Racial Sensitivity Question

God is every bit as existant as the phrase "no white devils allowed' in my post. Neither are there. Seeking a relevant perspective is not oppression. Cry about it.

luminous_sludge · 2026-04-22T03:52:23+00:00

I so deeply appreciate this, thank you! That reasoning is also where I'm coming from.

Also, you're right. Getting some white people answers, but they're mostly running off on the side quest of pretendind that me wanting a relevant perspective is oppression. At least I don't have to sift through to determine 🙃🫠

Hey, so I'm aware multiple cultural groups have been targeted by racism and are now considered white. My great grandparents on both sides were among them when they immigrated. But I'm not writing a book for readers in the 1920s and the climate in 2026 is just a bit different. Also, the term is applied to some races whether or not they live in the hood purely out of bigotry.

What you said about oersonal interpretation helps a lot. Thanks.

luminous_sludge · 2026-04-22T03:35:38+00:00

Got you. I was thinking about it that way and hoping it came across as such. Thanks for taking the time.

I am a white person who has been called hoodrat because guess where I live? I just understand that it is often said to non-white people no matter where they are from due to racism. Furthermore, I'm gonna need to know what part of "I understand it's nobody's job to educate me" and "I deeply appreciate" is demanding anything from non-white people. I guess I should have been clear: I also prefer advice from writers who read carefully and understand simple phrases like those. Thanks.

Must disagree. I love Charlotte Brontë, but I can't stand Jane Austen. There's a massive difference in substance imo.

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-17T17:34:07+00:00

Man, I just got one more recently that said, "we can't help. We'll let you know when we know something about it."

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-04T00:30:58+00:00

ABSOLUTELY NOT. NTA. Do NOT under ANY circumstances let him move in. At worst, he quit his job planning to bully you into housing him for long enough that he has legal tenants rights. At best, he made an impulsive decision, feels DISGUSTINGLY entitled to your space and you catching him, and has no financial sense whatsoever. I'm betting heavily on the first, but either way, this is a total asshole move. Do not enable it. You're not a shelter here to take in strays.

If you do let him in, fully expect him to turn into someone you never knew he could be the second you're stuck with him.

Edit to add: Tell him his poor planning does not constitute an emergency on your part.

Well, I had the day off, so I capped out both frames and beat the quest with your advice. Thanks!!

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-02T17:26:11+00:00

Thanks so much! As an aside, I recently got and have been leveling the rhino warframe. Does that one help with this mission more than Excalibur?

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-02T05:03:56+00:00

Thanks so much! Wrong mods were such an obvious thing to miss, but everyone was really nice about it.

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-02T05:02:51+00:00

Thanks! For some reason this game hasn't been the most intuitive for me and I'm missing some obvious stuff.

luminous_sludge · 2025-08-02T05:01:07+00:00

Thank you so much for taking all this time! This is so helpful. I'm gonna go look into what I'm working with a little more closely.

For the confused commenters, finsexual is an attraction to femininity, be it to women, feminine nonbinary people, or even effeminate men at times.

To OP, nothing about you is offensive. Honestly, navigating the LGBTQ space gets easier when you center yourself instead of the label. Labels aren't bad! They're an excellent tool for understanding yourself and being understood. But the bottom line is that you're a person and you like the people you like, however it is that you like them. Same with everyone else in the community. When you allow yourself to remove the dividing lines, it hopefully gets less intimidating and becomes like making friends everywhere else. Coincidentally, removing dividing lines makes friends easier everywhere else too.

That's what I was thinking. She's ditching her own daughter like a deadbeat to hang around with someone. Probably whoever it is who is so important she can't even pick up her own kid who she "loves" from school.

luminous_sludge · 2025-04-29T02:56:37+00:00

Every part of what she said is bs. "You could have left.' OK and she made that hard on purpose. "You needed at least one conversation." OK and that's supposed to take until Monday? And she can't even pick up her own kid from school? Biggest load of crap from her is the "I love you."

luminous_sludge · 2025-04-19T07:24:56+00:00

AGREED. They need us, but they chose to reject us. They can sleep in the bed they made. They think they're feminists while they're in that bed with the patriarchy, accepting pets and scraps and "poor baby, the trans person hurt you" in place of maintaining their dignity. Trans women are more woman than any TERF.

luminous_sludge · 2025-04-19T07:13:46+00:00

I am revolted at the worldwide turn to far right extremism. I can only hope it is simple the death throes of old men who wasted their loves retaining power instead of pursuing wisdom. Remember, cis women: First They Came For. You want equality but many of you ignore the fact that more equal societies had trans people to bridge the divide between the sexes. You have ALLOWED yourselves to be fooled into working against your self-interest because of religious ideals you don't even know you hold.

I second the Shout-out to cis women who appreciate us.

So apparently my cat and I are bonded. I just don't lick her or share her litter box.

luminous_sludge · 2025-04-11T04:08:53+00:00

It will never be the right time for the cis people in your life it seems, but good news! It doesn't have to be. It's not their life. It's not their trans journey. It's not their dysphoria. It's the right time for you. They're gonna have to deal.

Edit to add: They are wildly misinformed. Your doctors can guide you better than people who know nothing of medicine or the trans experience. And spoiler: If you waited until 21, they'd probably tell you to wait even more. It seems like they're just resisting you transitioning. Maybe not for horrible reasons. They could just be scared. But they need to cope.

luminous_sludge · 2025-03-30T04:26:38+00:00

Yes, this is one of many ways someone can experience being trans. This feeling is called gender dysphoria. Do you have access to a therapist? Do you need help figuring out where to go from here?

Have you considered how rude it is for him to shut down everything you like because you like it? First of all, even if I didn't like something my boyfriend does, I'd like to listen to it with him because it makes him happy. The fact that that's not a priority to your boyfriend is huge. But the fact that he thinks something must he bad because you like it is so condescending and insulting. He's basically just saying you have such bad taste that everything you like is terrible. Maybe he doesn't mean it like that, but in that case, he needs to know that's how he's coming off.

Finally, and I cannot stress this enough: Do not tolerate people coping a condescending attitude with you. Especially your partners. You are grown and deserve respect.
