Does Not Compute

Warning - contains adult themes

I am so tempted to ditch Fetlife.  The local community disagreed heatedly on acceptable behaviour at munches.  Where the line should be drawn with regards to sexual harrassment, basically.  Were young vulnerable women being harrassed?  Was it just idle gossip inflicting grievous harm on an older guy's reputation?  Were the drama llamas just fueling the flames?

Whatever the above, a journal entry entitled 'Shame on the Perth Community' was unlikely to ease emotions.  And then, personal battles that had nothing to do with the original issue got hauled into the mix and it was fucking world war three for a while there.  I've given up on the munches for the time being.  Maybe in another couple of months or so, perhaps maybe perhaps.

And then the last week or so have just been constant flame wars about The Friend Zone.  Which is a perfectly valid topic, in my opinion, and of the five or six threads I have read about it in the past week, none of them quite hit the mark of how I feel about the topic.

There have been a lot of strong opinions from the extremes of the issue - all men are out to get sex, all women are heartless bitches who string nice guys along, nice guys need more personality to get girls, how soon do you need to register a sexual attraction, why would someone write such a strong opinion piece if they didn't want or expect to be taken down a peg or two.  It's just a lot of bullshit.  Which, to be honest, is a stronger phrase for me to use in writing than fuck lol.

If you don't agree with a person, don't comment on their thread.  Or, comment once, realise you aren't going to convert them to your point of view, and then move on.  Don't continually go back and forth for hours tearing shreds out of each other in the comments.

Am truly, truly sick of it.  And the only good part of Kinky and Popular used to be the writing, the photos and videos are usually very generic.  Now the writings are filled with he said, she said.

I was going to write something along these lines on Fet itself, but I couldn't even think where to start that wouldn't add fuel to the fire.

Fucking drama llamas.
