intro post because sometimes I interact with people

I'm sprout, butch sapphic demisexual demigirl (I love label girlthing also)

I don't really care who you are while you don't act weird

NO AI, NO NFT.

I'm non native eng speaker and sometimes I don't understand slang or abbreviation + I have generally another perspective on life than some westerners. Check your orientalist opinions, and use metric system as a civilized person, what's the point to have your own measurements like we are in the middle ages..?

I don't want to speak about where I'm from. Embrace my slavic sadness and dig my eastern european vibe. And don't romanticize USSR on my watch 👁️👁️ but if you have questions about why soviet union was not a place to thrive, jump in and ask me about it. I think it can be cool to form connections based on mutual curiosity about historical research and generational trauma lol.

I'm autistic + I have depression, cPTSD and a passion for disabled people's rights. I'm also into reading other disabled people's experiences, not only about mental disorders. For the most of my life I was really short-sighted and scared of going blind, and it changed me fundamentally

I'm a cat person, and I love snakes, lizards and birds! Show me your local bird pls. Or plant. I'm a little like agent Cooper of twin peaks.

I don't get sarcasm. I don't understand rage baits and fake stories. I buy into them sometimes. Not like your grandma, more like a really sleepy or stoned dude. I just don't have enough context to understand if the shit is absurd... Common sense is a joke to me

I prefer not to engage with any content about sexual violence and IRL romantic relationships. Imaginary romance is ok.

Alcohol is not my thing also. Have you ever noticed how often alcohol is used in romantic media? I'm not a kid or a Mormon or something, but I'd love to see ppl acting on their feelings without alcohol at least sometimes.

If you are a minor, whatever, you can stay. I don't mind you personally. But I'm an adult, and I'm not interested in making my page "safe" for ya. I'm here to be free and suck clitoris. If you feel uncomfortable, close the tab and that's all. I'm not responsible for your mental health. It's on you.

Don't text me about your fundraiser, I legally cannot send you money. I'll block you and that's all.

Reach out if you have a pet or a wildlife to show me! But don't expect me to be an amusing conversation, I don't find joy in small talk with strangers

have a great day and thank you for reading this haha

Anyone can be discarded by society

[knifefightscene]

People get made fun of for being scared of aging but it comes from the very real fear of being discarded by society that’s why i always say the goal is not to never become old or disabled the future comes for us all the goal is better social policy

What Do You Find Attractive in a Woman?

I’ve seen so many girls and women talk about the “female gaze,” and I’m sure you all have too. But I want to try and put a finger on what exactly the female gaze is. WHAT do women find attractive? And more importantly, what do women find attractive in other women? So I was wondering what do y'all, as women who are attracted to women, find attractive in a partner? Whether it be physical or internal, what traits draw you to a woman? Is it different than the things that men typically find attractive (ie. big boobs, big butt, etc.)? Are there things that you’ve noticed in your experience that you value in a female partner more than a man does??

(If this has already been asked before, my apologies!! I’m new-ish to reddit and this is like my second post!)

Some standout replies:

SparkleSelkie: Competency. Like watching a woman do something and be really good at it is my number one turn on

Madicat16: So best explanation I’ve seen in how to differentiate the male gaze from the female gaze is to watch Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman, and then Joss Whedon’s Justice League and see the difference in how they frame Gal Gadot throughout the movie. In Wonder Woman the camera isn’t always lingering on her body in a sexualized way. It’s framing her as a person within the scene, focusing on what she is going, her intentions of being there, basically having a purpose, and having the audience focus on her heroism and commanding presence. All while still focusing on her being the most beautiful person in the room (you can agree or disagree on Gal Gadot, we’re just using the movie as an example here). In Whedon’s Justice League (and only Whedon’s version. Not touching the Synder cut because that opens a can of worms regarding the male gaze on men and homoeroticism in straight media, also not touching on how problematic Whedon is in general) the camera is basically always sexualizing Wonder Woman. The camera is always positioned in a way to draw attention to her body, or shots are framed so you’re basically only looking at her ass. And her overall presence goes from warrior goddess to pretty lady team member. Yes it’s an ensemble film, but she is literally treated like eye candy. So yeah that is a super basic way to see the difference. Now when it comes to lesbians????? I feel we straddle the line between the two. Majority of the time, it’s a Patty Jenkins’s way of viewing women, and then other times it’s the male gaze hornball way of viewing women. I’m guilty of the two.

