Romance and Sex Repulsed Discord server!

I've done it! I've made a discord server to Sex and romance repulsed ppl! If you're like me and desperate for a space that accommodates to you and is free of sex and romance talk, then this server is for you!

What is the point of this server?

I made this server in hopes of creating a space for repulsed people, as within the queer and aspec community we don't really have a space for us. This server is made to fill that role and give us all a space free of romance and sex to chat and hang out!

Who is allowed in the server?

The server was made for anyone who is repulsed, averse, or just tired of all the romance and sex talk in all social spaces. As long as you follow the rules and don't bring up romance or sex then you can join the server :)

How do I join?

Only I have the ability to hand out invites for the server so you must DM me if you'd like to join! This is to negate the chance of a possible raid on the server + stop bad actors and trolls from joining and harassing members.

+ This server is safe for aplatonics (and other a-attractions) and loveless folks as well. You can feel free to join knowing that any attacks against you will not be tolerated within the server :)

Honestly part of the problem with this obsession with only consuming unproblematic fiction is that people are less likely to acknowledge when something is harmful. If you so much as say hey this one joke in this one episode was offensive fans will write you an essay on why it wasn’t. Because they’ve created a world view where this is basically accusing them of being a bad person who has committed an unforgivable sin.

so in other news Pokemon is releasing life-sized Eeveelution (+ Eevee) plushies. this would not be particularly noteworthy except for the fact that the plushies are FUCKING HUGE

How animals attack

I feel like we need a massive public education campaign to inform people that "natural" and "healthy" are two completely different words with separate meanings

[hylianengineer]

Uranium is natural. Radon is natural. Infectious diseases and toxic heavy metals and animals that want to eat you are natural. None of these things are healthy.

Vaccines are not natural. Antibiotics are not natural. Multivitamins and indoor plumbing and life-saving surgical procedures are not natural. But they are healthy.

The Rollettes are in a Lady Gaga music video! This is huge! This is amazing!

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

artists all the time: i gave this character/creature misaligned eyes to show that their "head is empty"! i'm so creative and original, no one has ever done this before, a billion times, constantly, every fucking day. what is strabismus? oh, you're just nitpicking! that's a niche issue, therefore it's not an issue at all! everyone says everything is ableist! you people can't do anything

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

[apocryphics]

oh ok
