formerlyarandomguy said: I dunno, the chatrooms I’ve spent my time in weren’t quite as unified in their “glompyness” as the ones you’re talking about, but finding myself attracted to multiple people in that environment was pretty easy, and it was something I saw reflected in others.

This sounds like autism or something adjacent to it, which at least fits the stereotypes.

tangledraven said: The whole not so subtle subby signaling was because prior to then you had to read news papers, or bulletin boards to find kinky people. It was pretty underground so this was a new and not so common form of communication. Plus no widespread use of cellphones mean that this was where you were sexting. Why you would want to hold on to this nostalgia I don’t know. There are much better ways to communicate now. I guess the best times were from then?

tangledraven said: So this is a late 90’s/early 00’s Internet esthetic. There were no photo sharing sites or apps. The internet was new, Anime was exciting because it signaled you weren’t stuck in an American bubble. You surfed the net! You used *actions* because there were very few emoticons and there wasn’t a common reference set for a lot of interactions. There were no internet memes to share so you used words. Feminist bravery was signaling you were female in a very male space.
