I’m sorry you were molested but you cannot expect strangers to refrain from playing with each other to respect triggers they don’t even know exist. I know it sucks, I know it can even feel like physical pain. But they are not psychic and while we did not ask for trauma, it is our responsibility at the end of the day, not theirs. They’re just having fun and they should be able to do that.
Strangers tend to be humans. I expect humans to be machines for making the world worse.
I don’t expect humans to respect my boundaries, quite often, because a large number of humans gain profit from oppressing each other.
Kindness might feel like or look like a choice, but it truly comes from understanding. Lord Buddha came across some children fishing, and asked them how they would react to a hook piercing their cheek, for example.
The concept of ‘me’ as exclusive from other living beings is what allows for harmful distinctions to be made, where ‘me’ can exploit others for profit. In reality, ‘me’ is just one of many living beings, and we are all born, feel pain, and die.
This is a shit post. If you’re setting boundaries it would be wise to not say things that sound like a joke (“I’ll bite you”, “checkmate”) so people don’t make sexual jokes in response.
What a wild level of self entitlement to post a public comment and then insist everyone else respect your unstated personal boundaries, like they should know your trauma and you’re not the one walking into an obviously sexual space.
I’m an anarchist and asexual and also autistic and I’ll bite you if you touch me. Checkmate, archists.
I’m anarchist, autistic, and hypersexual, I’ll take all the touches that would otherwise go to you.
Protip: Do not bite as a self-defense. for some of us, it’s just a different form of kiss.
I probably won’t need to worry about your preferences, as it sounds like you might end up in prison.
The funny thing about ace peeps is they think that’s a threat
You poor, innocent FOOLS
dont touch people without consent thanks
Yeah, no touching, thanks. I was molested as a child and didn’t enjoy it.
If that makes me ‘innocent’, whatever.

I wish it weren’t so. Kindness is often just a choice.

Probably a bad idea to engage with a post about touching prostates then
I’m sorry that you’re uncomfortable that I have boundaries. Maybe it’s a bad idea for you to engage in society, because you’re not very good at it.

I am under no obligation to be wise for your benefit. I am wise for my own benefit. Good day.
