Not sure it makes it better, but you’re def not alone. Just today saw someone complaining about cheating in TV shows and getting lots of empathy and support.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I can't stand cheating and do not watch anything with cheating in it, regardless of if it's depicted as good or bad.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, It's hugely unpleasant. After much thought, I've decided it's because a) it happened to my sister and her husband blamed my parents for it, so it messed up the family for a long time and b) it's so easily resisted.

[(Anonymous)]

Cheating as a kink bores me. Anything from the cheater's POV where it's either lying to partners or desperately justifying things to themselves and trying to be a sympathetic protag is boring as heck too. If a character has to be a villain they should at least be entertaining or fearsome or extreme, and cheating isn't an entertaining or fearsome or extreme kind of evil, just petty and self-absorbed. Has a "cheater, for cheating" ever made a top 10 villains list? It's NPC-level boring af

I don't mind "cheating" plots where two people are openly in a political marriage and falling for others outside their official arrangement though. Or plots where characters find themselves falling for someone else and break up a first ship without having an affair before they do that.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's a particularly recent trend (see: Angel of the Morning, 1967) but yeah, not one I enjoy either. No personal cheating experience at all, I just think cheaters are cowardly liars who avoid having an adult conversation with their partner.

[(Anonymous)]

Damn Pina Colada song.

[(Anonymous)]

Cheating is a huge no for me too, and I've never been cheated on. Just an automatic nope out.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry about your situation, anon.

But I don't think it's any more prevalent than previously. Chances are you didn't notice because 1. you were too young to understand the song 2. were not as sensitive to the cheating narrative and therefore ignored it

I hope things get better.

[(Anonymous)]

Not an unpopular opinion, obviously. TBH sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who DOESN'T have any strong feelings about the idea of cheating.

[dani_phantasma]

I can understand that. It seems like a very scarring thing to go through. I just don't understand it really. Maybe it sounds strange but for me.. I'm pansexual yes but these days to go even as far as a kiss with someone in real life, I'd need something a connection. and I don't form that easily. I've been in a long distance relationship for a while and i don't have temptation to break what we have. I've gotten attempts -with guys here and there texting me (one I only traded info thinking they wanted help setting up an etsy shop but I'm not doing THAT again, it was probably a pretense looking back.) or trying to trade numbers and I refuse and block or leave the situation.

*shrug* not saying all this to brag or anything but just... i don't understand going through with the impulse to cheat on one's partner at all. And i'm probably also just really determined because of the idea people have of the cheater bi/pan person which i really REALLY resent. fuck's sake if I could be with anybody and I choose someone over anyone I could be attracted to.....there's a reason for it.

Infidelity in fics/movies/tv shows is an instant hit the back button for me. I haven't heard it much on radio or music but again I'm about 20 years behind on whatever is playing on the radio.

[(Anonymous)]

Infidelity is a common thing. I think it's always been popular in media and for song writers in general to create music about cheating. Whether it's someone being cheated on or doing the cheating or being the third person...heck, TLC's "Creep" is about a woman who cheats on her boyfriend because he's cheating on her.

I agree with Left Eye when she said she hated the song because it was promoting infidelity and lacking the thing she would have preferred, which was to dump her cheating boyfriend!!
Even as a kid, dancing and singing along to this song, I'd wonder why the singer doesn't just dump her boyfriend.

Always funny/weird to see someone have such a fundamentally different take.

[(Anonymous)]

Is Andromeda worth playing? I can't imagine the Mass Effect series without the geth so I never touched it :(

Oh hell yeah, iconic performance.

But this is FS and MJ is super-problematic, so I wouldn't expect anyone else here to chime in with fannish excitement.

...which actually makes this a great secret. Well done, OP.

In these here modern times, it's becoming very common to put things like accounts and passwords in wills so that in the event of a death, untimely or timely, someone has safe, legal access to any areas where you would want to let people know what happened. Whether you have a trusted friend/family member or can trust a lawyer to post a form letter for you, either way, you can stipulate such things. Hard to think about if you're only 20 and don't even know which sites will still be active in a decade or two, but less hard when your yahoo address is older than some of your friends (ahem).

Anyway, if putting something into writing in a safe place "just in case" takes the edge off the fear, do it, and know that you're not the only one doing it.

Phone Covers

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of phone cover do you have? Something colorful, fandom related or something you made yourself?

Mine is for an ancient phone with a case that's falling apart and hard to replace - so I've been covering it with Stickers and washi tape with electrical tape as the base to help hold it together, which is starting to look like something I would have had as a teenager.

Sometimes I think Conservative parties would have such a harder time winning votes if young liberal activists would not lose their goddamn minds over every little stupid thing. I think people vote for them just to see the whine-splosion and public dramatics.
