I think a lot of people would benefit from unlearning the idea that casual sex is inherently disgusting, harmful, or immoral just because they personally don’t want to partake in it. You can stand up for sexual safety and consent without acting like people who enjoy fucking strangers are degenerates. I take no issue with anyone asserting boundaries or stating that they’re not interested in certain kinds of sex or even sex as a whole. But when you condemn or express disgust at others for engaging in consensual sex, that’s when you start to sound like a puritan.

Btw, this includes self-proclaimed “feminists” who shame and lecture women for giving men “access” to their bodies. Bodies are not commodities and sex is not inherently transactional. You don’t lose anything by having sex on purpose with a person you find attractive. Sex is not some metaphysically transformative thing that bonds you to the other person forever. It is literally not that deep.

I'm on the asexual spectrum and I will never stop supporting people to do whatever the hell they want with their bodies, with whoever the hell they want. Just as long as they're safe and consenting. And preferably not cheating.

And if the person they're hooking up with has a cute pet, I may demand pictures of it. But other than that, I'm very easy-going about things that are none of my business. (And it's weird that we've reached a point in time where we have to specify that sort of thing.)

Not sure what he's doing up there.

It's genuinely interesting to me that they made him so handsome and yet so unhinged. Were they testing how far pretty privilege will take a character? They could have easily given him a much more generic face! Yet he's arguably the prettiest guy in the game. And the most likely to stab you out of boredom.

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

I feel this in my soul. This is why I write F/M romance, because most commercial stories don't tick my boxes. I write most of my characters as if they're Sims: bi/pan unless explicitly stated otherwise!

If you have this mindset in 2026, YOU need to talk a long internal look if we’re being honest.

Tell me you’ve never played a tomb raider game outside of the trilogy that stripped Lara of everything that made her, HER. That completely changed her backstory and her character (not to mention the torture porn death scenes) without telling me.

Classic Lara was one of the first ever female protagonists in a video game who PAVED THE WAY for every single one that came after. Lara wasn’t a side kick, a love interest or a damsel in distress. She was confident, intelligent, independent, didn’t take any shit, wasn’t a pushover, was strong, she was EMPOWERING.

She was that bitch. And she always will be.

A woman can be attractive, wear fitted clothing and still be intelligent and capable. They’re not mutually exclusive and the fax that you think they ARE says way more about you, your internal sexism and your conversation iaeolgoies.

You were clearly NEVER a fucking fan of Lara Croft in the first place. So kindly get to stepping and let the door hit you on your way out.

All of this!

Also, classic Lara was completely independent, financing her own trips with travel writing AND her motivation was her own, not following in Daddy's footsteps. She went on adventures because she wanted to, and sometimes that is enough of a reason!

To imply that Crystal Dynamics never sexualised Lara is ridiculous. Have you seen the 'wetsuit' from Underworld? The dress from Legend? And the sheer number of unlockable bikinis that serve no purpose at all?

Paintings in Devil's Grief. I assume Banuk? Doesn't quite look like their style, though. Maybe another Nora Seeker.
