Rationality Technique: Read The Book You're Talking About

thing that somehow more than one queer person has said to me: yeah theres exactly 12 types of people because theres like 12 star-based time periods people can be born in. and youre the bitch type

food sensitivity test...since when is being ok with bleu cheese comparable to eating bread or jelly that has mold on it? the cheese mold is a domesticated creature that we care for and replicate in exchange for making us funny snacks. I know her and I trust her. mold on a fruit could be anybody

Bouba/Kiki Context

That's Tress in her Orchard form, so her form in later Ward. Her both with and without the prosthetic were earlier polls.

Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!

Everyone judges Manton, accusing him of all manner of perversion for making the striped puppet of his daughter do nudist cannibalism but no one asks:

What if his daughter was just like that?

Maybe she was just kinda freaky and manton is accurately representing her and what she'd do if she was super strong. Ever consider that?

Let the man walk he's innocent.

Trying to start some toxic yuri shit with this mech pilot, but she's well adjusted and happily married. I called her my loyal dog and she filed an HR report fuuuuuuuuck

guys stop making fun of her it was her first assassination attempt

there's this trick that racists/queerphobes/etc do, it's really slick. let's just do a little dialogue as an example, the names have been obscured but I've seen this exact exchange happen before.

Stephanie mc. Influencer: "And furthermore, body positivity intersects with black liberation, as black women are often held to unattainable eurocentric beauty standards"

Suave Replyboy Jr: "Lmao, you leftists always tell on yourselves, did you really just say black people are ugly??"

You see the trick here? it's kind of complicated, like, Stephanie is arguing from the perspective that beauty standards are arbitrary and subject to change, Suave understands beauty as an objective hierarchy, so he dunks on Stephanie safely from the inside of that standard. To him, and likely to many people who haven't thought about their own assumptions very much, the only reason black people would want their own body positivity movement is because they're ugly. Bonus points if Stephanie is white, and you can rile her community against her with claims of racism.

I've been getting some replies like this on my posts about sexual trauma, kink, and queerness. Like... I say that sexual deviance of all forms can intersect and correlate with queer identity, and dozens of Suave Replyboy Jrs come out and dunk on me from the other side of the glass, from inside the false universe I'm trying to discredit, the one where "sexual deviance" is immoral and associating queer sexuality with deviancy is an insult. I'm not saying queer people are dangerous perverts, that's you.
