical idk if it was good bc of aforementioned but it's the funniest queerbait i've seen bc the author revealed after thirty fucking years that they were COUSINS   2 reply

i forget ppl are only level 1 woke or believe in woke that's disguised conservative beliefs and then i scroll through these responses & see "women reading yaoi are fetishizing gay men" and "ppl who like dark topics in media are promoting and normalizing the occurrence of them irl". and it's not like i don't understand why bc these opinions are pres......   4 reply

short answer i have is bc rape irl ≠ rape in fiction bc ppl are not interacting w them the same way regardless of whether the interest is academic, casual, personal, sexual, etc. bc consumption and enjoyment of fictional media is way more nuanced than just "they like The Thing in Every Context Imaginable" and also things in fiction are more nuanc......   2 reply

people can read the same stories as you for whatever reason they want lol not everyone's reading for plot or the characters and that's okay. don't worry about it, you'll be fine. people hornyposting about gay sex in the comments of bl comics which are seen by only other bl readers for the most part is not enough to sour the reputation of bl readers......   3 reply

get on bl manhua dawg or danmei if you like reading words!!! i think there's still manhwa & manga you'll like that you haven't read yet but (if this isn't me self reporting a skill issue) it's really hard to find stuff you'll like on mggo so jumping into a new-ish genre might make finding stuff easier for you :3 or going on socmed/other websites t......   1 reply

i have zero shame anymore i'll listen to anything in front of ppl ik lol but i used to be self conscious of listening to a lot of "not real" music like fanmade songs for media, video game ost remixes, the likes. discord by the living tombstone goes crazy tho idgaf anymore   reply

omegaverse stories have some p neat social commentary tbh and i mean the whole spectrum of the genre, wholesome and dark tropes and all, and including the porn. they can cover uncomfortable material but i think those are fun to analyze actually and can both offer value as critique and/or as the subject of critique when it comes to subjects like soc......   reply

i don't think you're wrong to have this opinion and preference; that's your right but i wanted to add my two cents that these stories being fiction means authors can jump straight into the kink fantasy without establishing consensual context. because nobody real is involved they can skip the discussion with any partner(s) involved and just immedia......   2 reply

hi some thoughts from one trans person in the US to another transmasc college student close to you in age. okay yeah things are not looking good for trans ppl in the united states at all but just letting you know that if you're basing your outlook for trans ppl based on trump's executive orders that executive orders ≠ laws and he's been gettin......   reply
