This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

How did it end? Did they date then?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I feel like there are so many dudes who'd fall in love if only both parties were women, and that's beautiful...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Why is that beautiful? Sounds pretty obvious to me. If some of my dude friends were actually women, I'd love to be in a relationship with them. They're cool dudes.

All the straight boys you know have probably at some poiot been devastated to remember they are tecnnically not lesbians, because dick.

Seriously though

The feminine (and, by extension, lesbian) is constantly portrayed in such a sweet and gentle way and masculine us always so rough that I can't help but say "lesbian relationships to me, please"

And I'm a guy.

Where tf did we lose those cute gentle hetero relationships and representation? Okay there's GFD, but barely anyone notices it and it's strictly about women taking the lead and mostly sexual, which is only one side of the story.

I had someone tell me "He/Him Lesbians" were a thing recently and they weren't referring to FTM Transguys either (Which I was relieved by as that would be a horribly offensive thing to call that crowd since a lesbian is a woman who exclusively is attracted to other women, and FTMs are NOT women.) Somedays I just don't know if I'm getting too old and set in my ways or if the world has just lost the plot.

These days I just kinda "nod" at things and go along with them even if I don't agree or understand, within reason of course. (i'm not going to let anyone take fucking dieting advice from a breatharian)

Unpopular opinion : once you start blurring the lines of what gender is, the straightness based definitions of things go out the window.

An FTM and MTF relationship is something alright. None of my business.

but, linguistically speaking, I don't think straight as a label applies to it, even though it's male + female.

it ties into the difference between someone being pansexual, and bisexual.

he/him lesbians is largely a historical teem referring to lesbians in the 1980s scene who would identify as (typically butch) women but go by he/him pronouns (see stone butch blues)

(but it's old enough that some people have rediscovered it)

The way you phrased it makes it sound like more of a sex thing than a gender identity thing

This was a sweet, wonderful read, thank you

I am a happily being a guy but I identified with Samuel in that story more than I ever would have guessed would have been possible. I have always been jealous of how easy it is for women to make friends and how tender their friendship are. I have never gotten along with macho guys and multiple times in my life people thought I was gay (I am only attracted to women, I just want tender friendships like women have with each other)...

There is a bad bitch inside of all of us lowkey. But at least in RPGs I like to be a chick because I usually like the clothing options.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

and for FPS being a bad bitch means you'll have a smaller hit box 😅

I've always said, if you're going to stare at someone's ass for the next 200 hours...

Baldur's gate made a whole lot of believers; every character in that game is hot as fuck, including the horned demon lady. Especially the horned demon lady.

I love everything about BG3

Proves you can have a gender system that doesn't feel as forced as "Body Type A/B" and in the process accommodate a larger portion of the gender spectrum.

It also shows you can be Pro-Woman AND Pro-Sexuality, you don't need to go the route of "Everyone looks like a guy, and boobs don't exist", you can just have hot chicks fucking hot chicks, hot guys fucking hot guys, turn into a bear and get your freak on...

I get that media's trying to change its tune to be more inclusive because we've kinda just catered to white guys for too long, and gender's proving slightly more complicated than initially believe, but... BG3 did it in a way that's actually fun, inclusive, and awesome, instead of feeling like lazy pandering that doesn't really help anyone outside of Right Wingers looking to get mad about shit.
