Aphobia is bigotry against () or () people (sometimes agender, too). And in the following posts I will do a little explainer.

(I won't talk about agender, because I'm not agender.)

is and wrong. What's the point? / people just wanna vibe. 😉

It's fine to not be that into or . It's fine to not feel sexually or romantic attracted to anyone. It's fine if you do have sex, but only rarely.

Sex and romance are deeply personal things, so don't let society put you down.

But aphobia says the opposite. Aphobia says that it is NOT okay, thus forcing everyone into sex and romance, even if it doesn't work.

Why I am ! All of the in the article about being dead at 52.

Very important details are botched!

For the record, was watching incest , and was going to for the of having with animals, not the other way around.

In fact, in a preliminary last week I heard Karen Elon Musk say as he was charged with animal necrophilia “Gee your honor I didn’t know the cat was dead when I was it.”

I mostly play jrpgs, but after 100 hours of Unicorn Overlord, I needed a break. I have some games for Playstation in my backlog and I don’t normally collect for the console unless I find something at a good price or an exclusive. I bought two more Vanillaware games, Odin Sphere and Dragon’s Crown, which I intend to play later. However, I still had a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 laying around and never got to it after picking it up some months ago. I have a faint idea that the game had serious problems when it came out. If it had, it doesn’t anymore, just the occasional crash here and there. The most annoying one happened on a mission with Claire to participate on a street race. I suck at driving but, for some reason, I ride her pickup truck – aptly called Beast – fairly well. So I was in the middle of the first race and the game crashed. Then, I finished the race and won, and the game crashed. Then, I finished it in second place and the game didn’t crash. Well then, second place it is. I never experienced those crashes anymore and won the subsequent races. After we finished she asked if I’d help her kill her husband’s murderer during the last race. I obliged because I’m not in Night City to be a good person. I kill whomever I want, when I want, how I want and go to bed with everyone I fancy and pay for sex without a second thought.

In jrpgs we have to save the world to get the girl we like in the end. It’s real work and dedication. The character development is also so extensive that by the time we reach the end we have spent a while choosing the right things to say, advancing through a support level system, giving gifts, doing things together, a bit like in real life. In Night City, and also a bit like in real life, we can pay and have someone fake their interest in us. It’s the perspective from the other side. Since I’ve never paid for sex in real life, I might as well try it in a simulated environment and the experience was acceptable. I went to bed with a character after getting an sms to meet and it felt completely random because I didn’t know what was going to happen. It was that unlikeable Corpo executive woman right at the start of the game, when I was still getting my bearings. After the mission where she offered me money to retrieve a Militech drone, I didn’t accept it because I didn’t trust her intentions, and chose the less likeable dialogue options. So, by the time I got her sms, I chose the option «Shame. Was starting to like you…» not because I did but because I was being sarcastic. And then, bang, I ended up in bed with her. I enjoyed Night City.

Not long after, I was in another district ready to meet Evelyn and there were some folks on the street. A guy asked me something and I was so overwhelmed checking the menus and trying to learn the game that I said yes and paid a small fee. I honestly thought it was a mission of some kind. I went to bed with him, or I’d rather say, he went to be with me and that was it. So, I learned how it worked and approached a woman standing on the other side of the street and this time, armed with knowledge, I asked if she wanted to go with me and I paid the fee. I think I went to bed with more people but now, after some hours of gameplay, I don’t remember. In real life I have a preference for women, or I’d rather say, for people who identify as women, despite the body they were born with. One day I was talking about trans issues with my wife and I asked if she would consider staying with me if I transitioned from female to male. The question was relevant at the time because it came from a period where I had to figure myself out. She said yes, she would stay with me. She earned herself rank S++ with me without even knowing it. To those who are curious, I’m still very much a cisgender woman, however that realization didn’t come without some soul searching.

In Cyberpunk, people perform their gender freely and have all types of sexual preferences and fantasies. They also have agency, wants and needs. I met Panam and I was on a spree getting into bed with everyone in my way, or killing everyone in my way, depending on the mission. We were paying for a hotel room and she insisted on getting a room with separate beds. I still made an advance but she said no. Later down the line, another opportunity arose. I had to test the game. I made my advance and she said no again. Ok, a second no is much more awkward than the first one and by then I was just being creepy. I felt ashamed, but at the same time it’s only natural that not everyone is into us, contrary to jrpgs or L-word. Panam likes our V (it’s the name of our character) and that’s what matters. I see her as an annoying friend that’s always getting into trouble and calls me screaming for help and the help always involves me failing at stealth and killing everyone on my path and then getting scolded for it. I like Panam.

