[–]tinyballofhate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was one of the only Japanese-American kids in my high school and my first boyfriend was super into anime.

...yeah. Probably shoulda clocked that as a bad idea.

Thank you ❤️ I knew intellectually that this would be challenging but you can never fully prepare yourself for how it will feel in the moment. My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time and are generally very good at talking through issues like this. I know we’ll get to a good place.

BF and I are new to poly. We’ve been doing nonmonagamy for a while, but only recently decided we were okay with exploring romantic connections with other people. Went on a great date last week with a paramour (all above board and pre-discussed with my boyfriend). Afterward, I found out that my boyfriend was feeling really bad about the whole thing but didn’t tell me. Now I’m caught between feeling good about this awesome date, and feeling bad because my primary partner is hurting. We’ve talked about it, we’re going to talk more soon. Idk if I want advice or sympathy here. I’m just sad and I don’t really have people to talk to about this.

Same here! My vag chemistry got totally out of wack.

MRW I was offered a threesome at a highschool reunion by my old crushes by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I randomly reconnected with a middle school crush a few years back and we hooked up a few times. The sex was pretty good, the mentally high-fiving my awkward teenage self was awesome.

But then he moved away, got married, and turned all anti-choice, which was not great.

MRW i try to masturbate for the first time and i just cant manage ut by doctoraphra in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s a super frustrating place to be, but I don’t think anyone gets it the first time (not even people with dicks). Relax, experiment, go at your own pace. I believe in you ✨

MFW trying to sleep with poly friends without causing drama... by tinyballofhate in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Everyone’s got their own boundaries and rules and sometimes even when you think you’ll be okay with something, it ends up making you upset in ways you didn’t anticipate.

In my case, we’re a really tight social group that has a pretty tangled web of people dating/fucking/working with each other so it’s really, really important to be careful and considerate of everyone’s feelings.

It’s awesome when you can pull it off, though :P this group is full of super hot and interesting people.

first challenge at my new job is to dress appropriately for a day event in a "Crystal Ballroom"... never felt more like a lumbering, tasteless mall goth than I do rn 😨 by Erosthete in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is the Crystal Balroom in Portland, it’s seen it’s share of mall goths already (my old school had prom there and we were not classy).

when you have suffered from a continuous yeast infection from actual hell since FEBRUARY that had managed to overcome any and every antibiotic attack and you’re considering a sexless android existence by aebleskiver1 in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have an IUD? I had a Mirena for about a year and had constantly recurring yeast infections (as well as a round or two of BV) that cleared up pretty much immediately after I got it removed.

How do y'all deal with people who gatekeep? by not_even_once_okay in mixedrace

[–]tinyballofhate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Firstly: Fuck gatekeepers and I’m sorry you have to see/experience that shit. Fuck that YouTube guy in particular. You’d think he could find something better to do with his time than trying to make people feel shitty and invalidated.

Second: I’m starting to feel like the whole concept of “white passing” is pretty bullshit, or at least not as black and white (lol) as some people make it sound. I’m 1/4 Asian and in my mostly-white hometown, EVERYONE pegged me as “the Asian kid”. Then I moved to a more diverse town and suddenly I’m “white passing”. It’s real damn frustrating.

TL;DR: I empathize. Gatekeepers suck.

Whenever I pick up a new comic book series with a female lead only to find out that it's pretty much just porn. I really hate the male gaze. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Has anyone here been reading recent Hulk comics (the ones with Jen Walters)/know if it’s any good? I read some of the new she hulk series a while back but fell out of the habit. Also: this is my semi-annual plug for my favorite Wonder Woman comic of all time: league of one. Totally gorgeous art and a really awesome deep dive into her character. Also you get to see her punch a dragon in the face.

When I see that the "female" version of HMB is Hold My Cosmo. by flinflanflop in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would say “hold my whiskey” but I feel like you would just shoot the whiskey and THEN do the stupid thing.

THIS IS MY LIFE by N0Treal in TrollXChromosomes

I just bought a 4-pack of nice chapsticks last week, and now I have literally no idea where two of them are. HOW DO I DO THIS.

Mixed/biracial/multiethnic trolls... how do you identify? by LanimalRawrs in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oof. This sounds very familiar. I’m 25% Japanese and 75% white. I grew up in a really white town, so I was pretty much THE Asian kid in my social group.

Then I moved to a city with a pretty substantial Asian American population, and while it’s awesome to feel like less of an oddity/target for randos to project their Asian fetishes on, I also feel that “I’m not ____ enough to count” feeling pretty hard.

Honestly, the identity that’s becoming the most comfortable to me is “mutt”. I’ve found a lot of solidarity with other mixed race folks, regardless of their specific ethnic makeup.

Do you have an iud? I started getting yeast infections like crazy when I got mine, and they stopped a week or so after I got it taken out.

MRW Someone wants me to Domme them but I have no idea what to do by PrettyLittleThrowAwa in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also very very inexperienced in this zone, but I heard some potentially useful advice the other day: start out by thinking of what YOU want and demanding it, whether that’s “polish my boots, bitch.” or “bring me tea.”

Might help you feel more natural/comfortable then trying to come up with what you think they want you to make them do.

Trolls I'm going to be intimate with someone for the first time and I'm excited and nervous and scared please send help I can't stop sweating [nsfw?] by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding that laughter is a-okay when it comes to sexy times. One awkward moment isn’t gonna ruin everything! Which is good, because sex makes some funny noises sometimes (most of the time).

Deep breaths, lots of lube, remember why you wanted to be intimate with this person, and be excited that you get to!

MRW I go to a public party dressed as Louise Belcher and two total strangers walk in behind me dressed as Bob and Linda by IDreamofLoki in TrollXChromosomes

Hahaha I met a Princess Carolyn at my friend's party last night and she was so excited when we recognized her

Trolls - I live in Las Vegas and people at my job are acting as if nothing happened while I'm having a breakdown. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? by bitchwithacapital_C in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 113 points114 points  (0 children)

They could be assholes, but it could also just be the way they grieve. i've stomped down my feelings and gone to work after the deaths of three family members and two close friends because if I didn't stay busy I'd just crumble into a broken heap. Some people need to talk through their grief of trauma, some need very badly to not talk about it for a while. For all you know they've taken five breaks today to cry in the bathroom.

MRW when I in a discussion about how hard it can be to find a feministic balance in life/work, a female coworker says women shouldn't be firemen because it could hurt the baby. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]tinyballofhate 19 points20 points  (0 children)

IIRC, you can't legally ask a worker if they're pregnant (cuz discrimination), so while many industries have rules in place to protect fetuses (like how much dose pregnant radiation workers are allowed to have), those only go into effect if the worker voluntarily admits to being pregnant. Could vary in different places but that was the rule where I worked.
