I thought it was cool. I like the idea of microsexualities.

I like the concept of being acutely aware of what turns you on, but the idea you need to find others like you and make a flag about it for basic self-awareness to be valid is dumb...then going on to call such a niche a "sexuality" is beyond parody

I'm fond of city states and secession in principle, but think things like Sealand and a few other "microstates" are just silly, missing the point, in much the same way as this "microsexuality" idea

I think it's slowly leading people to a deeper, more functional understanding of human individuality, which is something a lot of people pay lip service to but many don't really appreciate.

I think it's subverting any deep or functional concept of human individuality, by treating it as a matter of simply not having specific enough categories (anyone wanting to be this precise about their sexual preferences would do better to explain them directly than to label them)
-
Well I think that last part is right, but I think creating infinite microsexualities is a way of explaining that truth to people with an object lesson. Plus, making flags and neologisms is fun as hell. And what's the harm?
-
I worry it will have the opposite effect...certainly it's fun to make up words and flags, like playing D&D etc, but you're kind of an asshole if you expect the world to care about your D&D character, and treat your game like it's real life. Not harmful, just asinine

But isn't that what individualism is really about? Expecting society to treat you as a unique individual rather than just another statistic, or cog in the machine?
