corvaxgirlAfter reading an article on how we need to protect our pwerious polyamory from the Horrible Swary Mainstream, I've realize: I am so over the subculture police. I was over it in paganism (*gasp!* Wiccans on tv! The movie The Craft is Wrong!), I was over it in steampunk (OMG Hot Topic likes steampunk! DISASTER!), and now I'm over it in poly.
People, nothing you're doing in any of these subcultures is all that exciting. So your mom now has an inkling about your religion, so what. So your friend slapped some gaters onto her skirt and put some goggles on her head and went to a goth club that way, so what. So your friends want to try a different relationship model that could make their lives messy, so what. It happens in mono all the time (Dane Cook: "Let's wait five years and then end this relationship violently."). Is your life seriously that boring that you care that much that other people obvs think something you do is cool and/or interesting and would like to try it out themselves? So they're doing it wrong. Um, guess what, everyone remembers that first dumbass spell you did, the first woke up in bed with two other people and freaked, and that disaster you called your first steampunk "outfit".
Whatever. Get over it. Get a hobby. Start spinning yarn or something.
