… anyone have foreseen the tragedy that awaited them? The 20th century (Old Calendar) reification of a rough gender binary had reached its apotheosis and like all such apogees it was soon to be riven, split by the seeds that had fallen into the hidden cracks of its apparently pristine edifice.

“Hahaha,” laughed the CPC Chairman, gesturing towards the smog-choked city outside. “Now this mess is your problem instead of mine! I’m free! I’m free!”
Mr. Liu continued to laugh as the NATO soldiers lead him away towards the armored convoy.
Conversely, Chinese soldiers in the streets of Washington DC will be greeted as liberators.
No, you see, they support California’s secession as a pretext to partition the US and establish a presence in North America.
At this point, I have to wonder if the Communist Party of China could govern California better than the California voters.
Alternatively…

Now consider the consequences if this is relatively common - or at least if men believe it is relatively common.
Would male gender norms, with all their fear of deviation, and desire to be high-status and dominant and on top of a hierarchy of masculinity, look like they do today? Would the norms be seemingly stubbornly resistant to change in ways that can’t be adequately explained by Feminist theories about gender?
I’m not sure how to untangle it, and how much is cultural vs deeper human psychology.
“Yes,” said the technician. “We got the test results back, and well…” The look on her face was very grim.
Bernstein was aghast. They had all agreed to pass the law. They had all agreed that it was wrong and immoral to have sexual thoughts about others who didn’t want to be thought of sexually.
And, since one couldn’t know who was or was not okay with being thought of sexually beforehand, it was a moral necessity that humanity should default to asexuality. Gender discrimination and sexual crimes had dropped off significantly. Only an underground of resentful dissidents had refused to comply.
“Surely it can’t be,” said Bernstein. “She couldn’t be that reckless. It’s impossible.” He let out a second “impossible” under his breath, just barely audible, as he stared at the technician.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Bernstein,” said the technician, “she’s sex-positive.”
There’s this…. aesthetic? I don’t know if that’s the right word. It’s this “style” that pops up in certain internet communities or forums or chatrooms. This style features things like:
* Using lots of action-emoticons like *blushes and nibbles on lip*
* Using cutsey words like “glomp” and “snuggle”
* Innocence and child-like aesthetics, word usage, and attitudes
* High overlap with the kink community, so familiarity or references to things like dom/subbyness.
* Strong affiliation with anime, with avatars and shared images being almost entirely anime.
* High and dispersed “slutty”(?) affectionateness. Anyone may be glomped or tickled, with naughtiness being an assumed hidden but universal trait. Reminds me of the feeling of cuddle parties.
* High sexual undertones, although this generally exists on a spectrum depending on the community. Can range from “innocent” flirting to full on cybering.
* Association with the queer community
I have questions about this but I don’t even know exactly what I want to find out.
Why the high overlap with anime? Why the babylike combination with sexual promiscuity? I feel like I understand “littlespace” kinks, but this seems different for some reason. Why so much glomping, blushing, and arm pinning? And more importantly, why do they all happen together at the same time so often?
It’s such a heavy and permeating style. I’ll see regular chatrooms that operate pretty normally, except everyone talks like that and has anime avatars. Why? I can’t think of any comparable instance where other “regular chatrooms” operate under an aesthetic so pervasive. I’m assuming engaging in this…. not-quite-roleplay? gives some sense of validation or excitement or security or something, but I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out what it is. Can someone help explain?
I mean, I’m assuming your avatar is a picture of you. So you’re attractive and female, which means that:
These groups are going to involve people whose affection is usually treated as unwanted, undesirable, oppressive, or even evil. But they still have that drive for affection, to want to be loved, to be desirable. A lot of what you’re probably seeing is that the left half of the bell curve for gender presentation for men has been reserved only for gay men, combined with the side effects of (low-status) men being seen as disgusting and a threat.
I’m actually expecting pretty substantial defections from having male or purely male bodies in the early transhuman era, until masculinity performance is so utterly broken by transhuman body choice and bi/pansexuality becomes so normal that the threat narrative collapses and it returns to a more even distribution.
@sinesalvatorem A while back in reference to this post about a different video decrying sexual racism you said:
Someday, someone is going to 100% seriously claim that gay men and straight women are sexist for not finding women hot, and I am going to bash my skull in against a gay rights monument.
Well. um. I hope you won’t feel the need to bash your skull against anything, but:
In the comments of this video, someone made this excellent critique:
I very much disagree that a sexual preference can be “racism”… Similarly, the fact that I have no sexual preference for men does not make me sexist. What you find attractive is not something you consciously control, so it is wrong to put the label “racist” on it.
I’m curious, Lindsey, if you would consider anyone who is not pan/bisexual to be sexist. If not then why the double standard?
and in her response she said:
…indeed if we preference “race” and call it racism, then preference for “sex” or “gender” would be sexist. It’s not what this episode is about so I didn’t bring it up but I think it is where the world is going. We’re going to realize that sexual orientation, like racial preference is a form of discrimination and have to muddle through what that means and whether or not to change it.
(This is not just anyone saying this, it’s a popular internet sex educator, who is also a clinical sexologist… so yeah I find this pretty fucking horrifying.)
(Also, oh my god, how obvious is it that this is The Worst Argument in the World. Racial/gendered sexual preference = racial/gender discrimination, racial/gender discrimination = racism/sexism, racism/sexism = bad.)

I don’t usually feel this intensely about politics but no no no you may never be allowed to have power I cannot allow this person to have power you can’t do that to people can Lindsey Doe please stop existing
This is so so horrifying. I actually liked this show when it first came out, and then I forgot about it, and now I come back and it’s evil?
Most of why I’m so viscerally upset is that her reasoning is this is “where the world is going”. That the inevitable moral arc of the universe must tend toward sexual coercion. “It’s the current year, lesbians! Just let men rape you just do it!”
No no no resist modernity do not accept be martyred to hold hell back no no no
This kind of thing contributes to language where someone’s sexuality (say, men’s) is presented as fundamentally evil and oppressive just for existing, since ordinary methods of refusing to have sex (where just not feeling like it would be acceptable) have been removed. Very dangerous indeed.
