I'm choosing to believe he adopted the kitty. For the cuteness.

Another note: the most common slang term for “straight“ in Japan (nonke) is better understood as “not that way” ie “not gay”.
Just lumps all more complex orientations into “straight with extra steps”.

Rooted in heteronormativity and homophobia making it “easier” to be in relationships with women and thus there being anxiety that a partner that is anything but gay is at risk of leaving you because it’s “too hard” or “too dangerous“ because they have the ”choice” as to whom they love.
I used to think I was pan, mentioned that when I was talking to a couple gay people in nichoume the one time I went there (autistic and SENSORY OVERLOAD) and they just frowned and walked away. Said it to my (bi) friend “oh, yeah. Don’t say that. People just think of you as straight.”
BulllllllSHIT.

Soooo, yeah. “You were straight.” Accurate translation, but feh!




Meanwhile I just talked to someone the other day who insisted that bisexuals “are homosexual, just not exclusively”. This person is bisexual. And clearly a moron.
The word “lesbian” doesn’t mean anything anymore (don’t get me started), so I gave up on using it and was going with “homosexual woman” and now I guess I’m just a dyke! Or a “woman exclusively attracted to other women”. But then there are people trying to include “some” non-binary people in a sub-category of women, so I might end up with a secret orientation. I’m married anyway. Already don’t use any flags. I’m trans and find the triangled flag othering and pandering, and people get angry if one uses just 🏳️‍🌈.
So my van now has a mogan Dovid magnet and a Fokofpolisiekar sticker on it, and nothing else.
(also if I rocked any pride anything zoomers would walk up and try to have a gay-ass conversation or wink, nod, thumbs up… I’m buying toilet paper and avocados! Leave me alone and ring me up, let me pay, and leave! I dress halfway to frum avoiding any potential chance of any colour combination that might dog whistle unintentionally, now.)

Aw, yes, lift each other, don’t feel like it’s a competition.

I think you should read the latest upload.

I think you should read the latest upload.

No sentence in response to my post there could have made me less likely to read the latest upload.

Maybe I am being too pessimistic, and assuming the worst, but a marriage of 8 years ended recently, so I don't feel like playing the odds when I can just as easily go back to reading other things, like the three novels I have started.

I thought the series was done... I know I wasn't following it. Maybe I was just bored. Whatever.

I can think of a few sentences...
Look, you seemed to have been irked by the characters identifying as 'straight', so I thought you might've appreciated, or at least be intrigued, that the new update (which is the same chapter with a more extended scene) adressed that point.
Sorry to hear about your marriage.

Have a nice day.

Look, you could well have been saying it got worse.
In fact, you have not said otherwise!

Also, maybe don't bite my head off for saying "my life is already falling apart and I am risk averse"
That's kind of... Sociopathic? "Oh, your entire future is suddenly a mystery and you don't want more? Well, fuck you for not being pleased. Have a nice day"

I'm being hyperbolic of course, but thanks for coming into my life, being cryptic and then annoyed that I wasn't pleased by an ominous statement.

"They addressed it" IN WHAT WAY? I WILL NEVER KNOW, BECAUSE I WANT TO MOVE O FROM THIS CONVERSATION FOREVER.
NOW I GO BUY COFFEE AND WEED, THEN CONSUME COPIOUS AMOUNTS
