I don’t know if this is a hot take, but I think allowing straight and cis people to identify as such is appropriate, because the alternative assumes that we live in a state of default heteronormativity.

If anything, I want to live in a world where homophobes get mad that if they want to be assumed to be straight online they have to identify like anyone else. No one gets assumed to be straight any more. That’s better imo.

as an almost maximally privileged person (cis straight etc), i want my whining fellows to shut the fuck up. Just stop. Stop taking up all the god damn space. Just be quiet. It’s okay not to be included in every scene all the time.

Your point about not assuming people are straight by default is valid. But I mostly just want some cis-het folks to stop embarrassing me by being fucking insufferable.

The default should be “I’m horny” but unless I specify you have to guess who I’m horny for.

Maybe one day we can get there, but right now it might be better for a lot of folks if the default was “I’m not horny”.

But I’m with you on the dream.

Wow such asexual-phobia! (/s but only a little) Not everyone is “horny”.

No shade to my Ace friends intended. Totally possible to be horny for art or rock collecting or whatever. Doesn’t have to be a sexy thing. I’m horny for none of the above is totally valid.

Pan-sexual then, perhaps?

Nothing I enjoy more than asking a good ol’ boy his pronouns.

The quotation marks are a nice touch. Quality trolling.

I think a question mark in parentheses would also do the trick

Wait… This is an entire game? I’ve seen memes of it and I thought it was about an update to Animal Crossing.

It’s very fun, feels like a return to simple web chatroom type games that I’ve really been longing for. It’s real enjoyable if the idea of casual fishing with some random people seems appealing to you!

Finally, representation for gay people who are into irony.
