Baffling, Niche and gatekeeping...
« on: Yesterday at 10:04:12 PM »
You know something that I find astounding about this site? That this interest/fetish/whatever you want to call it, is so niche, yet people on here are so judgemental, dismissive and are so prone to gate-keeping. When it's so difficult to find someone who is into what we're into (Regardless of specifics) there is really no reason to be so.... horrible? intolerant? antagonistic? You're not into what someone else is into? Not into how they are approach it? Be up front in a way that's kind and not shaming someone else. We're all people and none of us need it, especially when the world is such a s**t place, there's no need to make us feel bad with something we use for escapism. Likewise, don't pressure someone into something you're into that they are not. Different strokes for different folks, they aren't into it, move on. Don't harass people and if if I have made anyone feel that I am doing that on here, I sincerely apologise. If you said it wasn't your thing, I'd back off. Just be kind, be accepting, be firm but fair, be honest and don't be condescending, because it's so difficult finding like-minded individuals, and when you're into an environment where you feel that should be the case, and it isn't, there is nothing more disheartening and harmful!
