• Cause and effect Normalization

    Hot take: Adults wearing diapers really shouldn’t be a big deal

    An Oshawott wearing a white diaper with purple tapes and highlights. They are facing quarter turn to their left but looking right at you with a neutral pouty-expression

    But even though a lot of people might agree with this idea, the people who actually need to wear diapers often feel ashamed of themselves; ashamed to acknowledge it or to talk about that facet of their existence at all–and people who actually kinda like having them as part of their personal aesthetic often feel like something must be seriously wrong with them

    But why?

    What about diapers makes them instantly such a powerful magnet for so many bad vibes?

    • Is it because they imply something gross about your hygiene?
    • Is it because they are something normal people “grow out of” needing?
    • Is it because they imply you have an embarrassing disability? (Bonus hot take: No disability should be seen as “embarrassing”)

    Maybe some combination of all the above?

    I’d like to challenge these things, because one of my biggest hopes is that I can help normalize diapers as a thing people can wear–for any reason at all! Medical reasons, physical reasons, emotional reasons, joke reasons, curiosity reasons…any reason at all!

  • Morally quashing yourself Hidden kink

    “I want to exist, but I don’t want to be harmful” – a lot of us, probably

    After you get over the monumental hurdle known as “not loathing the fact you like things”, there is a common follow-up inner war that rages on inside of a lot of us; if it’s okay for us to exist, how much is is okay for us to exist?

    Of course we can’t roll up into every situation totally decked out in our new-found self acceptance. That extreme is very obviously a no-go, but I also don’t think that only allowing yourself to exist in ways that are imperceptible to others is the answer either.

    So where’s the line?
