#I won't be tagging it

I dunno, the 'non-men for non-men' definition irks me. Why is it about not being attracted to men instead of about being attracted to women? A woman-loving woman sounds much more accepting and less focused on reiterating how unattractive you find men. Isn't it about loving women and celebrating your attraction to them? Isn't that what people are fighting for?

I suppose it brings up the idea of nblw, but I'd also argue the current non-men definition excludes multi-gender woman-attracted people. What's a bigender person (who in this example identifies as a man and woman) who is only attracted to women? Are they no longer a part of the community simply because they also feel connection to manhood?

What about gender fluid people? Can they only identify with being a lesbian when they feel strictly unaligned with being a man? What if it's blurred? How little 'man' does one have to be to fit in the box?

I often hear, "Just use sapphic!" Just one internet search reveals the definition of sapphic (as defined in dictionaries) as relating to lesbianism. Why force them into the term sapphic when that may not feel accurate to their identity? Why force them away at all? Why not accept them as a member of a community and a fellow queer person? Why not offer them shelter and safety on the basis of community and fellowship?

I guess my question is: why are people so determined to divide others on the basis of their specific identity? Isn't the beauty of existence and diversity that people are, you know, diverse? How can a community be formed and be sustained on pillars of hatred and exclusionism? If you exclude materials from a structure, it's going to crack and break. How is removing fellow community members from the foundation of community any different? I don't expect people to have a personal understanding or connection to others' experiences. I just ask that people start treating other queer people as what they are: people who are going through, have gone through, or will highly likely go through bigotry and hatred from those who cannot stand anyone not like themselves (read: strictly cishet). I ask that the community treat those who do not fit in the box as an equal in queerness, not a rival in a competition of the most 'valid' queer.

Maybe we should just all get on with our lives and stop arguing over this. I really truly do believe in-fighting will only tear the community apart and break down defense and progress. People are regularly killed over liking women in a queer way in the first place. Why make it harder for the vulnerable to find safety? Is taking away the safe space not a piece in needless death?

(I don't expect this to spread far, but just in case: please read my OP tags on this post. This is not said in an angry tone. It's said in a sad, civil, and exasperated one.)

okay so what actually lives rent free in my head is this line

because like, viktor, girlie pop, what DO YOU MEAN???? this man has KILLED YOU and after THAT you had a homoerotic fight where after you wrapped your legs around him and choked him he rejected you and destroyed your little robot avatar that shed tears about it

and at the peak of your no emotions no free will evolution you are "... pleased to see him" PLEASED?? to?? see?? him??

truly a fatal case of gay yearning

ANNIVERSARY GROOVY BOYBAND! THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD, I also love the hades reference with idia! Ik ur probably really swamped with the book 7 brain rot but I wanted to know ur thoughts. I also wanted to mention that I am so card deprived I feel like I need a replacement event to take tsumderlands place

AUGH NO I LOVE THEM. 😭 UGH now I really have to think about if I want to try pulling for Grim again. dangit. heck. I already got his little pedestal to add my guest room shrine, but...now I kinda need the boss himself...

also, the implications of it not being an OB thing, Idia can just. Do That? apparently? do you think he ever just sometimes does it by accident? what am I saying, he absolutely sometimes does it by accident.

gosh though. this event has been SO cute in general! I was wondering who'd get the focus for year 5; I could not be happier that the answer is apparently EVERYBODY. :D all the dorms get their own special songs! so many cute little scenes!!! the lowest of stakes bringing out the highest of pettiness in everyone!!!!!! it's excellent.

(also, because I will make literally anything about my diaboys...I know these events are typically sorta, let's say chronologically unmoored with regards to story. but the further implications that this takes place pre-episode 7/Malleus' Big Existential Crisis, and yet...some of these lines?)
