There’s a difference between a porn category existing about a demographic vs a demographic being so fetishized that it’s often seen as a porn category *before* it’s seen as someone’s actual lived experience. See lesbian for example, an identity that is so fetishized by people outside of it that we see lesbians not wanting to call themselves lesbians because it feels like a “dirty word”

but when it’s all you’re viewed for it’s terrible. I don’t care about porn existing I’m tired of being sexualized and fetishized simply because I am queer. you think people see straight people the way they do lesbians, gays, bisexuals, or any sexuality?

Honestly im queer too and I have no idea anymore. I’m not contributing to this issue, I want whatever is best for the collective and I’d rather let experts like you guys figure it out. I’ll worry about the issues you’re not thinking about and dw I’m not gonna bring them up this isn’t oppression Olympics, it’s divide and conquer. Happy pride. Keep fighting the good fight my dear. I honestly am not experienced in this topic but there are fights I can support for the good of all things love & joy

I need you to reread the original post and think really, really hard about how responding to a post about this persons identity is a porn category, and how you responding implies you are indeed addressing porn.

“I bet you think blah blah” my response was “no I don’t” and I proceeded to cite the most well known tenet of empathy, considering how others may experience feelings that I experience. You’re way too combative about your opinions here. Like genuinely to the level of being rude and trying to preach to me? ironic

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and many of the founders of “western society” routinely had same sex relations, cross dressing and drag has been entertainment for centuries.

Yeah I would definitely say that the sex in the first episode was kind of like a hook to shock people and it definitely worked out that way. Though the sex continues to be graphic throughout the series, I find it to be very thought provoking and important for the community. I believe that the show has brought on real change and it feels good to see people in your community getting the same kind of media that straight couples may get as well. It is a real show with real moments, but it isn’t -
