@@thatrandom_canadian yea I know that. I have consumed pokepron content that are of pokemon that are kinda quadrupedal. But to actually go down on one as is, my criteria is if they stayed in my home, if I felt ok putting food on the floor for them and have them sleep in a dog/cat bed, then its a pass (so the eeveelutions are excluded). With a character like cinderence, I would eat at the table with them and have them sleep in a human bed, so effectively treating them identically to a human, so is a eligible smash. I think most would wuss out with MOST of dans choices. 😂

[@leonniyawski3929]

@@hamstermc7807 no, im cool with homosexuals, asexuals, whateversexuals. I talk with them, respect them, and treat them like any other human being, regardless of race, gender, nationality, etc. I treat you by the way you treat me, by what person you are and how you behave. But I hate people that are not heterosexuals and have to hammer that point at every single fucking opportunity they have all the time, and make their whole existence revolve around their sexuality, which happens to be the majority by my my friends experiences. Many LGBT members are full of themselves and act as if people's attention over their sexualities should prioritize any other things Especially when they Segway the conversation into THEIR sexuality and THEIR experiences and use the sentence "you know, as a whateversexual I find it to be..." How does your opinion on let's say the current geopolitical tension between Israel and Palestine gain any importance or validity based on your sexuality? As if you being gay makes you suddenly more knowledgeable of the topic. And worst of all, the LGBT community is supported by and many are members of antifa, the most terroristic, violent hypocrites to ever exist.

I feel like Arin's *almost* bisexual, but not quite. I say this because he's said repeatedly that he doesn't get turned on by penises, but he clearly finds men otherwise attractive. So, more like biromantic heterosexual.

@@RabblesTheBinx mmhmm. Could be. I think plenty of straight men can also just find certain men handsome or attractive (i.e. I've always thought Brad Pitt and Tom Hardy are attractive, but would I bang them or let them bang me? No, really never), but yeah never be maybe into them like sex wise, or if they are not the main thing they like about them.
