A new year, Sizecon, my third group YCH story and more.
10 years ago
<p id="journal">
I think a couple of things should be said now that the contemporary has shifted into the last 24 hours of 2K15 (12 over here in Europe as of writing this). No, I'm not referring to New Years Resolutions; solutions for one's current problems and aspirations for the future should be made right at the moment - you shouldn't wait a whole year to do that. However, there are some topics that I feel are at the right time to be discussed.
Right off the bat, I want to discuss Sizecon a very little bit (pun somewhat intended), as there is only one thought I have on it. Because this is the very first macro / micro-oriented convention ever organized in the history of mankind, and me being a very conspicuous fan of size difference, I'd say my two cents are more than well warranted. Even though it's over in NYC and I live across the pond, having travelled very few times. Point being that I wouldn't go thee anyway, but I still think I'm in a position to say something about it due to me comprising SC's target audience.
I've peeked at their site just to familiarize myself with the organization, the variety of things there would be to do at the con, all that jazz. And eventually I stumbled upon one thing that turned me off as opposed to turning me on: the fact that there will probably be a shitload of adult content. Of course, I get how mega-popular porn is and how it invades everything, and that's fine with me, it's just that I don't like porn. Go ahead and call me a 'special snowflake' for proclaiming to have been born without an interest in something the supposed vast majority is very interested in, the compliment is appreciated.
They say on their site how "of course, not everything will be sexual in nature", which reasonably leads me to the conclusion that the main course will be porn, and that there will be so much of it that the organisation found it wasn't worth segregating into an exclusive 18+ section (yes, the con is for adults only). I get how size difference has a higher perceived image of being a sexual fetish rather than being a tame, leisure interest, but my point still stands. If there will indeed be as much adult content as I predicted here, then my aforementioned reasons are just from my perspective only as to why I dislike the con. If there will be just as much porn as general content, then that means the organization team is just shitty. My bet is on the former. I'll obligatorily reiterate: I don't hate porn, I don't want it to be banned, and I don't say I dislike porn just to be that one super unique individual that stands out from the crowd. I just find it annoying how it invades everything, but that's just how human nature works. We seek sexual pleasure in absolutely everything, and that's fine provided full consent is involved.
Secondly, I have plans in mind for another YCH group story, where I'll propose a plot with several character placeholders, that one of your characters could be occupying! My first ever story that followed this organisation and format was in January 2015, and I think it'd be appropriate to do it again that same time next year, wouldn't you say? I'll publicate the recruitment journal with the plot and character roles somewhere next month, so stay tuned!
Third thing is about Skype. I have been very inactive due to school work, but also just because I know you don't want to be bothered by me. It has happened before, and I'll really only start a conversation when I feel it can bear fruit. Not only roleplay, but talks about casual stuff too, y'know. But I want to dedicate this part of the journal to give a brief PSA about insecure Skype clingers and insecure individuals. My brother FattyDragonite has a 'friend' on Skype who is borderline obsessed with him, and according to witness testimony, with others as well. One of FD's other friends, who has this obsessive guy as a contact as well, told him how he has shown pictures of his penis to several of his contacts without being asked to do so, and then demands that they do the same. He has attempted to solicit sexual e-services from my brother, too. When he doesn't comply, the obsessive person starts crying and whining about how they're "breaking up with him" and "leaving him alone".
The worst thing about this? The obsessive guy in question is 14 years old. FOURTEEN.
Then there's that other guy who's incredibly insecure and controlling. He has told my brother to stop watching "porn artists", when he's 16 and has the filter turned on, he thinks a simple disagreement with a friend constitutes "backstabbing", and much more to save for a later date.
This shit drives me insane. Point of this rant being that if any of my Skype friends start behaving this way, I'll remove them in an instant. Fortunately I haven't experienced any of this behavior from my Skype friends, and I doubt they're going to resort to this malarkey in the future. But beware of these clingers like a disease.
Last thing, the best Christmas present is a promise not to get somebody scratchcards, lottery tickets, or any other luck-based cash-for-cash commodities. I got €10 worth of scratchcards and before I even scratched them, I told my parents that I would win nothing anyway because I'm a unrealistically unlucky person and that it was a shitty gift. I promptly gave them to my brother who scratched them, and guess what? He won nothing. God forbid I get held hostage in a casino someday.
That said, now it's time to cower in fear of all the ear-tearing bangs outside from irresponsible shitstains throwing firecrackers around like confetti and putting home-crafted bombshells in mailboxes and trashcans.