In jrpgs our character is usually a young boy. A clueless, naive boy for whom all the female characters fall for no matter what he does. Everyone says yes and the agency is on him to choose his partner. His love interest is by default in love with him. The only thing we have to do as a player is to rise in the ranks until the option to romance is prompted. In games like Persona 3 Portable we can romance several people (I’m not sure if we have to, to get max social link, but I think so – they changed that in Reload) and in Fire Emblem Three Houses we can only give our ring to one person. If the person is female she’ll always be interested in our character if we’re playing as male, as long as we get the A-support rank. In case we play as a female Byleth the same-sex romance options are more limited. If we play as a male Byleth and happen to be gay or curious, there’s only one romance option. This sends a message, doesn’t it? Or am I reading too much into things? All in all, thank the goddess that Rhea is bissexual. It was the only thing I wanted to know, since I refuse playing as a guy in jrpgs if I have the other option.

Back to Cyberpunk, no really means no, much like the no I had to give River Wards when we were having the conversation. I had no intention whatsoever in landing on a relationship with him, but the way they structured the conversation left a tightness in my chest. Still, I had to be true to myself. River is not my type. The last mission of his storyline was great and it had a good dose of creepy moments. The way his parents died when he was young was gruesome and like out of a home invasion horror movie. The mission went well, as much as things can go well in Night City, which is not much, just enough to get by. Then I jumped into another set of quests and I was hunting Cyberpsychos across the city as instructed by Regina.

By this time I’d already driven on my motorcycle collecting tarot cards. They have beautiful designs and I recommend getting all of them. However, the first cyberpsycho came before the tarot card hunt and I thought I had to kill him. After a while Regina started getting a bit passive-aggressive with me because I was killing what she saw as test subjects and it was most desirable to make a tiny bit of effort to keep them alive in order to save them. Well, I didn’t know about that! The last half of cyberpsychos were handled with care and in stealth mode or using my blades to defend from bullets, parrying melee attacks and doing counterattacks, or using quickhacks. Using defensive combat was as effective as using stealth. I had to take a break from my killing spree but the reward was nice in the end – probably could be nicer if I hadn’t killed the first half of them – a Playstation trophy popped and it’s always good when it does.

I still have the police side activities and some minor requests to do before progressing the main story but I don’t know if I’ll finish them. Before I make some progress, I have Judy’s quest to complete. I want to see where the main story goes but I also can’t get enough of Night City and its many secrets. It’s a nice game and much less buggy than Starfield which I also played for hours on end.

In my first undergraduate social psychology class ever, I taught Connor! Now he's publishing awesome stuff about attitudes towards sex-bots!

"My inkling is that social sexism relates to robot sexuality, inherently," Leshner said, explaining sexists might prefer robots specifically because they're less than human. "... If (some) men are more interested in sex robots because they're less human, then how do they view women?"

This is an interesting study but I am skeptical of the results because they seem to have excluded some portion of the #LGBTQIA+ community, as well as used a very small sample size.

I am sure that some Sexist cis men are interested in robot replacements for cis women, but in my experience there's a strong interest in #tech #sex among #queer people that has a lot to do with exploring #gender and sexuality, not replacing anyone.

🦆 We regret to inform you that spreadsheet orgy woman is a milkshake duck.

😾 ”Aella Girl,” the #Austin-based* online influencer/OnlyFans performer who is currently going viral on X/Twitter (& other social networks) for keeping detailed statistics of an #orgy, has a history of racist posts. She thinks colonialism was good and drug laws stopped being racist in the 70s, among other meatballs beliefs.

🚨 Do not amplify and tell others to stop doing so.

💻 If you need more receipts, search for what this white woman had to tweet about racism. Definitely a milkshake duck. Below are just a couple of examples. For bonus points, she thinks a survey she did of a few thousand of her fans makes her an expert on defining racism.

:antifa: pro-tip: We support the rights of sex workers of all kinds, and the right to keep nerdy statistics about your sex life too. But we don't support fashy trash. (1/2)

@jboy55 and 2 others yea to be clear i think america's history was full of racism, and as recently as the 70s the drug laws fucked up a ton of black families down the line the stuff i don't like is the focus on privilege and blame and some of the claims on what 'systemic' means @Aella_Girl · Jun 18, 2021 Replying to @jboy55 @NotJakeMarcum and @itsJeffTiedrich all yall are so uncharitable here; twitter is hard to have nuanced debates with, I'm trying to say that my conception of CRT involves things in addition to teaching about racism, that seem damaging to me. Your conception about CRT may be different and i'm open to hearing that @Aella_Girl · Jun 18, 2021 Replying to @NotJakeMarcum and @itsJeffTiedrich naw, i mean i think it's extremely important to teach about racism, slavery, and the impacts it's had reaching to today - I'm talkin about full on CRT stuff, which has many other things bundled in @Aella_Girl · Mar 23, 2022 Gentle reminder that in a survey I did of 7,381 people, only 17.3% defined racism as "prejudice + power."
