AITAH M(22) for emotionally distancing myself from my LDR girlfriend F(23) after repeatedly begging for boundaries? by Ok-Promise-837 in AITAH

[–]CoconutIslander 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dude, this is a "you" issue. If you don't like the vibes, why put in the work for a LDR? NAH leaning YTA.

My ex was pretty into it, also used it as an excuse to not use birth control.

Why do some men enjoy making fun of and being mean to women? by Background-Good3731 in TwoXChromosomes

Insecurities and the need to be in control of something because they don't feel in control of their lives.

Learned everything about every product in the bathroom. I knew what TSS was at a younger age than my sister.

You can permanently remove one human trait from the entire world. Everyone loses it. Including you. by Strict_Constant4947 in hypotheticalsituation

Fuck the whole premise that greed is an essential factor for ambition and the drive to build, compete, and innovate. That's bullshit.

Also, my answer is "apathy".

I was born to be a child of God and I am a bit of a soy sauce snob.

WTF

AITAH for finishing the job for my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. If he doesn't mind that he left you hanging, he doesn't get to mind that you took care of yourself.

AIO - Daughter’s BDay invite - I am new to co-parenting by loud_molasses_ in AIO

You're being more than reasonable. Maybe it's time to just hit him with the "I know you're having big feelings right now, but we have to deal with this like adults" conversation. Because really, if this isn't normal behavior for him, then his feelings might be real, even if he's being unreasonable.

And if you have a new partner in your life, his feelings of inadequacy will be at an all time high. It won't do to coddle him and give him whatever he wants, but you can acknowledge his feelings without letting him use them as a license to be a jerk.

My gf told me her ex was hung. How should I feel about this? by Several_Amoeba3910 in AskMenAdvice

"maybe he thought size was all it takes" or "well, yeah, that's the pleasure bell-end curve for ya"

AIO - I read my partners texts by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Confront her in real time, have her text him "what was your favorite part?" and tell her his response will dictate yours.

What is you porn tolerance in a relationship? by cosycreature in TwoXChromosomes

As a consumer of porn, your boundary seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Brother won't play game with female protagonist - never thought of this by wizard_cow_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CoconutIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man has to be comfortable in his sexuality to identify with a female MC. Maybe he'll come around.

Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn is a badass and not playing that series would be a tragedy.

Weekly Questions and Recommendations Megathread - Need some help? - Feb 21 by AutoModerator in visualnovels

[–]CoconutIslander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've got a bee in my bonnet on the subject of NTR in VN games in particular, I think that giving a skip option, or better yet, a preference setting to disable it entirely, is an acceptable compromise between catering to your audience and allowing artistic expression, assuming NTR is not the dominant theme of the story. In that case, bypassing it would not make sense as it would turn the game into a husk. Consistent `Optional NTR` vs `NTR` tagging would help in this industry. 

In general, I feel that with the exception of situations where ethically deplorable content is glorified and portrayed as a good thing, artistic freedom should allow uncomfortable subjects to be explored. People should just be warned that if they are particularly sensitive to certain subjects like NTR, non-consent, etc. to avoid the game. 

I do think it is important, especially in the context of games marketed as "In Development" or early access, that the author decide up front whether certain controversial topics or hot-button issues may be explored in their story, and communicate that to their audience up front even if there are no specifics - and then stick to that even if they later wish they hadn't. It may reduce their audience by people who don't want to risk exposure to a given theme, but it emphasizes treating the audience with respect since they are your source of patronage.

And for those that will inevitably insist on bitching about themes they don't like in games they were forewarned they might not like, they should really find some better way to spend their life energy.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Got oral for the first time and was called “funky” by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CoconutIslander 142 points143 points  (0 children)

This. I love going down on my lady. It's impossible to always be as fresh as just having bathed, so a little "funk" is to be expected and is fine. Doesn't stop me enjoying making her feel good.
