No definitely not shit posting lol sorry if it seemed that way.

I didn't want to really reveal anything, but this is a personal thing as I know someone who is in this situation. And no I'm not reporting them, that's not only a literal death sentence for them but I've known this person long enough to know they'd never hurt anyone. They opened up about seeing pictures when we were drunk a long time ago and so it bothers me when I see the hatred because I think of my friend so I'm just getting a feel for what people think.

Then this sounds like an actual mental health thing and not a dog whistle. I don't actually have any answers. Just years of experience reading useless internet comments.

Seek a professional if you can. I don't even know if you're in a nation where just looking for help wouldn't get you or your friend killed. Good luck.

Thanks! That's kind of how I feel too, it's a really difficult topic because of what was mentioned before as far as connecting mental health to attraction, but there definitely seems to be some forms of attraction that are problematic.

From what I remember at the time, I believe he said he can't go get help because they have a duty to report him if he were to bring it up. Anyway, thanks for the time!

Imagine my own shame and horror at discovering Iā€™m only sexually attracted to drunk people.
