taking you at your word that you're being genuine, this meme is referring to the common situation where a cis man is fetishizing a trans woman while assuming she still has her default hardware (i.e. hasn't had bottom surgery) and asking inappropriate questions to her ("how big is it")

you may direct further questions to me via DM; asking these questions in the context of this meme seems to be being received poorly, for understandable reasons, even if your intentions are genuinely to understand

kind of similar, i read so much gay shit on webtoons that i forget they have (a majority of) straight stuff 💀

since we're talking about "things that could invoke this feeling without one being an egg", i think it's really interesting how i (primarily a homoromantic man) also find girl's love media very relatable. i think it has a lot of overlap with the themes in boys love (social stigma of same sex relationships and whatnot), so it makes sense, but isn't necessarily intuitive

i am also anti-AI, so i understand if you don't want to engage with me. that said, i am curious if you've produced anything of note with your "tool" here. as anti-AI as i am for economic, environmental, moral, and social reasons, i also just don't think it's very useful or good at what it does

i ask more as a query about whether or not anyone has managed to wrangle something useful out of that cursed tech

incidentally, the link you provided is broken for me

i don't think i reinvented the wheel, but if there was a better way to implement authoring frome data with hitboxes, i would love to hear it

feeling pretty good about my 12/25 among these comments (if you swap "as a woman" for "as a trans man")

ladies. 😏

okay, sure, but i am a trans person and i have independently concluded that i don't think it's cool. sure "it's only deadnaming if you think it's literally is the thing we're calling it", but the human brain doesn't work like that; if someone has a strong enough response to it (e.g. they suffered trauma from being deadnamed), then they're going to have that response before they go "oh actually they don't mean it because it's directed at a corp". i don't think "dunking on elon musk, who has plenty of other shit to dunk on" is really worth doing that to somebody

(idk why you keep bringing up he didn't build anything? i know? you don't need to use the word "deadname" to make that point?)

and i'm too lazy to check every room i'm in and be like, "hey, is casually pretending like we're doing this evil shitty thing (that's actually justified bc we're dunking on a shithead!!) going to be a trigger for you?" (which, honestly, would still be better than just assuming it's fine)

(if it's not clear, my issue is more with people who literally use the phrase "i'm going to deadname twitter" or "the only time it's OK to deadname something is twitter" or whatever)

it's like... look, there's a reason we put actual deadnaming content behind a content warning. i'm basically treating it the same way, because even if it is not the literal act of deadnaming a real person, it's still pretending that something traumatic and evil is a cool and normal thing to do, which i do not fuck with, even in jest

i'm not equating the two, i just don't think it's worth triggering trans people who have actually been hurt by deadnaming, just to flex on a faceless piece of shit corporation that does not care and is not hurt by it

(to be clear, this is more about using the literal phrase "i will deadname twitter" than calling x "twitter" itself; for that, see my second point)

i feel like we're in agreement, except for the conclusion we arrived at about it

going to get on my soapbox about X for a moment for two things

1. people who say "twitter is the only time i'll deadname something", like it's a statement that fucking matters at anyone at all, when i don't want deadnaming to EVER be something we're treating as OK

2. calling X "twitter" is just cope for people who can't move off the fucking app and want to pretend like musk didn't successfully take it over, ruin it, and turn it into a nazi child porn site. call it the shit garbage app that it is, the thing you liked called "twitter" is dead

not directed at anyone in particular or you, OP, just wanted to get this off my chest

i genuinely do not "intuitively understand" this idea. there's nothing contradictory about being a hoe and a housewife

can you like, explain this? i really don't understand how having multiple sexual relationships, specifically, diminishes one's ability to have emotionally fulfilling relationships. if anything, i might be inclined to think they would have more emotionally fulfilling relationships 💀

i think the way you're describing the process as "screwing around, forming and cutting off attachments" really shows that you think of it in a very black and white sort of way. one can have casual / fwb sex with their friends, and still have a friend relationship with that person. one can even have one-off sex with an acquaintance or stranger, and even if you never meet again, it doesn't really make it a "cut off" relationship; if you met again, it would be pleasant, circumstances just may not arrange it

just because it's a more emotionally involved process for you or some people you've encountered, doesn't make it a universal truth
