    Okay setting aside your clearly toxic and unkind attitude that is betraying what this is really about, some personal issue that is making you seeth, why is the word “disappointment” triggering YOU so hard?

    I would be disappointed if my date comes home with me and takes off their shirt and they have a tattoo of Sonic the Hedgehog on their chest. Because I don’t want to look at Sonic when we’re together, does that make a lick of fucking sense? Do you understand that people have consensual relationships and preferences for their partners?

      Yeah I’m toxic, you’re the one who flipped out at me for asking the commenter a question 😂 I’ll admit it was aggro but I don’t know you and was not trying to make a statement about your personal life that I have no knowledge of. I was showing the way that word functions and how it differs from other direct feelings in response to something. Disappointment is a specific emotion with a specific meaning.

      He didn’t say that if someone he dated had nipple piercings he’d be dissappointed, he said he was “disappointed so many girls” are choosing to get them. Don’t try and reframe what he said. You don’t have to come up with elaborate allegories we can talk about what he said right there.

        I quizzed you why you thought a normal, common expression of aesthetic taste became a sexual entitlement issue to you immediately, it was weird, it remains weird, you are weird, every comment makes you seem weirder about it, and I don’t think this is a healthy place for you to be engaging and tripling down on. I’m blocking you for your good as much as mine.

            yeah, that’s your entire thing. Ripping into him for having preferences. How dare he, and how dare he have an emotional reaction to his preferences. The fact he isn’t dead inside proves he isn’t married to you. ;-)

              You’re just petulantly refusing to actually respond to what I have said at this point. I don’t care about his preferences.

                  Yes, here I am, not making any arguments about his preferences. 🙄

                    and yet, there you go again, bitching about his preferences.

                    I get it. English is a weird, difficult language, and it isn’t your first. You’re probably from northern Europe, I presume? Take it from absolutely everyone here telling you you misunderstood that you misunderstood. It’s a learning experience. Being wrong isn’t the end of the world for you. Grow from it.
