I just realized my discomfort with Jackbox games which involve more personal questions is likely because those games are probably supposed to be played between close friends.

Not close friends as in we meet up some times a year because that's all we are able to do but we like and trust each other, but close friends as in people who know a lot about each other, regularly talk to and feel comfortable not being nice to all the time because we can mess with each other without it being serious.

"Normie" is a really loaded word. I wish there were ways to talk about people outside certain communities, though? Especially, like, outside of specific community subsets one can be

Quite frankly, I think it's weird how a lot of people think mainstream media reflects how basically everyone's lives are like.

I like living in a world where neurodivergent, alterhuman, polyamorous, nonbinary, varioriented people (among many others) exist. I like how people's interests can include programming, fanfics, solarpunk, ASCII art, furries, cryptids and other things.

And I like living in a world where those people don't need to be isolated because they are tokens/"one in a million".

I haven't read Earthsong and Ava's Demon in years, and there is a comic I can't even remember the name I haven't read in months. I have probably read more stuff during my teenage years I forgot about.

I'm following Gunnerkrigg Court and Sleepless Domain, though.

I have read many ongoing webcomics, but I forget to revisit most of them >_>

it gets me a bit salty when people are like "well there is no label for me, because X is not well-known enough and Y is too broad so people won't understand my specific experience from it"

bonus points when some of the justifications are "it looks weird" or "it sounds like some other word" or stuff like that

you are /choosing/ not to use the labels that could fit you, that doesn't mean they don't exist

I'm not sure if this is problematic in some way, but I like terminology such as MP (maximally privileged) to describe more systemic issues, or examples and such, without inferring people being otherwise privileged is the default.

So you can say, for instance, that certain things mostly benefit MP women or MP trans people or MP people in general, without saying/implying being cis or het or ablebodied or a man or white or rich or neurotypical trumps the rest.

Existing identities can inspire more specific/obscure/"niche" identities without them being a mockery of the original identities or "wannabe"/"fake" identities.

Understand communities before bashing them. Evaluate what harm they can possibly do and how. Don't blame literal minorities (not necessarily as groups that are more marginalized, I'm talking about smaller groups) for the harm society does to large(r) groups of people.
