yo bro you still alive? :(

absolutely faded off that damn shrek forever after cart watching kamala harris's stream on twitch. i think i love this little life

My god has this been a rude awakening. My lifelong avoidance of multiplayer games for fear of toxicity had in recent years become largely theoretical, it'd been half a lifetime since I ever actually dealt with an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ online - well, now it's not theoretical. And yes, I'm thin skinned and these interactions shouldn't have triggered my flight or fight instinct with heart racing and needing to walk away from the computer. But turns out that somebody's thoughtless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is still enough to ruin my day.

I consider myself an LGBTQ ally, I am in an open and mixed orientation marriage. However, I find nearly any girl-on-girl stuff very triggering. Yes, I am fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds, but I had a bad experience, and ever since, that sort of subject matter threatens to send me into a panic attack whenever I see it, therefore, I stay away from it. Please do not take this as me being judgemental, or targeting any certain group of people. It is nothing more or less than for the benefit of my mental health. I am willing to elaborate as to the circumstances if you want to message me privately!

A WOMAN can be beautiful and amazing, but if I see any hint of my Mom or my sister in her facial features - a little switch goes off in my brain and any attraction is gone.
