  • Here’s my attempt

    Tier 1: primary and secondary sex characteristics (my breast fetish is cliche); indicators of health or fertility such as muscles and flat/bigger stomachs (depending on whether starvation or obesity is a bigger concern where you are). This zone is the default, people assume you’re into this.

    Tier 2: other body parts such as feet, pits, body hair; extrapolations from tier 1 kinks such as lactation and post workout stink; I’ll also throw in role related ones such as mom/dad bods, being into certain professions or older/younger (adult) partners; also atypical body variants and body types not associated with health or fertility. This zone is normal but not the default

    Tier 3: I’d say is where you get into light bdsm, humanoid monster fuckers, etc. This zone is stuff where it’s way more common than people act, but still not the sort of thing normal people will casually mention

    Tier 4: heavier bdsm, nonhuman monsterfuckers. This is the “hear me out” zone and the realm of you know you’re kinky af, but it’s generally considered prudish to have a problem with people liking it, but not to not want to hear anything about it

    Tier 5: scat, flatulence, bug chasing, and other things where even the tier 4 people are often uncomfortable with it. Typically gross and/or destructive

    Yes, and you all understand just how controversial it is to do as well, considering that reintroducing predators is something people are trying on both our continents. Reintroducing wolves to the forests of the eastern united states may happen in my lifetime but is unlikely as the people who live where they would be enjoy hunting for meat and don’t like the idea of having to shoot wolves that get too bold. They’re currently controversially being reintroduced in the West like near Yellowstone. Other predators like cougars also need to be allowed to populate more. Even then though, nothing on this continent but humans is taking down boars. They’re giant and massively invasive, an ecological calamity.

    But for the time being, hunters should be switching to lead free shot, and they should continue hunting white tail deer. Target shooters should also be using lead free shot, in general if you don’t want particles of it in your bloodstream don’t shoot with it.







  • Yeah it’s vital that agreeing to try something new doesn’t feel unsafe. If the kid doesn’t like it a parent can eat it, it’s fine. And that’s not just for autistic kids, but it is especially for them. Adventurous behavior, especially in children, is associated with it feeling safe to push outside one’s comfort zone. That can mean trying kimchi or it can mean trying the monkey bars. Encouraging adventurous behavior is also good. You want the kid to be comfortable leaving their comfort zone and entering the growth zone. Food is just one element of it.

    I’ve had to help autistic adults learn that they can just try new things, fail, and be ok whether it’s setting up a doctor’s appointment, new foods, or new skills. Many people, but especially common in people diagnosed with autism as children, are raised where if something doesn’t go right the first time they’re scolded or punished or fussed over or whatever else discouraging behavior and it results in people who struggle to leave their comfort zones, which is crippling as an adult.



  • Finding nutritious safe foods is vital. People super into weights often eat a pre portioned amount of rice and chicken and all the spinach they want, and my autistic wife enjoyed doing that when she did it. Texture is huge but so is familiarity. For western autistic people safe foods tend to be heavily processed “kid foods”, make sure your kid’s idea of comfort foods isn’t that.

    Also encourage him to be brave and try new things with the safety of it not being commitment to the food, and as he’s older talk to him about what he likes and doesn’t about things and check in before trying something new when he’s old enough to. My wife has days where she has the mental energy to try something new, and days where she doesn’t. Additionally if I can describe what it’s like it takes less energy for her to try. And don’t pull the “it’s just like chicken” thing, go more “these fried mushrooms are tender and slimy with a strong umami taste, kind of like soy sauce but not as salty or fermented tasting”


  • It’s also just easy. My lunch every workday is the same. When I ate meat I’d swap out what kind of lunch meat was on the sandwich, but now it’s a peanut butter sandwich with a piece of fruit. My breakfast is often the same on workdays. My variety comes from dinner and weekends. Is it because the idea of doing this is appealing? No, but I never have to worry that I forgot to pack a lunch or that I chose a breakfast I didn’t have time for.

    My wife on the other hand once spent years eating the same thing and considered it a perk of powerlifting, because that woman is autistic af.
