7/ Although - DAMNIT ! - I can't let this go without being fair to my poly acquaintances and steelmanning it. They'd argue "but it's not ABOUT titillation or sex - it's about multiple fulfilling relationships!" sigh

8/ not so much "missing", as "not addressing" JAB and I are both specifically talking about one set ...and it's not the set you're talking about. My experience of poly is people who talk about it ENDLESSLY.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189195755891896322 …

Eddie, Son of Richard @random_eddieReplying to @MorlockP @j_arthur_bloomYou're missing an excluded middle here. People who a) have consensual, non-monogamous relationships (so there's nothing "on the sly" about it) but b) don't make a big deal about calling their relationships "consensual, non-monogamous".3 replies 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

9/ Well, sure. Selection bias. But it's legitimate to judge those who select into set X, and not address those who do not.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189196296688734208 …

My thread is about the TERMINOLOGY. I specifically said that other terms for the EXACT SAME THING were sexy.

Replying to @MorlockP @drethelin and
The other terms you mentioned are not, in fact, the exact same thing. Mistress does not equal ... whatever the poly kids call it today. The fact is, there aren't good terms for it, so the nerds invented some pretty awful terms to meet their needs, as nerds are wont to do.

the even younger kids would just eyeroll and say "ugh, so cringe" which i think captures it pretty well

just finishing the quillette article, and in fact he seems to be calling for tradgenerates to save poly from the geodesic dome-dwellers currently consigning its reputation to cringeville. alas, gentrification is probably pretty unlikely.
