I'm surprised that a lot of people still find polyamory weird (hexbear.net)

It's 2026! It's almost 2027!

What the heck is wrong with a group of people that all love and support each other? It sounds great!

If people didn't judge it so badly I would have realised that it's what I want a lot sooner.

EDIT: I haven't read the comments yet why are there so many... oh... oh no

Should I have prefaced this by saying I mean healthy, non-patriarchal polycules? I thought that would have been obvious. The fact that people defaulted to thinking I meant Mormon style with one dude and a bunch of waifus is kind of what I meant when I said people get the wrong idea about it.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm not mad because struggle sessions over unexpected things are pretty funny. But it's a little disappointing too, I guess.

He's full of shit anyway because the most patriarchal societies were polygamous. Are we seriously entertaining the idea that a society where women could be concubines are somehow freer than what we have now? I guess some random Tang emperor with thousands of concubines is the model of what all polyamorous relationships aspire towards.

    Are you seriously equating polyam people with "some random Tang emperor"? What kind of bad faith bullshit is that? And then you make up scenarios in another thread about how this could lead to the CIA doing polywashing to justify imperialism and how that's a totally real concern we should take seriously. Please go and touch grass, this is disgraceful.
