like his refusal to form deeper connections on earth is, like, part of why his dynamic with rocky is so meaningful. it’s not indicative of his identity, and it’s not actually He Loves Earth So Much.

it’s a man so isolated and insulated that even after the years he worked as a teacher, even after the years he worked in stratt’s vat, he genuinely has not formed a true relationship with anyone in his life, and no amount of saying he cares about people or his students or earth was ever going to make him willing to die for them. it’s cowardice and it’s refusing to be a part of the world around him and it’s deliberately holding people at arm’s length; even to his own detriment.

Explaining to young adults the importance of bodily autonomy and agency in sexual encounters is porn rot, apparently. Knowing the difference between coerced and enthusiastic consent absolutely couldn't apply to things like dangerous/traumatic, non-kinky sexual encounters like, I don't know. Spousal rape. Or sex while intoxicated. Or medical abuse. Having the correct vocabulary for things has, of course, historically hurt people. Because assault or dubious-consent sex doesn't happen if you never learn about it.

People like OP drive me absolutely insane. You're so rad-pilled that you can't comprehend that knowledge is power, especially in vulnerable situations like sex. Understanding red flags to look for is vital to your safety, and the way a partner communicates boundaries and safety discussions is an incredible indicator.

Consent applies to normal-ass sex. I don't like being fingered, or receiving oral sex. I don't consent to it. It's a hard limit, and one i didn't know how to communicate before interacting with a sex educator that specialized in kink that visited the boutique I worked at. I was taught that anything that wasn't violent was expected and owed in sex, and that not liking certain acts meant I didn't like sex and couldn't provide for a partner. It took interacting with "deviants" to learn that no, actually, someone cannot demand anything from me sexually.
