I get what you’re saying, i had not considered it could be interpreted like this.

For the record i do think you exist and are valid.

Just because our brains are flexible enough to adjust for otherwise unmet needs does not mean thats it’s a satisfying happy life, que the history of desperate repressed hetero men sharing a room. But any emotional closeness even to a human is better than depressed isolation.

I also consider non sexual relationships like “bromance” to be part of this trend. Showing emotional affection between non lover friends, especially those not in a relationship should be more normalised.
