the chemistry two women or two men share on-stage exists independently of their off-stage lives. some of us find joy in suspending disbelief to appreciate freenbecky's on-stage romance and chemistry. it's natural to hope for more collaborations or feel let down when they are cast with a different person

"... if bisexuals have soooo00o0o much privilege shouldnt we be with a boy AND a girl?"

being with multiple people at once isn't the definition of "privilege"

our beliefs are at odds, so i'll thank you for sharing yours with me and allow the conversation to conclude here. i wish you well

"... straight identifying people are simply the majority and therefore bi people are statistically more likely to find an opposite gender partner"

you're implying that bisexuality/fluidity is a temporary pit stop on the road to "straightness." it resigns to heteronormative pressures and current statistics

"bi/fluid" people tend to be opportunists, forsaking principle in favor of convenience and drifting toward whichever provides the most immediate gratification, man or woman. they don't exert the energy required to find a same-sex partner or confront the daring challenge of a non-straight relationship. they're passive participants in the perpetuation of heteronormativity

"... bi people do not "choose" to "engage" in straight passing relationships"
"... some gay people will chose to be in "straight" relationships and many are straight passing as well?"

"bi/fluid" people don't choose it, but gay people do? aren't you contradicting yourself?

i didn't claim that "straight" passing gay people in "straight" relationships aren't part of the problem. they are. the tyranny of heteronormativity isn't overthrown by paying lip service to the truth of one's sexuality while living a life of falsehood

it's not as dumb as this drama

"bi/fluid" people are perched atop a comfortable pedestal of privilege. the majority of them choose to engage in the "straight" lifestyle and find someone of the opposite sex. capable of blending into the crowd and enjoying the societal benefits that come with passing as "straight," they're invisible to the discrimination so frequently faced by members of the gay community. they then hijack the discourse of the gay people who have no such recourses, speak over them, and silence their cries for justice. they use their privilege as a tool of oppression, not a platform for progress

that's my belief. if you're uncomfortable with me "policing" other people's experiences, don't police how i express myself and my beliefs in response to certain content

i don't need therapy for having a different belief system

"... be thankful to your mother who made sex and had you, otherwise extintion would be the other option"

i'm not afraid of extinction, and i'm not grateful that i was born. if the end of humanity was tomorrow, i'd be the one wearing a party hat and a smile

i'll leave you with that little nugget of wisdom, and wish you a fantastic day

"... wanted by the majority of humans and animals on Earth"

the behavior of non-human species with regard to "sexual" activity is a product of instinct, and not conscious desire/want. humans possess the capacity for conscious decision-making. they can want or not want "sex." this means not everyone will find "sex" to be as desirable or fulfilling as you claim it to be

mental health isn't something that can be "f-ed" away. you can't sleep with your problems and expect them to disappear

the "joke" wasn't funny, try upping your games next time

the widespread dissemination of "pornography" has deleterious effects on society, it should be stopped everywhere through prohibition and regulation

the lgb or less liberal women/men who don't agree with tq+ ideology are as concerned with genitals as you are with their beliefs. they're not the ones trying to force a new narrative on everyone else

i don't believe that the categories of "woman" and "man" are arbitrary social constructs or feelings. they describe the reality of our bodies and physical differences. genitals are among the most obvious, basic markers of this reality, which has implications across all areas of life, including how we care for our health and the way we organize our societies/spaces

i won't refer to individuals or fictional creatures with the ability to become pregnant as "men" based on self-identification

the defining characteristics of bl, as opposed to non-bl, revolve around the presence of same-sex relationships and the ultimate fate of same-sex couples. unlike the more gloomy and tragic conclusions of "queer" narratives, bl narratives tend to wrap up with a more cheerful, optimistic conclusion

i wasn't trying to distort anything, i was interpreting the comment the best i could. if my interpretation was off base, i apologize, and i wish the comment had been explained better

i share a similar academic background with you, having earned two bachelor's degrees in computer science and literature/translation

in the spirit of fairness, we both made assumptions about each other. you assumed that i was less educated and had yet to finish high school. we can call it even

"In science we that anecdotal evidence. It's not worth anything, so basically, yeah, it was uninformed generalization, just like any other prejudiced person does"

an individual's personal experiences, while anecdotal, reflect larger societal patterns or trends that deserve attention and consideration. i wouldn't agree that they're "worth nothing"

"And I didn't mean anything regarding sexual violence"

i'm relieved to hear that your comment wasn't meant to promote harmful attitudes or behaviors

it might've been the reference to the queens that triggered my response, as their circumstances were often bleak. royal women were pressured into loveless, strategic alliances. kings were afforded unchecked authority and seized whatever they fancied, regardless of whether the queens consented

it's a sensitive topic that stirred powerful emotions in me, i hope you understand

"In other words: PREJUDICE"

the generalization i made wasn't uninformed, it was based on patterns of behavior and rhetoric i've observed in those who have a problem with declining birth rates

"I never specified "women", even though I was using the Queen as an example"

you might not have explicitly mentioned "women," but the use of "queens" implied that the "responsibility" for increasing the birth rate primarily falls on korean women. it undermines the autonomy and agency of women more so than men's

korean women are making informed choices about their lives and deciding to have fewer children or none at all. this decision is a fundamental part of bodily autonomy/freedom and is not to be shamed

"No more arguments, so now just denying and calling names"

i said what i said, we've exhausted the subject matter and any further conversation would be redundant

my high school diploma has been gathering dust. after 8 years, it’s still worth more than your ged in "anti-intellectualism" from the trump university of youtube

i'm touched that you're trying to prepare me for a career in politics! thank you for the vote of confidence

as for trump 2025, we'll be enjoying that together ... in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that will follow

i'm not indoctrinated, i'm educated and think for myself. there's a difference

"And that's exactly what you came here to do"

on the contrary, you and op "came here to do that." op expressed discontent with others "whining" and engaged in the same whining they condemned. i only called attention to the hypocrisy

"You distorted what I said the other day"

you made vague and sweeping comments about how women should behave, you can't expect everyone to interpret them as you intended

your comment was that childless, sex-averse korean women should "learn" from their foremothers, who were deprived of reproductive autonomy. i pointed out the dark implications of your comment. based on my experience, individuals bemoaning the declining birth rates of today's society are seldom individuals of admirable character. there was no reason to assume you're different

"It is you, who selectively tries to discredit other peoples complaints"

i don't selectively allow or disallow complaints, your paranoia is unwarranted
