Thank you. I feel like I understand better now, especially with that first link. Haven’t worked through all the sources in the second one yet.

I have studied Japanese and have enough credit hours to minor in it, but I don’t know much specialist language I know. I could try to work on learning more, if this is a longer-term process, but if you’re looking to get this done quick, I probably can’t learn in time.

I’m not really interested in having sex, but there are certainly other ways of having kids. I just also don’t think I am (or likely ever will be) in a mentally stable enough position that I feel like I could care for a child. I can barely care for myself and require a good amount of support to do so. So no, kids are very likely not in my future.

Thank you, I think this makes sense.

I mean, stories that are meant to emulate the old romances would follow nobles simply because that’s the medium. But I definitely agree that more stories set current day need working class (or just not owning class) protagonists. I think revolutionary stories in the style of epics would be amazing, but unfortunately I have met with difficulty writing such a thing.

In school they taught us that the Soviet Union was buddies with Nazi Germany until the Nazis betrayed them partway through the war, at which point they reluctantly joined the Allies who reluctantly accepted them. I have seen on here and Hexbear that this is not an accurate history.

This made my heart drop. However marginalized or trod upon I may be, I am still part of the rich. I don’t make my living just by owning things, so I got that going for me; but my whole lifestyle sits on the backs of those folks. I knew it was bad, but this picture was just a gut-punch. If these people need to march on us to be liberated, so may it be.

Ooh, eugenics is one of those things that get me so riled up. Usually people are better at decorating their words so they don’t sound quite like this, but he’s so mask-off. There’s nothing I can really add because he said all the things wrong with his argument, just he and his people think those are positive qualities of it. “Lack higher reasoning and moral faculties” so this guy by contrast has high moral faculties? Maybe I’m just falling into the trap by getting worked up, but this guy is fucked.

It doesn’t even need to be private, though. You could be public about your asexuality and people still shouldn’t make a big deal about it. You aren’t into sex? Cool, I don’t like coffee.
