it's not a hobby, it isn't productive.
Why does a hobby need to be productive? That idea reeks of capitalist grindset bullshit.
they're referencing the other struggle session that happened yesterday
Threads like those always make me second-guess what sorts of things someone on this site might say in complete earnest.
same, it's been a rough few days for my autistic ass lol
sorry
I missed it. I am sad to have missed a good struggle session. Did we get a highlight reel?
i was somehow in both of them, i usually miss them
the person who made the "gaming isn't a real hobby" one got banned and then the other one i didn't look into further because it was mostly aphobia
That gaming one is tough because gaming isn't a hobby but arguing about them online is so we fell into the trap.
I am saddened that a good wholesome conversation about gooning was cheapened in that way.
ill never get my wholesome gooning discussion now
oh the sex positivity one? yeah allos should be less puritan but we also need to not put upon our ace and/or aro comrades
and
keeping out chasers is an unqualified good.
I was wondering if the stuff I made up happened to be true or was just being repeated.
what stuff you made up?
Distinctions between hobbies play and leisure. It was useful for the thread and it seems it's breached containment
oh yea, def some people arguing that. i checked out early
Isnt the purpose of a hobby that it isnt productive necessarily, but brings one comfort and a relief from the world?
yes!
i'm taking the piss on the other thread
Was that the now deleted comment chain about how all sex involves treating people like objects while you smear blood and urine on them?
That was an interesting message to see in the inbox.
"Everything I know about sex, I learned from abstinence-only Christian fundamentalists"
Me (to my wife): I love you so much, if this moment stretched out forever it still wouldn't be enough time in your arms.

What in the dark web fetish site is this?
Guilty, guilty, I'm strawmanning.
But they called me a psychopath for saying that sex as a hobby should be no more controversial than carpentry. Apparently all sex is about objectification, involves blood and urine, carries a risk of children which then subjects them to the cycle of blood and piss ( so much wrong there), and isn't productive.
It was very unusual, I think they were just having A Day
Oh no I wasnt accussing you of strawmanning in the first place! I was just perplexed. The whole analogy that person made, is still certainly something, though.
I was though D: since the Kremlin fired me I have pivoted from state operator to lib wrecker.
same
I think for around half the population a wank is plenty productive.
oh it produces something alright
