You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

because, you know, that's what humans do when we isolate a new concept, we don't call it "that one bird that's kind of like that other bird except it's green", we give it a name. denying a name is to deny that the concept exists, which is willfully stupid, because it does exist.

try reading the comment you're replying to next time. it's not about "justifying myself" to anyone, it's about there being a word for a real thing.

i like talking about the way things work. sometimes, i get into discussions about the nuts and bolts of human sexuality. in that context, it is very useful to have a word for a thing that people experience! is "bisexual" a "sparkle label" now, or is it just describing a real concept? by your logic, they should just call themselves "homo-heterosexuals", because gosh, who needs a sparkle label for both? why should they have to justify themselves to anyone? they're just homosexual when they're attracted to one, and heterosexual when they're attracted to the other. they're not bisexual, they're just attracted to everyone, that doesn't need a name.

that's kind of how you sound right now. i was kind of almost willing to think you were working in good faith from your last comment, but now i get the impression you're just really invested in making sure people don't talk about their experiences with sexuality unless they're palatable to you. that's kind of weird, dude.

monosexual already has a meaning, it's a catch-all meaning "not bisexual". it also makes no sense because mono means " one", not "none".
