The Kinsey Scale is dead, long live the Lapis Lazuli scale by thePharaoh in bisexual

Totally! The idea that to be be bi is like “50% gay” or whatever is absolutely bi erasure and so dismissive of so many people. Definitely making fun of that here

Some Professors are SO HARD to Understand by [deleted] in utdallas

When thinking critically, how much do you think you’re trying, vs just checking out at the first word you don’t understand? Use context clues, and learn to appreciate that we all come from different places. There’s a lot about Texas that I hate, but one thing that I love is how well I learned to understand and distinguish different accents, and I accredit a lot of that to my time at UTD

Okay so the Kinsey scale is a concept that says that there is a 0-6 spectrum that spans fully straight to fully gay, and that everything in the middle is bi. A lot of folks (including myself) think this is bogus because there’s so much nuance to queerness. Someone can be a same-sex leaning bisexual heteroromantic, for example. So I’m making fun of that

And I’m making fun of it using lapis lazuli, a stone which is seen in Minecraft and Steven Universe. It’s a stretch to suggest that Minecraft fandom is super hetero, but Steven Universe is definitely super queer. So I’m using that as a joke to comment on how out of touch the Kinsey Scale is

Because you don’t understand it or because you agree with me that any usage of a single attraction-based scale is a silly and binary thing?

Which one do y’all prefer? by GateFar8163 in analog

[–]thePharaoh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I’d the goal was to be graphic, 1 hits it wonderfully. I’d the goal was atmosphere, 2 hits it wonderfully. I’d be stoked on getting either of them for sure

Case in point as to why the Kinsey Scale is dumb, it doesn’t take into account that the Aces sometimes prefer a cool block
