Thanks!

You posted in the TVTropes mock thread, right? That's probably where I learned most of what I did about this kind of thing. There was also a tumblr mock thread which contained a lot of material from communities that were centered entirely around shows like Doctor Who and BBC's Sherlock, and also loving nuts. That thread also mocked a lot of kids coming to terms with their sexuality or gender identity in various degrees of healthiness, and you know how goons are about gender identity. I learned a lot about trans issues from the goons telling the other goons to shut the gently caress up, though.

I can understand why mock threads are gone and this thread is on a tight leash, but goons responding to bad faith shitposts can be remarkably educational.

Anyways, it's definitely not limited to video games. Here, let me make up for this post with this ol' internet classic:

quote:

RANT TIME

Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers.

Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there.

We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I?

WRONG.

loving moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and loving gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand.

OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc*

THE loving KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE.

I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. loving CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT.

I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo loving woo.

I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY loving LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy.

I loving hate breeders and child-lovers. loving GO TO HELL.

I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic twat breeder and her shitling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win.

Edited to add: To all of you who are calling me immature etc, I'd like to add that you make a very good point, but have you considered GO gently caress YOURSELF? If you're so anal-retentive, go back to the other community and go on with your breeder-humping. Also, to the person who submitted this to fandom_wank, I seriously (no sarcasm) thank you. I've always wanted to be there!

Honestly the whining Muggle isn't the worst person in that story. Some fan wasn't content enough with making their own identity all about a young adult book series that they've now taught their kid to yell "Qua'dich!" to the approval and applaud of grown-ups.

This is definitely the (gotta be pushing 40yo) guy my ex knew* who goes to all the conventions here, photographs all the girls and posts on social media, declares himself a "Gray asexual" whatever in the internet that's supposed to be, and once, while sitting in front of my ex at a movie, turned around and said hi and proceeded to creep her on fb on his phone, right in front of her (without any prior formal meeting)

It's basically "I'm asexual except sometimes I want to have sex." Related to demisexual, "I only feel sexual attraction after I get to know someone," as one of those "I need to feel special and/or I live in the incelverse where normal sexuality consists of constant anonymous orgies in the next room" things.

There's a whole spectrum of sexualities that were invented by teenager trying to come to terms with their budding sexuality not expressing itself as the hormone hurricane they've been taught to expect. I think they usually grow out of it. I've yet to encounter any in the wild, at least.

Not only have I encountered them in the wild, I had some people try to convince me that I was in fact demisexual because I didn't have a strong interest in one-night stands with people I barely knew. They seem to think that the standard for sexual behavior is a willingness to gently caress anyone and everyone that passes by and you must be something different if you prefer to get to know someone before sticking your dick in her.

According to asexuality.org you're halfway to asexual.

Is there a sexuality that just sticks its dick into crazy? Because that'd be the most interesting sexuality to hang out with.

Those types definitely do exist and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these crazy sexuality terms come from people like that wanting to attach themselves to something that makes them feel more unique when they're discovering themselves. I went to a college with a huge musical theater program and I've met a lot of guys and girls my freshman year who called themselves a vast array of terms that essentially boiled down to being straight or gay but not very interested in sex.

Honestly, I find it weird and annoying but it's a harmless way for some people to come to terms with themselves growing up. If you are in your mid 20's and still calling yourself omnisexual or whatever and insisting others refer to you as such, thats when it becomes too much. Sexuality is a spectrum but it's not as complicated as many make it out to be.

I don't think it's even limited to media. People see their clothes, their car, the size of their house, the restaurants they eat at, and everything else they buy as some sort of personality-defining trait. It's just this sort of weird, slightly creepy backdrop to a culture driven by consumption. It's actually a little more defensible now that the internet has enabled the long tail of distribution to proliferate a bit (i.e., increased marketing of low-volume culture to niche markets), but still it would be nice if we evaluated people more by what they produce and less by what they consume.

But even if what they produce is worthwhile how does the internal landscape of the person get defined by purchases. Is there anywhere that people have written about this>?

I see this poo poo all the time on OKCupid. Tons of people calling themselves sapiosexual or pansexual or whatever the gently caress and it's a great way to ID people who are likely to act like they're still in high school.
