CW: talkin' about kinks and sexuality
I'm definitely not ace, but also, my relationship to kink is so entirely dissociated from anything resembling normal sexuality, and so thoroughly picky and demanding within that spectrum that I wonder if I'm not somewhere on that spectrum. 'Demisexual' only sorta covers it.

sidebar tangent: about a week ago I heard an ace person refer to non-asexual people as 'romos' and became so unreasonably enraged I kind of wanted to find a way to slap them through my computer screen
hey, asshole: maybe don't make your cutesy slur for The Normies -quite- so close to one used to actually oppress and dehumanize people as recently as, like, yesterday

@hystericempress god i love you sis <3 seriously, could people please NOT attempt to be "woke" by simply substituting one variable for another in the Anti-Life Equations, based on whoever's fair political game this week? >___<

@hystericempress I mean, if you REALLY wanna nitpick it (and I emphatically don't, because fuck them), Nazi is a tad classist because IIRC it was based on a—Bavarian, I think?—nickname for a hick.
It'd be like calling all Trump Republicans "Goober," which... um... is pretty tempting now that you mention it, because I 100% agree—derogatory names based on adoption of an inhumane ideology instead of an accident of birth are still kinda just fine with me these days.
Not optimal, yanno, but... I'll stop playing with Memetic Dark Magic when THEY do. I don't really want a world where the power of ridicule is an effective, let alone necessary, tactic. But damn if it isn't a necessary part of a good self-defense arsenal these days, as long as you laser-aim it towards people who have ACTUALLY ANTAGONIZED YOU WITH SOMETHING MORE THAN MERELY SYMBOLIZING SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE VIA THE OFFENSE OF THEIR EXISTENCE.
But in the case of slurs like "romos" and "breeders" and such... my main objection is that they tend to tar and alienate people who MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUR FUCKING FRIENDS based on something they can't help, that does not necessarily denote that they are enemies. If someone explicitly PICKS enmity towards us as a (*knowing smirk*) "lifestyle choice"... yeah, fuck 'em.

@hystericempress OK sis, also your punishment for making a Jojo's reference is now you gotta pick a stand power for me :p
re: CW: talkin' about kinks and sexuality
@zebratron2084 STAND NAME: Lincolnshire Poacher
STAND ABILITY: Takes the form of a humanoid figure with a head comprised of a a stylized Cold War-era satellite. It can take control of any ambient broadcasting equipment or audio playback to deliver a sequence of seemingly-random numbers. those who hear the numbers are compelled to obey a single command from the Stand user, which can be no longer than a sentence; they will not remember it afterwards.

@hystericempress OOOOH. <3 <3 <3
I like that much better than my idea, which was basically Dinsdale Piranha's capacity to inflict grievous bodily harm via sarcasm and literary device. >:D
Also, I mean, who the fuck wants to be chased around by a giant Cockney hedgehog?

@hystericempress hahaha, every time I think i've shook my mc fetish, someone goes and drags me back in 😻
re: CW: talkin' about kinks and sexuality
@zebratron2084 if I ever get a Stand power ala Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I want it to be either 'can inflate anything, including the user, with a touch,' or 'constantly broadcast the thought THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ACCEPTABLE SLUR into the minds of everyone within range'
Nazi and TERF, for the record, ain't slurs
