i really dug this hour long video essay about VRChat, gender play, and how platforms are shaped by the historical accident of the communities that form them. youtube.com/watch?v=5v_Dl7i4Bcw

still thinking about this. i am continually drawn to things which find non-normative gender or sexuality within otherwise straight and cis contexts. there's so much rich queer experience outside the things people like to label that way.

and I don't especially think it's valuable or helpful to label this stuff as queer, when it's cis-genderedness or heterosexuality is one of it's defining traits @v21/1151814848424161281

maybe this is me being old or old-fashioned, though - I definitely feel the temptation to moan about kids these days with their ever more precise demarcations of sexuality and gender (and also much more widespread acceptance of openly queer identities)

like, maybe this is in part nostalgia for the formative memories of youth, delighting in wearing a dress at a fancy dress party and jerking off my straight (???) friend in a spirit of experimentation.

don't ruin those precious memories for the kids by calling them eggs, I guess is what I'm saying
