      I can’t even imagine how that claim comes out true in Queer Theory.

      For the record, "erotic" and "eros" are explicitly much broader terms in queer theory than in everyday usage It's not just queer theory either, it's a very common thing, arguably going back to ancient Greece itself

      Isn't Eros literally the Greek god of lust?

      That's actually one of the most obvious examples of the multiple meanings of the term There's Eros (Cupid) who's Aphrodite's son and shoots arrows to make you fall in love, yes There's also Hesiod naming Eros as a primordial creator deity who created all other life

      After Gaea and Tartarus arose from Chaos came Eros, whose existence enabled the union of opposites that enabled all other gods to come into being You can say he represents "sex" but it's in an obviously metaphorical, abstract sense

      That's where Freud and Jung got this shit about "eros" just meaning "desire" or "life force" in the first place Plato writing all this shit about how eros is the yearning to make a true connection outside the self so that something new might be created

      Of which actual sexual intercourse and pregnancy was, in Plato's view, just the most common and least enlightened example When you say "platonic love" to mean non-sexual love the word for love Plato used, from which we get that term, was "eros"

      I mean this shouldn't be that hard to get What's the Latin name for Eros the god again? "Cupid" What does "cupidity" actually mean in English today? Usually it's desire... for money, not sex (the dictionary has it as a synonym for "avarice" or "greed")

      Right, but here you're trying to redefine a Greek word by appealing to a different (English) word derived from its later Roman counterpart. Synonyms don't work like that! Even words from the same root diverge over time. Why use 'eros' as a root if you mean something else? (1/2)

      As for Plato, his view of Eros was such a departure from his contemporaries' that we still call it 'Platonic love' today. By all means clarify if you mean Plato's vision, but you can't claim you're not knowingly being ambiguous, or feign surprise when people misunderstand. (2/2)

      A use of a term that in the modern era goes back to Freud, at least, can't be called a product of "postmodernism" or said to be "obscure"

          I haven't said either. But do you see that if you're assuming that Freud's redefinition of Plato's redefinition of an ancient Greek word is obviously the correct one, and people still using it for its original meaning are just uneducated or irrelevant, it might cause confusion?

          It's not "the correct one", and it's not a wildly different take on the usual definition either, it's a spectrum When someone says "Wow, that's a sexy car" you don't think they literally want to have sexual intercourse with the car do you
