It’s technically decentralized, but functionally this doesn’t mean anything (yet) except for them not having to care about moderation.

It seems part of it might be open source, like the AT protocol, but not sure about all of it.

I appreciate the intent, but yeah, when people who don’t know me at all/that well say I matter to them etc I tend to think “how could they when they don’t know me?” I’m not sure if that’s correct or not, but it is how I feel.

Hope you are doing well though, and no real harm done.

Um, oh, okay?

Okidoke, hope you are getting what you want and need out of life fully consensually and everyone else are getting their needs and wants met too.

As for me, I’ll keep not existing in both the streets and the sheets.

To answer the question in the brackets, it’s not about being attracted to sex itself or not, it’s about not being attracted to someone sexually (as in not finding a person sexually attractive). But sex can still be interesting and/or enjoyable to someone for various reasons besides being attracted to someone.

No, I corrected my post with more detail, hope you can see the edit.

Anyway, no people can be interested in sex for other reasons like enjoying the physical sensations etc, just because someone isn’t sexually attracted to someone doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the act itself.

Asexuality is about not experiencing sexual attraction, not about being interested in sex or not.

Some asexuals are also not interested in sex: Sex Repulsed

Some don’t care: Sex indifferent

Some want it: Sex favourable,

Of course, then there is the spectrum including Grey Aces: Sometimes feel sexual attraction under certain circumstances, and demisexuals who are only sexually attracted when they have a strong emotional connection to someone.

There are other labels under the asexual- spectrum but those are the most well known.

Yes! I loved it, and same about tears.

Ooo, interesting.

Thank you, looking forward to it!

Guess I don’t exist as I don’t play either.

That’s not what asexual means.

I can’t help but feel that part of this is because to make a movie there’s a higher barrier to entry and so a lot of studios and big budget production companies keep doing the ‘safe’ thing and regurgitating already existing properties or keeping their storylines ‘safe’.

This happens in gaming too (especially with big budget franchises) but there are really great experiments and indies out there showing what can be done, which is less so in the movie and TV industry.

People don’t always want the same thing over and over again and if executives could ever learn this it would be amazing how much creativity there would be, but they don’t.

Hehe

Betteridge’s law of headlines.

So no.

Noooo, don’t do it Tony. Activision are awful!

Good for them.

Hope companies start learning they can’t treat people like that and keep people in the field, instead they’ll go out to one.

Yes, sex is a social construct in terms of that it’s just a thing that is assigned and a label that has been assigned to people based on what it’s assumed their bodily makeup.

Doctors and others don’t exactly do karyotype or other genetic testing at birth, they look at the genitals and usually apply one of two boxes to you and unless you look into it that label follows you around the rest of your life. Often, if you don’t fit into those boxes they try to make you.

It isn’t helpful nor accurate, because bodies are not the same. This is what we mean when we say sex is a social construct, it’s just a label, a shortcut through language meant to imply homogeneity forgoing accuracy and meaning, and it doesn’t mean anything because it’s not specific enough to.

Sex is a social construct in all the ways gender is, because as stated it’s just a label that gets assigned to you. What with HRT, surgery etc most, if not all biological characteristics of a body can be changed and this makes the distinction useless. Especially because people are so hung up on what bodies look like and what their functions are supposed to be, yes this is partially to do with gender but it also speaks to ‘sex’ too.

Even scientists understand this now and though I don’t necessarily agree nor disagree with this, they call sex a bimodal distribution, not a distinct binary any more.

But regardless of what it’s called or how many ‘sexes’ are recognised, it’s still a social construct because it’s taking a bunch of characteristics and applying labels to it. That’s it.

Patriarchy, toxic masculinity, misogyny and ego, men don’t want to be beat by women or other genders.

Say it with me now: Sex is a social construct.

A ‘convenient’ fitting into boxes usually two, but accurately not always.

The problem with such a system is that it’s limiting and not at all useful in trying to help people.

We should be specific in what we are trying to say, because the miasma of a sex binary isn’t useful, even in medical fields as it conditions doctors to think in very limiting ways and not actually help accurately.

It also has many roots in patriarchal violence in determining what a person (though to them a body) is for.

It’s also problematic in a racist sense because of the colonialist white ‘western’ ideas of what makes a certain sex or gender often don’t fit those who aren’t in those categories (except colonised).

Which is why the ‘science’ is very problematic in this regard because that is the bias/lens with which it looks at this specific ‘field’ through.

Remember the rule of headlines, if it’s a question it can be answered with a no.
