Isaac's First Good Day

[lizardsfromspace]

Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending

[julianova44]

You probably know this but shitpost ruining fun fact for anybody who doesn’t:

When the play first was performed, JM Barrie et al were so concerned this might happen that they instructed the orchestra to drop their instruments and clap at this point, just in case

[lizardsfromspace]

I did not know this and I'm grateful for being informed

Peter Pan edited by Anne Hiebert Alton (2011)

(sorry to interrupt joke post but) this is true!

Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:

Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!" There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."

(Tink was revived each time anyway)

To be clear, I don't mean to judge, only inform, but I think you may be confusing narcissism with narcissus which is understandable; one was named after the other. But despite its namesake, narcissism (or NPD) does not refer to attraction to oneself; that's called autosexuality

Yeah, it was the only thing I knew to compare it to. Either way, it’s certainly not a “normal” thing to be turned on by yourself.

It's usually Yosuke that yearns pathetically, but I think Yu should too, as a treat

[bi-astolfo]

"I’ve never heard of it outside of narcissism." I think you saying this in itself should act as a note to yourself that you're not aware of enough different perspectives to have a nuanced opinion on the matter, if narcissism (so-called or not, given how flipantly the label is thrown around) is truly the only explanation you can think of for someone being attracted to their body. Even the almost 50/50 split on the poll gives a small peak into the fact that it's not as straightforward as you might be inclined to think. In comparison, I actually never personally heard of attraction to one's own body as a direct link to narcissism or in conversations about it, only people with healthy relationships with their bodies and high self-confidence.

Like are we talking about finding yourself attractive of actually being attracted to yourself, because those are two very different things? The original post was about “turning yourself on” not finding yourself attractive.

[pocket-deer-belly]

i feel like being turned on by your own body is so agonizingly normal it's so fucked that that one guy made it a whole diagnosis specifically for trans women. and he's not even dead yet

[bi-astolfo]

Isn’t that some Narcissus level stuff? Also how is it trans women specific? I’m confused. It just makes me think of the likes of Patrick Bateman or, well, Narcissus.

and we still haven't cannibalized him!

[bi-astolfo]

I’m not saying that isn’t somebody’s kink, but yeah it’s total bs to just assign it to a whole demographic. I still don’t think getting turned on by your own body is normal though. I’ve never heard of it outside of narcissism.

[luxomush]

So this very cool trans women band made a song about it !!

[bi-astolfo]

technically estrogen would probably stop the balding but theres other stuff for that too lol

Yeah, I need to get something for it. It was a pain having to put that stuff in my hair everyday because of my schedule. Thinking about getting one of those shampoo things.

[bi-astolfo]

You not being your own type makes sense why you are not turned on by yourself. Now imagine someone who is their own type. It's really, really not that weird and nobody is talking about popping a boner every time they look in the mirror. Also uh. The diagnosis of "narcissism" is as ethically and scientifically questionable as autogynephilia so going "no, no, that sounds like a different diagnosis doctors invented to subjugate people we have decided aren't allowed to feel good about themselves" is sure a choice.

I don’t know, I think narcissism is a thing. Most obviously example these days are people like Donald Trump who seem to deluded themselves into thinking they’re always right or the best or whatever. The Elon Musk types who surround themself with yes-men who just keep up the idea they have for themselves. I don’t know about the diagnostic specifics but I don’t think narcissism is such an outlandish concept.

(don't) be mean to her

[bi-astolfo]

Have you considered taking estrogen

No, I’m quite happy with my body. Ok, well that’s not exactly true. I could stand to lose some weight and I hate that I’m balding but like, nothing estrogen would fix. None of my problems are gender related.
