Minho:... For an escape room.

Chan: What kind of an escape room costs $2,500!?

Minho: Jail.

"this character is autistic coded so headcanoning them as aro/ace is wrong because you're reinforcing the idea that autistic people are incapable of having romantic or sexual relationships" DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY ASPEC PEOPLE ARE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM

ID: the Hard to Swallow Pills meme. The hard to swallow statement is: People viewing a fictional relationship as a QPR/Platonic one isn't homophobic. You just view romantic love as the peak of queerness and treat other expressions of intimacy as being inherently lesser than it. / end ID

Does it ever drive you crazy?

Just how fast the night changes?

Random, possibly very specific asexual experience: "Is this sexual attraction, or am I just horny?"

And its aromantic counterpart: "Is this romantic attraction, or am I just lonely?"

This is just a fun reminder that just because someone doesn't feel one form of attraction doesn't mean they have to compensate by feeling another. People can be anattractional or simply not feel attraction to someone.

And, with that same note, you don't have to feel attraction to someone to love them or be attached to them. Attraction isn't the end all, be all to relationships (of any form). Relationships (of any form) can exist without attraction.

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

[charlesoberonn]

To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

[charlesoberonn]

The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.

BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.

The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.

I think this model is the best one for several reasons:

It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups

It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.

It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

[charlesoberonn]

This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.

#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of

yah that goes in the post

[charlesoberonn]

The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.
