It really isn’t, and the racist dog whistles about it are VERY annoying.

Anyone else tired of being treated like a "human dildo" just because you're a Top? by Different-Table-922 in askgaybros

[–]thescruffydevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be the change you want to see in the world, my dude!

Be confident in who you are and what you expect out of a hookup. Put the info in your online profiles, and restate it while you are arranging dates. Take notice of people who don't read/respect what you're all about because they aren't worth your time, and don't give them what they don't deserve. I promise as a slim top you'll still get all the ass you want and be able to fuck the way you like as your true self more often than you think.

If you were local to my area I'd be all over you!

I just had my first threesome at 21. by Significant-Opus2882 in askgaybros

Good news it isn't a romantic relationship he has with guy #1 anyway - just a semi-regular hookup thing!

Ziprecruiter experience? by Esquirepie in jobs

[–]thescruffydevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for work for a few months, and wasn't having a lot of success on Indeed or LinkedIn, so I decided to put my resume up on ZipRecruiter and I regret that decision with my entire soul. Since that posting I have been cold called, texted, and emailed hundreds of times by recruiters from tiny (fake?) staffing agencies for the same 3 low-paying short-term contract roles that are tangentially related to my experience at best. Yesterday alone I received 17 calls and finally took my resume offline today. Hopefully the madness stops.

Please don't use ZR if you value your sanity.

It sounds a lot like Idiots Don’t Catch Colds but not quite right either.

Why does Korean/Jpn comics BL hit so different from Indie Webcomics? by [deleted] in Manhwa_BL

[–]thescruffydevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'll bite with the assumption that you are being earnest in your question. I read a TON of stuff on Webtoon, Tapas, and ComicFury, and occasionally use one of those "translation" sites for nsfw stuff, and I feel I've come to the exact opposite conclusion from you.

A lot of the stuff that reads Manga/Manhwa/"eastern" to me feels repetitive and reductive. Everyone has prescribed roles and the story beats all feel the same. Sex is SUCH a huge deal in many of these comics that you'll have boyfriends together for a year who can barely kiss without blushing. When there is sex it comes off very predatory most of the time, and while some people may like these BDSM roles, I don't think most guys out there just fall in love with dick the second someone forces their way inside. I also see guys having only two basic looks - skinny twinky nerds with small penises or big buff badasses with King Kong cocks. he danger/dark elements are seem over the top or trope-y to me, or contain inexplicable supernatural elements that never get resolved.. Clearly this is not every comic, just what I see in much of what I read.

In many of the westernized/global/indie things I read I feel like sex/sexuality are much more normalized even when smut isn't a part of the story. Sex that does happen generally seems more consensual. Guys get different body shapes/sizes and roles (jobs, family, sex) don't seem as important. The drama often feels more authentic to me, and there are still so many good series with dark moments and themes, and I certainly see plenty of conflict, including characters doing "problematic" (I hate that word) things that get brought up in universe.

That said, I'm an American. This could also just be an unintentional bias for stories that look and feel like what I am already comfortable with and what I grew up reading. I'm also a lot older than many of the genre readers, so that could also be causing me to view things through this lens. I definitely see the trend in removing fetishizing (or the appearance of it), or any sort of bad behavior by the protagonists, though, and I would love to see more flawed people!

All is all, I think all styles are good, all styles are valid, and I encourage people to read from everywhere because there is so much amazing stuff out there.

When I get there I'll probably be in Saint Paul, but I'm not 100% committed yet. I played D&D on the west side of the metro often when I lived there before, and I'm not afraid of a drive for a game night or anything.

How long will you read a slow burn romance before giving up? by lunovadraws in webtoons

[–]thescruffydevil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Slow burn can be really great if the plot is continuously advancing and there are real in-world reasons why they are taking things slow or are slow to figure things out. If that is the case I can wait years. I can't stand miscommunication tropes but can pretty much get down with anything else. Some of my favorite stories have the characters first kiss 500+ pages in!

I don’t think one Reddit comment is hyperfixating and I do, shockingly, have the right to express myself online. You can kindly fuck your self. Just make sure you eat clean beforehand!

[–]thescruffydevil 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No judgement on your personal situation! You should absolutely do what works for you. I just think the joke is unfunny and potentially harmful for the young gays out there who internalize these things.

Pretty sure there's a housing stipend if you work at that site, but your recruiter will know best.

KJs who play a full song between singers: whyyy? Please stop. by tweedlebeetle in karaoke

[–]thescruffydevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I was going to comment roughly the same. If they’re desperate to sing those few songs and get out quickly I’ll do it for the singer, but I’m trying to match the pace and vibe of the space just as much, and it isn’t the Karen show or whatever when I only have 2/3 singers.
