we desperately need sex 2

[str-ngeloop]

i just know someone's going to mention kink. girl that's still sex 1. we had to invent BDSM cause we didn't have sex 2. tis but a pale reflection. but it's coming

[str-ngeloop]

kink reaches mayyybe like sex 1.3 if it hits just right

[dizzyghoast]

when sex 2 comes out what sorts of quality of life updates will be included to help draw in people who never really got into sex 1

[str-ngeloop]

more pleasurable. more intellectually stimulating. higher skill ceiling. more dynamic metagame. optionally more mental-emotional alignment between parties. less cleanup. more intuitive. more variety in sensation and activity to match diverse sensory tendencies. smoother integration with parties' coupled emotional processing. and so on

self care is writing non-con fics about my ship and knowing puritans on the internet cannot stop me. #embrace being a pervert to fictional characters

Thank you SO much to everyone who preordered and to all of you who've been reading along week to week! Grabbing your copy now will get you the fully story now + exclusive bonus content 🥳🥳

seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.

This is literally pro-life rhetoric. You are anti-choice.

[prismatic-bell]

This is one of those spots where I'm not sure you can say anything and win. Because:

On one hand, selecting for disability and disorder absolutely is eugenics and should not be encouraged.

On the other hand, we already select for some disabilities and disorders in order to protect the kids who would have them! Tay-Sachs is the obvious example; we do not want these children to die horribly so we try to make sure they're not conceived in the first place.

On the other hand, a potential parent selecting for disability is concerning because not all disabilities show up in the womb, and some are acquired. Do we want to encourage people to become parents if they're already wanting to walk away from any difficulty?

On the other hand, there are disabilities and there are disabilities. What if a potential parent is like "listen, ADHD I can handle, but the disability you're talking about is so severe I don't think I could handle it"? Is that eugenics, or recognizing one's own limits?

On the other hand, if we could ask the fetus "here's what you'll deal with; do you want to live?" would it say yes or no? Some quadriplegics love living. Some amputees who lost part of a leg will say they wish they'd died instead. Every disabled person will have a different answer, including two who have near-identical disabilities and life circumstances. Hell, I'm disabled and whether I'm saying "it doesn't bother me" or "I wish I was anyone else" comes down to the day.

On the other hand, does it make a difference if the answer to "why do you want an abortion" is "I don't want a baby" or "I don't want a baby I perceive as defective"? Do we judge one but not the other? Why?

I could go on like this for hours. I don't think OP is right and I also don't think they're wrong. I'm not sure there is a "right" answer. I definitely don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer. Life is THE most annoying bitch on earth that way sometimes. And insofar as there is an answer, I actually think it lies with creating support, not restricting abortion. Would you still say "abort" if you had an extra $10k a year? What about someone to watch the kiddo on Saturdays so you could have some decompression time? Is there a load-bearing straw we can remove to spare the camel's back, or is the camel simply not capable of hauling this particular shipment of straw?

Sometimes there are no good answers.

[fittingoutjane]

For what it's worth, a lot of abortions related to fetal abnormalities are lethal ones. A lot of people who would be willing to raise a disabled child are not willing to endure several more months of pregnancy for a child who is expected to die soon after birth. They just want it to be over, and I can't see any wrong way to respond to that sort of tragedy.

Abortions for manageable problems or disabilities do, in fact, horrify me, but is it any less horrifying than sex selection abortion? Or someone who really wants to be a parent but can't afford to care for a child? And in all cases, the answer is not to make abortions harder to access but to make parenting easier to do.

[prismatic-bell]

It's funny you compare this to sex-selective abortion, because that's literally what I was thinking of.

[hihogandalfaway]

also... even if the pregnant person is like "I do not want a 'defective' baby no matter what support I get, ew disabled people" - yes it's a bigoted attitude to have and I would much rather they changed it, but ultimately it's an individual choice (as opposed to systemic / legal), and so it is disingenous to use that hypothetical to attack another marginalised group (pregnant and capable of geeting pregnant) when it doesn't do anything to actually support the marginalised group (disabled people) that it invokes

saying "oh but if we deny pregnant people healhcare make abortion easy to get people will abort disabled babies and that's eugenics!" do we maybe not think that there are more effective ways to help disabled people. just maybe.

anger doesn't have to be praxis, people. I would be horrified to meet with my hypothetical pregnant eugenicist but that doesn't make them an effective target

[prismatic-bell]

...yeah, when you put it that way it does make a sucky kind of sense.

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!
