MODERATORS
They apologised for the tone and that it wasn't meant to be a call-out of Hexbear, they haphazardly mentioned the "volcel poIice" meme as a joke and didn't understand the intent behind it: https://hexbear.net/comment/6147530
I'm saying this as a sex-negative ace person who found the original post kinda aphobic, though I didn't say so explicitly at the time. In one of my comments there they replied that they were "being combative for no reason and immediately regretted after hitting post": https://hexbear.net/comment/6147126
Hey look! It's me!
But yeah, I had the same concerns you did, and they explained themselves that they just weren't really thinking about how it would come across. Their reaction did seem genuine, if their goal was to cause a struggle they probably would've been a lot more combative in the comments and much less apologetic.
grandmas tell the coolest stories
Pretty reasonable. Calling anyone a prude for their personal decisions about their own bodies and self-expression is uncool. Really, forcing yourself into anyone's space that you are not apart of, and trying to force them to change their behavior for your conformity, especially when their behavior causes no harm to them or you, is antithetical to a culture of diversity and acceptance.
I know it isn't the same thing, but is being quick to judge other people based on their level of kink what makes someone a prude? That's how I've used the word, but it seems to have a more flexible definition these days.
