I apologise, what I said in the thread came off as rather cruel. What I meant was more along the lines of, what if they impact the world...

Five for kids, and none for adopting? *grumbles*

You don't have to explain a thing, this is the spam zone after all.

Where lies the deterrent?

Are you a doctor, or aren't you?

I was curious as to who would want a child and their reasons involved therewith. Adopting I can understand to an extent, but I do not understand why anyone would conceive a child by choice. Do they think it through? Their friends are trying for children, their parents entertain the thought of grandkiddies. They live in a society where childless adults are oft pitied, and it is assumed that such persons were unable to 'get it on' in bed. But a child is a sentient being, a responsibility of gigantic proportions. I very much doubt that if a person really, truly thought it over -- they would still want a child.

Once the child moves past that blind, malleable, developmental stage...

And so on, so forth. Just a few of the many possibilities most people don't mull over. Children are too much responsibility for me, maternal feelings come and go (and if I wanted to entertain such things I could adopt a domesticated animal, or adopt a child if they stay and fester; least then I would not be doing harm unto the world's already exceeding carrying capacity).[DOUBLEPOST=1379857221][/DOUBLEPOST]Hah. I don't know why I didn't post this in the discussions subforum.

Quite a lot of Redwall fanart. My brother really liked that series.

I'll narrow it down, then. If I can't tell the person's sex, they're doing it right. I find slim muscles attractive, hair not so much but it all depends on the person's physique I suppose. Androgyny pleases me.

Spoiler: attractive individuals, men & women alike

An old photo, and obviously a woman but Brigitte Helm receives bonus points for the kitty. Suited women are universally attractive.

As an offhand note, I wonder when it will become a social norm for men to wear dresses. Probably quite unlikely as it it hinders movement, pants may have caught on because they didn't. Wearing pants may have been 'empowering,' wearing dresses (unless you belong to the respective sex) is degrading to most.

You stalk your own thread. You never even told us what *your* kinks were.

Reviving this thread. It had potential, and it ended prematurely.

I have a thing for cross-dressers. Manly women/feminine men. I do not know from where it stems, with the former persons I suspect it's a mix of reverence. I have the utmost respect for cross-dressing women. I'm not sure if it's that I want to be them or I am attracted to them, probably both. Maybe I just like surprises. In any case, cross-dressing women excite me like no other creature, they make me blush. Of course I like feminine/boyish men in dresses as well, it isn't exclusive to one gender.

Sexual attraction is secondary in importance, personal features are at the forefront in prominence. Hence it's kind of difficult for me to pinpoint 'kinks,' I think this counts but am unsure. I have never been ruled by sexuality, I wouldn't jump anyone or anything like that and I'd be fine with a cis-gendered significant other just the same. I guess this breaches into kink territory, tho'.

Two words: The Sentry.

He's overpowered as all hell, and as Jiku put it: strength and likability are not interrelated in the least. No one likes Robert Reynolds. I hate Robert Reynolds. The most interesting aspect of Bobby's character is how writers will endeavor to write him out of a fight, because any fight he engages in has a sure outcome: his inevitable win. He's an attempt at 'Superman if he had mental issues,' and this guy isn't even an adequate model for mental illness in comics. He's good for fuck all nothing, not even his [very very forced] weaknesses are interesting.

If you want to see representation among those lines, though... Hank Pym.

I wasn't going to post any more in this thread, but as I skimmed it I read something to the effect of 'people shouldn't be compelled to classify themselves as this or that because labels are merely a title,' and I feel like giving my two cents. It was Misty, I believe.

I can understand the sentiments behind that line of thought. It is true that people will often adopt certain labels like Straight or Gay, effectively shoehorning themselves into either/or. However, it is flawed in that it doesn't take into consideration other fluid sexual orientations like Bisexuality, Demisexuality, or Pansexuality -- sexualities which, by definition, acknowledge that sexuality is indeed a sliding scale; freedom of uber proportions is granted to those who identify with the aforesaid. There's nothing particularly constricting about identifying as Pan or Bi. But yes, if you are only looking at Heterosexuality/Homosexuality for answers then your perspective is a tad skewed. There are applicable labels for nigh everything, I don't appreciate it when people shirk them just for the sake of it (see: Morrissey, the self-proclaimed celibate nonsexual to whom no labels apply [don't be a Morrissey]).

For reference, this Robyn Och quote that's been circling tumblr as of late:

(As for myself... When prompted to answer in a social setting, I answer Bi. Albeit in private I identify as Pan, I don't expect the average layman to recognise the term so I don't even bother. Bisexuality is not inaccurate per se, it simply doesn't resonate with me as strongly as Pansexuality does. It's fitting enough for the public eye to digest, it gets the meaning [or the gist of it] across anyways.)
