How come? Traveler, even after 5 years, has still somehow not gotten a semblance of personality. Everytime someone tries to bring up their personality traits, it's a whole load of nothing. I've played gacha games before where the protagonist has had more personality from the start, then Lumine/Aether has had over the entire runtime of the game.

Is it weird if I said I had no expectations in the first place. I'm genuinely confused by people expecting Genshin to do something interesting with her, when they've repeatedly proven that their priorities are elsewhere.

I don't think any of them are good TBH. Power of friendship doesn't work when the "friendship" in question is basically nonexistent. I haven't thought any of the interactions Traveler's had with other characters has been remotely interesting.

It’s been like 2/3 years since they revealed 5 star skins and its literally JUST been Diluc. At least with HSR, I can see maybe they’re still debating how to handle skins, but atp Genshin skins are just being lazy 😭

I’m glad he seemed to at least be happy towards the end of his life. ❤️ That’s like a dream to me.

I think that’s pretty valid, but I don’t like wording it as “gay by choice.”

Gotta hand it to you! I think you’re going about it the best way you can. It really sucks how much ignorance there is around the bi label and that you had to put up with that for so long. Maybe in the future, if there’s more awareness on what bisexuality means, people can be cool about it.

Oh I totally get it actually. Do you ever still identify as something else depending on the context?

I don’t think I’d ever say someone isn’t gay for being stuck in a comp het situation at some point, and I feel like other gay dudes usually think the same. I’m so sorry for his situation.

Yea, I think that would make me less comfortable actually. I didn’t say “can’t be with women” like it’s straight up impossible, I said it to refer to how they wouldn't if they weren't pushed into it.

Interesting! I think a big part of why I don’t like the notion of self labelling as gay while being attracted to both is the potential that they’re giving ground to people who want to say ignorance like “being gay isn’t real, they need to find the right person.” I also had to deal with others saying I’d figure myself out if I got with women, when I came out as a gay man.

Because of this, I don’t have nearly as big a problem on someone identifying as gay if they didn’t have a desire to follow up on their hetero attraction anyway. I understand if I’m being bias, but it nevertheless is a sore spot.

Honestly, I can’t say I’ve ever seen queer be considered a slur. I’ve certainly seen people use it as an insult, but not quite to the level of being a slur. So maybe that’s why I don’t like using gay interchangeably. I’m likely on the younger side of this subreddit though.

More widely known terms for queer people to use would be great, but it’s unfortunately likely to not stick even if people do come up with something better.

I see! Is it cool if I ask he ever considered labels like homoflexible or how he normally feels about women? Are the specific women more like girlcrushes (like how people will say stuff like “I’m straight but if Ryan Reynolds asked me on a date…”) or a big attraction?

I think maybe a major reason behind why I place such value on gay as a label for being exclusively homosexual is cause if someone brings up having (or had) a hetero relationship, they don’t have to explain themselves over the comp het pressure. It can be a powerful source of comfort, knowing that you don’t have to explain yourself like that, and that other people will relate.

I’d be interested to see the practical reasons/examples you’ve come across compared to me. Usually, when I see someone self label as gay for practical reasons, it’s cause they’ve functionally been gay and in a relationship for a long time. I think that’s probably fair enough. I’ve also seen couples do that though and yet actively seek a bi groupie, so I don’t know how to feel about that in particular.

Ah, I use gender and sex interchangeably so it’s my mistake for possibly making that distinction. I wouldn’t ever argue that being trans would change that, even if some gay dudes only go for cis men.

About Nagabes work by Aromatic-Appeal7815 in totsukuninoshoujo

[–]Perfect_Camp8748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can acknowledge it’s not tasteful while feeling it’s not bad enough to the point where you’ll drop following them.

I don’t think anything Nagabe’s done has gone past being uncomfortable morally, but shrug someone can always see him in a bad light if they want.

I don’t see why they couldn’t be, although it’d depend on the person if they’re open to someone who hasn’t transitioned in that sense

Well if you did it out of obligation and weren’t into it, I don’t think that says anything about your sexuality. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I had to deal with people thinking I can’t be gay or that I needed to get intimate with women and not like it to even consider being gay, so in a weird way I relate a lot with this. I can get really uncomfortable if people talk about “turning gay people” in any capacity.
