Sorry, bored with you. I’ve had my fill of aggrieved heterosexuality today. Peace.

I’m bored with this conversation. Adios!

And that assumption would be false. I specifically mentioned in my first response that the phenomenon is rooted in several things that differentiate straight relationships, and this person decided that I was talking exclusively about cheating.

That doesn’t make sense with the information you provided, though. And I was very careful in my phrasing, despite how much you might like to use the words “cherry picking”. Either your source is wrong, or gay and lesbian men and women are less likely to cheat.

Found it!

Yes, that’s the one! I wish I could find that one that I saw in the first place, it was really the platonic ideal of how that should be done.

Except that the chart I provided clearly shows the numbers I cited, which show that among gay and lesbian people, NCNM is a lower rate than among heterosexuals. Using the source you cited. You can’t just handwave that away-either your source is wrong, or your claim that such things are more prevalent among gays and…

I didn’t cherry pick anything. And per the information you provided above, there is a pretty clear issue, and it isn’t LGBT people.

I note that the occurrence of NCNM in gay/lesbian relationships is shown as 4/58 or 6.9%, while the occurrence in straight people is 166/2155, or 7.7%. Which is higher.

Right?! My first intro to the format was a Native nonbinary person and their outfits were just the hottest shit I’d ever seen, and then after that it was just a downward spiral of boringness.

I would absolutely love to see these studies you reference, I bet they totally exist.

This is a disproportionately heterosexual thing, tho-it plays into existing straight dynamics around cheating, power, and relationship dynamics. Not that such things don’t also exist in LGBT spaces, just that they’re a lot less common. It’s the modern version of “Please, take my wife!”

The one that bothers me is the one where somebody is wearing like pajamas and there’s a song with a heavy bassline and on each beat, their outfit changes. When it’s done by POC and non-straight people, the effect is actually really cool and the huge variety of outfits is just the best.

But the meme is flooded by…

Can’t overstate how glad I am that I got out of this horsecrap like a decade ago. Straight people gotta figure themselves out.

Oh for sure, I know there are plenty of states where that’s the case-and CA would be in the same boat, if we managed to stop sitting on our own hands long enough to change the law at the state level.

Actually there’s a state-level component that has to be completed first, and guess who hasn’t actually done that yet, despite being legally obligated to do so?

Soooo glad I live in CA where we all voted this meaningless nonsense out of existence…

Thank you! I saw that and was like, that’s certainly gonna be a hell of a thing to plop down on your thanksgiving table, hahaha.

Se ya later, person that is also wrong ;)

Yes, but as I said earlier:
