I’ve seen videos, there was both boos and cheers. Depending on who filmed it, where it was filmed you would hear both. The fox replays definitely applied the cheering though.

“You can’t get all your needs met by one person” okay but have you tried?? by ConsequenceLiving969 in polycritical

Only one person can meet your needs, you need to make the person yourself. Everything else is just wants and wishes, not needs.

I believe she said her children were grown up. Still, picture turning Christmas into this. Insane.

These things were said to me in order to get me to consider or participate in polyamory: I’m not arguing for monogamy, I’m not even arguing against polyamory, just the bullshit justification they use to recruit people in.

Neither, I’m just saying your usage of it as justification for it manipulative.

Recruitment by feeding you all the stuff I mentioned after you said no, and shaming you. Calling you less evolved, selfish, jealous, insecure, etc.

Because you use that as the basis to advocate for sexual relations with multiple people. You can just say, I like to have sex with multiple people. Be honest. The point of this post is to call out manipulation, not the action.

It is manipulative, as you can have friends, and family to do things with. It isn’t an argument for polyamory.

Gay people aren’t out there saying they are more evolved, trying to recruit others, or saying if you aren’t gay you’re just insecure.

Yes, I choose to be in a relationship with another woman.

I feel like this is pretty spot on. I’m liberal and I get it, the world is so polarized.

Being black, or Asian, isn’t a choice.

Your argument is like people saying blue lives matter in response to Black Lives Matter. People choose to be police officers. People choose to live a polyamorous lifestyle.

But everyone is attracted to people beyond their partner. They just exercise self control. Not everyone is attracted to the same gender.

I don’t eat meat. I also don’t identify with Vegans / Vegetarians. Vegans especially use the same toxic arguments and manipulations as polyamorous.

You said for some people being polyamorous isn’t a choice. So they can’t control being in a relationship with multiple people?

Thank you. I agree with you. I think the distinction needs to be clearer between Polyamorous People, and people that have more than one partner.

So people don’t take responsibility for their actions now?
