I have plenty to say about this, but I’m presently at a Thing. I will say that if there are any pedos who haven’t read Sex without Shame, by Dr. Aylayne Yates, they should fix that. It’s from the 70s, so it’s a bit scuffed, but it’s one of the most digestible reads that teaches the truth about “human nature” when it comes to sexuality. Suffice to say you’ve been sniffing the red pill, but you haven’t swallowed it yet.

as it happens, I wrote this old thing

I did, because I thought it would work more similarly to how language pickers usually behave. I didn’t intend to deselect undetermined, but it was deselected when I picked English and Japanese.

I put it back, but it seems like it’s still weird.

You can’t. It only lets you pick one language, even though that definitely isn’t how that feature is supposed to work. That’s why it warns you that if you switch from Unspecified, you won’t see a bunch of stuff. The flipside is if you aren’t posting in Unspecified, people will not properly see what you’re saying. You have to edit your posts to change the language to Unspecified or it’s only showing up in my inbox and for people who also changed their language the way it says not to.

I think you’re not supposed to do that. It’s not sufficient to only be able to pick one, and they know that, so that’s why you have to leave it on Undetermined.

PS: Yeah, can’t see your post in the thread now, this is silly. If I switch to English I won’t be able to see most other posts. Hopefully they get that working correctly soon.

Yeah, I’ve certainly noticed that zoos who frequent communities tend to signal really hard about how different they are from every other greek letter. It’s kind of ridiculous, pathetic, and delusional that they think they could ever get the broader society under capitalism to accept them as just regular people who happen to enjoy getting knotted. Such a genuine love of and respect for animals can’t be tolerated within empire, which is founded on exploitation. If they ever were accepted, it’d be because they’re the type to treat animals as sex toys.

Oddly though, talking to weird randos online, and even talking to normqueers one on one in meatspace, I’ve noticed that zoo is a really great thing to setup a para motte-and-bailey with. People who don’t like zoo are almost never gonna care enough to do more than irritate or disappoint you, while people who are at least tolerant enough to have a nice conversation about it will be much less likely to react if you tell them about whatever other things you might have going on.

I have no idea what I could’ve changed that would do this. I only see things in my inbox half the time. They don’t show up in threads after reading. I switched back to Undetermined language, that’s not it.

really difficult to get laid outside of society, unfortunately

only a little bit more so than within it, but it’s something

It’s kinda hell, isn’t it? :V

what the fuck would anyone vote this down for

This depends so strongly on the species of attraction that it is incoherent to attempt to impose a standard on zoophilia as a whole.

Nobody’s hurting a horse unless they do it on purpose. It should be fairly obvious that it is in fact John McAfee who was incapable of consenting to the whale. The vast majority of dogs are huge sluts unless yelled at for it.

Cats? Rein yourself in, that one’s tough. Chickens are very popular for some reason, and I don’t think that’s good; they have complex mating behaviors that indicate pickiness and generally aren’t good at communicating with us.

The piece of anthropocentrism you forgot is that “different species” is a level beyond “different culture.”

You’re ruling out the only things that will work because you care about the opinions of people who are not involved in what you’re doing for some reason. The only people who can see you’re looking at tf art are the ones who can see your search history on e621. If you’re giving anyone that much access to your shit, that’s the first problem you should fix.

You care way, way, way too much about what people think your labels mean. Yeah, the aroaces would mostly tell you you don’t belong there. Because they’re normqueer bigots. Disregard them.

The way you write about it makes it seem far more likely to me that you’re not actually that anyway. You struggle with a traumatic level of shame that makes you sex averse. That’s not the same as not actually being interested. You clearly are on some level or there’d be no conflict about not “belonging” to these “communities.” A therapist can help you overcome the giant stack of internalized phobias you’re dragging around.

It’s an incredibly bad idea to look at it, because it’s not a normal type of illegal. It’s always seemed pretty obvious to me that the idea of desire by itself being enough to impair ones’ judgement is kinda bullshit; pair it with another intense pressure, such as the fear caused by seeing something your society tells people isn’t real and they’ll make sure it’s not if it is, and any sense you have will melt pretty quick. You don’t want to think about the kind of mistakes you’ll be prone to making while doing something that illegal. It is a severe cognitohazard in exactly the way antis talk about porn in general, entirely because of the consequences if you’re caught.

However, suppose you’re living the dream. I actually kind of think you have a responsibility to produce an archive to be posthumously released. The whole reason sexual shame is so entrenched is that if people don’t see a thing, they think it doesn’t exist. Doing it this way also shits on any claims the work was intended to commercially exploit the kid, since you couldn’t possibly have seen a dime and that kid’s only getting paid if they decide to sell it. This makes it harder to undermine anything that is in your work that shows happiness, curiosity, enthusiasm, etc. Making not cp, but rather chronicles of radically sex-positive childcare, and shoving them into the public record once you’re gone, is revolutionary praxis.

I got raped for a few seconds once and even back then sometimes felt like he should’ve finished the job, does that count?
