once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and that’s ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
Every time I hear about a kink I don’t know, I am compelled to look it up. I have to know, I’m hungry for this knowledge
Here, the pool toy furs are kinda cute. I’m personally not into it as a kink, but they’re cute.
Mossy, don’t take this the wrong day, but I’m laughing at the idea of you first looking at this post and thinking “I know someone is going to have questions about this and goddamnit I have the answers”
Thank you for your service
That is exactly what was going through my head, Mossy! Well, kinda. The other part is being like, “look, this may be a kink or fetish, but there’s plenty of sfw stuff; you don’t have to think it’s weird just because sex makes you uncomfy”. It sucks when people assume something you’re into is purely sexual because then social taboos kick in and you can’t talk about it anymore.
Imagine if you really liked plushies, enough so that you have a “plushsona”. You’re not into the sexual side of it, you just really, really like plushies, and you like telling people about the different names and personalities of your plushies. At some point someone gets it into their head that you’re actually aroused by your plushies and that you might even fuck them at night. Now everyone thinks it’s a fetish and no one wants to talk about your “”“perverted interests”“” anymore.
That’s why. That kinda shit sucks.
Some people on the internet seem to think passion = sexual arousal, I see it all the time with special interests.
You can obviously be passionate about pokemon, for example, without having carnal desires towards them, but the fact that they’re popular in certain kinds of art causes people to judge a huge community by its horniest creators.
That’s not to say the horny art is bad or anything (although I have a particular gripe with fantasies that wouldn’t pass the Harkness test), but it seems to always draw the wrong sort of attention.
Cheers, appreciate the dedication :)
few words of advice:
e621 has a sister site called e926.net that’s basically just e621 with a hardcoded rating:safe filter,
and you should always add either order:score or order:favcount at the end of the search because by default it’s sorted from newest post to last and new posts can have mistakes including missing solely needed tags or having the wrong rating.
Good point. I tend to have order:(whatever) because I like seeing whatever new pops up. I forgot about e926.
fair. the popular tab is built on the work of pioneers like you
