@patrickashe @failnaut But there was some thought of this from the very off - I booped Pat on the nose, and then immediately invented the...
-
@patrickashe @failnaut ... elbow boop because that was too invasive of personal space. I do worry about consent within the game, though.
-
@patrickashe @failnaut (& if there's a regret I have about Boop, it's the lack of explicit means to tell people they were/are over the line)
-
@failnaut @patrickashe for regular elbow-boop, no : more invasive boops are explicitly flagged as needing "the correct social context"
-
@mink_ette @tigershungry @nachimir @jonbro not to justify it, but worth remembering that this feeling is also part of the appeal.
-
@tigershungry @mink_ette @nachimir @jonbro I'm still really sorry about that, but that was more about me being clumsy/violent than consent.
-
@tigershungry @jonbro @mink_ette @nachimir ugh, yeah. (but still, there are contexts where that could be fine! _very_ particular contexts)
-
@jonbro @mink_ette @tigershungry @nachimir GFP specifically says "[Boop is easy]. Booping someone spectacularly is hard."

@ammonite @mink_ette @tigershungry @jonbro "Advanced boop" (nose-to-nose) came from a misreading, and was mistaken for an invitation to kiss

Having to assert dominance is so boring... it's really a prisoner's dilemma type thing.
-
@v21 Like, if it's a good joke, I don't really care if I'm in the high-status role or not.
-
@v21 but then someone else takes that as a sign to test their actual social dominance, and then it's like.... ughhhhhhh. no. that's not it.
-
@v21 is this one of these things that's actually a really gendered experience that everyone accepts as normal and no-one talks about?

@jonbro I've got to the point I think "oh, I should make a panel for this" and I ... just can, without fussing? Took me years to get here.
