Progressives when people around them are complying with monogamous romantic norms: “All bodies are beautiful ☺️ Nobody should be discriminated against for who or how they love ☺️ Rights for minorities ☺️ Fat liberation ☺️”
Like, we get it, you’re insecure, but that doesn’t actually mean you’re allowed to insult and stigmatise people (and uncritically invoke other bigotries!) to feel better just because you think your mono friends will let you get away with it. The leftism really does leave people’s bodies I swear.
This is the number one way I hear monogamous people talk about polyamory, even in leftist and queer spaces. Can assure you that there are multiple posts to this affect being gleefully passed around lgbtq tumblr circles right now.
Also the way that people complain that people in polyamorous relationships aren’t attractive to them like it’s a disappointment, as if the only reason that other people should exist in non- monogamous relationships should be for their own titillation.
I didn’t want to outright say it, but to the person who tagged this; yeah, I know exactly what you mean and it’s bothered me for years. Really put me off any of his other stuff when I’ve seen it around.
Could someone elaborate on this? Isnt that the “was i supposed to learn this from ____” guy?
Call me bad at taking a joke but I don’t find it funny when it’s pretty clearly feeding into a meanspirited narrative.
“It’s never who you want to be polyamorous who’s polyamorous, you guys give off bad nonsexy vibes” cool. The same is true of most random straight monogamous couples, but I don’t expect other people to be fetishized objects catering to my personal erotic fantasies.
Imagine if a comedian made a song about how gross the vibes were from another gsr minority where they had them transforming into monsters and chasing them down the street. They’d never be taken seriously in queer circles again, but Chris Fleming is still a beloved lgbt icon
