    Binding of Isaac fans on the Escapist?

    ehhh sort of. It has co-op features but they're way more limited than like, having two Isaacs onscreen. I forget all of the details, but it has something to do with player 2 operating more like a familiar, and I think there's something about health sharing. However it does generate a code...

    Good Scenes In Otherwise Mediocre Films/Comics/Etc?

    Say what you will about Bioshock 2, but the bit where you was glorious. As for something that's not a game. I was really unenthusiastic about the prospect of an Evil Dead reboot, and for the most part my suspicions were accurate. But, the entire final sequence almost, almost makes it...

    Are we creating a generation of victims?

    The reason you'll see this response is that, in the absence of actual equality, it can be really difficult (if not impossible) to define what a truly neutral position would actually even be. At least in a broad, non-personal kind of sense. It's really easy to say that you're neutral because you...

    Binding of Isaac fans on the Escapist?

    I doubt it's going to be postponed at this point, thankfully. My understanding is that the game is basically finished, but Edmund can't actually set the release date. It has to come down from Sony or something. I know that way back when the remake was announced they didn't have a set art...

    Binding of Isaac fans on the Escapist?

    I absolutely love The Binding of Isaac. It's probably my favorite game of the past 5 years, or longer. It's definitely my most played. I know the game has a pretty devoted fandom, but I don't really see much of it here around the Escapist. In case you don't know, the game is getting a...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    Well I care D: Sorry, that did get more out of hand than I really wanted, but I was just trying to clear up misunderstandings that other people had brought up. But I think the rest of your post strikes at the heart of why the tumblr hate around here can feel so off. We hate to be...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    Superwholock fandom is a very...weird case (though the thing that comes close would probably be Homestuck). I'm not totally informed on how Superwholock works, but I know a lot of people insist that homosexual stuff is pretty natural to the source. That could just be so much projection, but...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    I can see the temptation to equivocate these things (I even compared it to kink in one of my posts), but surely you can realize, at least socially, the distinction between preferring a hair color and literally not experiencing any kind of sexual attraction to anyone unless you establish some...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    I'm pretty sure that I made it clear that I was sexual in my first post. In fact the entire intention of that post was to get across what a demisexual experience is like, and why it's distinct from, for lack of a better word, "normal" sexual attraction. Since a common response is something along...

    It definitely happens. Rule 34 is blind.

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    The origins of the word are dubious (and more complicated than just the forum thing, as it ties into words like semi-sexual and gray-asexual which go back further) but it's still commonly used now. I'm sure we could all find lists of typical words in the English language with stupid origins if...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    I wasn't actually trying to say "it's like asexuality, but." In my story I initially considered myself asexual because I was in middle school and that was my understanding of terms, but I was confused because I had a sex drive and I didn't think that was supposed to happen if you were asexual...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    I never said I wasn't sexual? Demisexual is still sexual, it's just a label for a particular kind of attraction. Would it help if you looked at it like kink or something? Some people are into BDSM, some people aren't. Some people have visual based sexual attraction, some people don't.

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    Oh trust me, I have a very active sex drive. And asexuality has nothing to do with demisexuality. When asked about it, the given definition for demisexuality may be something like "halfway between asexual and sexual" but that's for the sake of convenience.

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    Speaking as someone who is demisexual, ahem. I used to consider myself asexual as a teenager, because while I had a sex drive it wasn't really directed at anything. I never looked at people and registered them as "attractive" or "unattractive." I actually had some weird juvenile moments of...
