I already pointed out that I do not personally post from work.
You are aware that there are asexuals, and straight men, on this thread as well, correct? You are aware that they are sometimes INTENSELY uncomfortable at the degree of rather intimate talk we've had?
<much snipping of a great post>
First time I've outed this to anyone I didn't know in reality, but, I identify somewhere on the asexual spectrum, and while a smattering of more artistic innuendo or jokes doesn't usually bother me, it can and does hit a point where I no longer feel welcome in a place. It has happened before, with a ME2 fangroup here. I really liked being about those ladies and gents, until every third post was about the shape, size, look of the reproductive organ of said character, and endless...you know, it wasn't even erotica, it was just really crass smut. These things don't offend me so much as they bore, bewilder, and alienate me, and so eventually I had to leave. The few times I tried to prevent my side I was insinuated to be prudish or far too conservative. I finally threw my hands up and just quietly quit the group. Maybe it was me and I'm just awful at presenting my misgivings, who knows.
I don't mind the more tasteful stuff really, but when it gets to be constant, and crass, I tune out and wander off. There is also, yes the reality that the overt things is why the char sections were axed in the ME days, and I don't think we want that. I've also enjoyed how till now, most things were tagged, or tasteful. I would hope to continue that.
But you know. Stuff, and thaaangs. /rickgrimes.
