I love hugging people for no reason. But I am a hugger and a touchy person....so I guess I am not of the norm.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
My favorite colors are really, really bright/saturated red and green on their own, any really bright saturated color alongside black, and grey. Grey's the go-to color for everything I do.

Have at it, thread!
Goats shall always prevail! But I do kind of want to see what the other ones generate.

I really don't get how you could have a non-forum-friendly literal interpretation of a trump card, buuuuuut I would like to see 'em all! Especially the goat one!

It's a piece of naruto fan art, rather than a literal card. It does use the phrase "trump card" though!

That said, they're both adults at this point, they're not having kids who would be put at genetic risk, and if they're legitimately in love my discomfort with a situation is not a valid reason to condemn it if nobody is being hurt/abused. If the daughter feels sufficiently empowered to walk away from the situation without coercion due to the nature of the relationship... I'll swallow my opinions.

Does my picture work yet? I can't fix it right now but if not I will try and figure it out again.

Just use the image link rather than the website link. It's visible if you click the link though.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Aye. I am leery of this sort of thing. But really I can't say anything either. My default responses are the same sorts of rationalization you hear when explaining away any sort of dislike of such things.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Pretty sure that's a satire website, but that's not necessarily relevant to the discussion of whether or not incest is okay.
I'm uncomfortable with incest because of the aforementioned power dynamics involved, not because of any genetic issues. We let people with stuff like Huntington's disease breed and that's a 50% shot at passing it on to your kids. And that one's significantly debilitating. Incest isn't particularly likely to cause any significant problems within one generation; it's generations of inbreeding that causes serious problems.

Generally speaking, I think it's fair to not approve of something, even something that has nothing to do with you and doesn't hurt people, as long as you don't make life harder for people as a result and don't claim that old privileged whine of "my special privileges are going away because of equality, I'm being oppressed."
As said, I'm not comfortable with the relationship described. It cuts close to some real abuse I've seen, where parents took sexual advantage of their children and where people did get hurt, and my knee jerk response is to look for and defend a victim. I don't think I'd want to go to a dinner party with that family, I think I would be too uncomfortable with their circumstances. But if nobody's getting hurt, I'm not going to condemn it or say it should be illegal or anything, and I'm not going to hurl slurs at them, I'd rather just keep my head down and let them do their own thing.

Sorry, that should have read "to **** with them and play the head games," rather than "for ****s and giggles," sorry.

Heh, no problem. I don't even know how one hugs someone else while trying to screw with them, so you got me there :smallsmile:

Because the idea of a dog that's actually a cat is merely a novel concept with no bearing in reality. While a man who is actually a woman is very much real, and very controversial, even though it shouldn't be.
It's silly, but there it is.

I'm very much the same. And I wish we were the norm. :smallfrown:
Also my favourite colour is blue.

Re: LGBTAI+ #52: Aces High
Heliomance, it's an allegory. I'm pretty sure the author thought about trans people when making the cartoon - and most viewers think about them, too. But there's more to it; many cis people also easily identify with the character. This short film is about inner... duality? ambivalence? dichotomy? (not sure which English word is right) in general. Such generality is the strength of allegories.
Another short cartoon from the same author (Siri Melchior):

No not left just been busy sleeping 14 hours a day and being tired and depressed when I'm up (and got a bit tired of some of the fedora-y types around here and didn't have much to say rather than actively leaving). Seems I've not got schizophrenia as was thought but some form of OCD which is why I get all the self-harm impulses, hopefully start seeing a psych on the regular in a few weeks which will also be a year since I was hospitalised. Other than that not much has happened so yeah sorry to worry you Lentrax *boops ur nose*
Also think I'm maybe possibly on the asexual spectrum more than I thought after reading some stuff and going "yeah that fits" but idk. Been drawing lots and that sort of thing.

Mystic - nothing really, I just wanted to use it. I was thinking of just posting that and nothing else but then I remembered this forum has "standards" :smallsigh: :smallwink:
Musashi - Well hopefully, this will be the... seventh psych I'll be seeing I think, not sure sort of lost track of them all really :/
