Ask Lemmy

Frida Kahlo's paintings.

I FUCKING HATE ketchup. I can't tolerate the taste or the texture. But I recognize that people that love ketchup are not evil, just misguided.

Orks.

Not particularly into guys, but I love women who are into them.

Sex. Neurodivergent/nerd social circles often have a lot of kink/BDSM and otherwise sex positive people, so my friends group is pretty open about sex.

I’m on the asexual spectrum and would rather forget that sex is a thing, but I love my friends and as long as everyone is consenting and safe, I’m happy for them. I sometimes get awkward when sex convos happen around me, but hey, I get awkward with many other convos too.

I am not a fan of the hardcore heavy/death metal music itself; but the metalheads are awesome people. The more unintelligible and scary/evil sounding the music, the nicer the crowd. It's weird and cool and funny.

Horses. Let’s say she was rather liberal regarding stuff.

Grand strategy games aren't for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

ranked competitive sex

edit: oh and also trans girls, now that i think about it.

Boardgaming. I play an occasional boardgame with my friends, but I'm not searching youtube clips for strategies, importing first-print Euro games in the original German and printing English-language stickers for the boards, or watching Essen livestreams every year.

Metal and punk music, not my style but def my scene

Skateboarding/ bmx/ rollerblades / scooters- have a fucked up knee so I don’t like to anymore but I love the energy the crowd brings

Street racing- car scene is dying and wifey doesn’t let me any more 🙃

Graffiti art- I’m just bad at it

Furries - not my thing but they’re fun folks

Larping / roleplay/ dnd - same

Pineapple on pizza. You're wrong and I wanna fight you but we can still be friends and have a good time over drinks.

One that’s less relevant now, but throughout my life has been relevant: Juggalos.

I was a big metalhead in school, and i had a bunch of juggalo friends. I liked a couple of their songs well enough, but I found the “culture” grating. Still, those mothafuckas were the most accepting and tolerant people I knew. Tolerant of anyone’s way of life, except they fucking hated bigots. In the 90s, being accepting of queer peeps really wasn’t in vogue (to put it lightly) but juggalos welcomed queer peeps as friends with open arms.

Eggs. Never much liked eggs outside of scrambled or omelets and I only really tolerate those but I know pretty much everyone else likes them so 🤷

Meat-eating and political apathy. Few people are vegetarians at this point in history, and activism tends to attract defective personalities.

If it sounds like I must be a misanthropic bastard that hates everyone, unfortunately, yeah, I think I do at this point.

I don't like to dress in a slutty outfit and go out in the public

Dudes that are into piss
