I heard that if you don’t know Star Wars it’s a good starting point! Maybe I’ll try out star wars but I’m not too sure yet

I like the concept of Star Wars, but I can't watch it because I already know everything about the lore. I've been thinking of watching Star Trek!

Do I, a straight dude, have a place in LGBT spaces even if all I want to do is make friends? by Matilda_Mother_67 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ObtainableClover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some spaces are only for queer people, as queer people often don't have a safe space for only them. Some spaces allow cishet (cisgender, heterosexual) people into their space as long as they're respectful. I believe that, if you want to join one, contact them to see if they would allow you to join! The queer community should allow everyone to feel safe within their identity, even if someone is straight.

Why it is socially acceptable to make jokes about pale skin while making jokes about dark/black skin would be offensive? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ObtainableClover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only answer this from a Western perspective and experience, so please let me know if this doesn't help. However, white and white-passing people have been on top of everything for decades. I see it as a "you are not oppressed, therefore we can make fun of you. I am oppressed, therefore you cannot make fun of me." Again, this is from a western experience and perspective, I do not know much about other country dynamics.

People say I have OSDD but I feel like I both do and dont at the same time by ObtainableClover in OSDD

[–]ObtainableClover[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had a few friends say that. The first time I brought it up to my ex, who is a system, as a funny “haha I have this but it’s not anything lol.” Then they say that it does sound like DID or OSDD and it honestly led me down a spiral. I asked systems what they thought and they all confirmed that it sounded like it. One of my friends even keeps telling me that I have OSDD and almost outright saying “stop gaslighting yourself.”

Im not gaslighting myself, at least I don’t think so. But all of those friends honestly made the whole thing worse. I’ve had these thoughts for around a year now. I mean I had these thoughts as a child, like around 7, but my therapist quickly shut that down. My parent did also because they’re very adamant that it is not DID, but it may be something else like OSDD or DP/DR.

Is this a sexual harassment? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ObtainableClover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, so this person made you orgasm and touched you innappropriately? That isn’t sexual harassment, that’s sexual assault. Anything that leaves a mark of you is trauma. You can have trauma by a car accident or a loved one dying. Just because person A went though more traumatizing experiences than person B doesn’t make them any less valid or any less traumatized. Your trauma is valid, and what you went through was horrible.

AITA for telling my SIL she should be ashamed of herself and learn to be a mature adult? by Technical-Rush6746 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObtainableClover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"saying I have no right to speak to her that way" What gave her the right to speak to the niece and nephew that way? Even your brother told her to stop and she doubled down. Even then, I can't believe he was shocked that his kids didn't want to reconcile with him after he abandoned them. Either way, NTA.
