I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    I mean none of the alternative people I know are into being fetishized like that. In fact they absolutely hate it.

      Having a preference isn’t automatically fetishizing people and there’s a world of difference between the two. I have a preference for big boobs but I didn’t even consider pursuing my now ex until i overheard her having a heart to heart with a troubled friend I was very close too.

          So we’re not allowed to be attracted to large breasted goth women? Are they condemned to live lonely lives since no ones allowed to be into them?

              If going for well read people with a sense of ethics that I can easily converse with is fetishizing people then it’s alot more positive term than you make it sound. Maybe more people should fetishize each other.

                Cool that’s not what you’re doing though. You’re fetishizing an entire subculture because you think it looks hot.

                Bro it’s not hard to just be a decent person.

                  Bro it’s not hard to just be a decent person.

                  Then be a decent person. Relationship experts consistently affirm that for most people being attracted to your partner is important to a relationship. There’s nothing wrong with that.

                  You’re fetishizing an entire subculture

                  At no point did I express attraction to goth women. You continue to grasp at straws trying to shame people for having preferences.

                    Okay buddy if you want to be purposely obtuse and pretend you don’t understand the difference between attraction and fetishizing, then go ahead. But it would be better for everyone if you left that kind of bullshit on reddit where it belongs.
