Why can't people have opinions on language?
Aesthetic preferences are valid.

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

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.

Replying to @mr_archenemy @MorlockP and
what'd he say? I actually have rather strong opinions about bios and will not be altering mine from its current ideal form
