idle thoughts on discourse, queer culture, social media, etc 

Idly thinking about how discourse around Literally Anything is because we're all on the mixing pots of social media.

Take for example queer purity: there could be a community of raunchy queer people, a community of soft uwu queer people, and both should be able to exist. Additionally, neither have the responsibility to be safe spaces for young people to teach them whatever they need, either. There could be a third space specifically for teenagers and kids for that.

Imagine if we were still in small individualised spaces where there was an understanding of the accepted aesthetic of each of those spaces?

Anyway I guess I'm pondering a little about my transhumanist story with robot bodies that have a pooltoy design, that explores body autonomy, disability, and identity, and that story could be weird and raunchy in its own squeaky way and it deserves to be respected by the audience I write it for, and anyone that doesn't vibe with it doesn't have the right to demand it be something else~.