Carl_weez_her: Everything. Lol. But honestly confidence and self assurance are what I like. And also someone who is always honest with how they feel.

JenningsWigService: Nice hands, beautiful smile, and I love a good conversationalist. I don’t have body type preferences, all boobs are great, all asses are great.

Inevitable-Yam-702: Confidence and the energy she carries herself with is the thing that will get me everytime. I do appreciate physical features too, boobs are great and I really appreciate them, I love a bigger woman to hold, etc., but it’s more about the whole package than breaking women down to constituent parts.

As a demisexual I should say: emotional vulnerability. Compassion. And I love how women usually do not try to become the loudest person in the room (not everyone of course, but it's a common trait). They see im struggling to understand when it's my turn to speak so they say "let sprout speak!" to help me out

Never in my life a man did that, but the girls who barely knew me? Yes

I love when a woman have a subject she would talk about for ages. And when she can lead the conversation when I'm too tired to do that. I'm generally the one who entertains and comes up with a theme to fill the silence, and people tend to expect me to do it for them all the time as soon as they know I m good at it. But the best women know to give me a break sometimes. They know the weight of emotional labor like this and they don't want to just exploit my willingness to manage the conversation. I can initiate stuff, organize stuff, remind you about my existence all the time, etc... But if there's no mutual effort I get exhausted after a while.

Also I have my weaknesses in terms of physical appearances, of course, but I won't elaborate

I'm gonna ask for your help in a form of a donation for the first time in my life now (it's scary). The thing is:

We want to make gay marriage in Latvia legal.

Last year the Strasbourg Court made a decision that all the marriages concluded in EU should be recognized in all of the countries of EU. But there's an issue: Latvia ignores this document referring to a Constitution that says "the marriage is a union of a man and a woman". Sounds familiar, right?*

The similiar situation was in Poland, but last year a queer couple sued for their marriage to be recognized and won. So now the queer marriage in Poland is legal.

I was introduced to a gay couple (one person has a Russian passport just like me) who are suing Latvia on the same matter. Vika and me decided to go to the court too. If they get rejected, we will be right behind them, showing Latvia we would not give up. The pressure like this works best for this kind of legal cases.

To strengthen the case as much as possible, we have to go to the court right now: by a pure miracle we've filed all the documents already and the day of the marriage is to be June 20. To make things this fast we payed ~1000 euros.

The trip and the housing cost for two people is approximately 700 euros more. It's a lot of money for us.

*my note: in 2020 Russia made amendments to the Constitution that stated that the marriage is "a union of a man and a woman". Before that there was nothing on that matter said directly in the Constitution, marriage was covered with a federal law. Polish Constitution says the same.

Another note: it's a very promising route of LGBTQ+ marriage activism. Regarding Poland, May 2026:

[sua-sponte-deactivated20200331]

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

When people tell how they ended up in gamedev, the story is usually like "I was always a gamer"

They loved gaming as long as they were alive, never stopped dreaming, etc. I bet, people who knew me as a jun/middle schooler would be puzzled to know I ended up as a gamedev worker. And I did it not by accident but because I really wanted it and worked for it for the most of my life.

I just came from another door. Gamedev requires a lot of hard work. And usually people get there because they are passionate and they are ready to cope with the industry being tough. It pays off sometimes.

And I was like "I am a hard working artist, but not a very gifted one. What can I do?"

And gamedev clicked for me.

As a kid I looked down on kids who played games on their phone because adults said it was a bad thing. Playing games on PC was rather fine, but I did it alone in my room, so there was almost no peers who knew I actually love gaming. In class I was always like "you shouldn't waste time on games! Games are addictive! Phones are stupid!! 😡"

Back then the main thing phones could do is calling and performing as a primitive console. No internet. And it was always an issue when kids got distracted to play on their phones. One classmate even stole several phones because he wanted to play games on them! To me it was a clear evidence of so called ADDICTION.

and then my schedule became so busy I barely could play anything. Sometimes I played Sims 3. But for a long time that was all I could have. Also I had no access to games, I could not get a license, but piracy always ended up with a tragedy of virus on a family computer. And I was yelled at for this.

And then as a 17 y o I got more freedom and I started to play again. Steam was already there, I had my own money, and gaming was a pleasure I could afford. It will take time to gain friends who loved this hobby too, but I'll get there.

At 18 I enrolled to uni to become a 2D artist for game development.
