Hey guys! 😁😍 I’m new to the gruwup 😯🤣 can I get a thread of everyone’s stunning and brave coming-out stories?? 🎉🎉 I’ll go first:

I’ve had a chronic hentai addiction for years. I always thought my absolute dependence on 2D women was precipitated in part by mental illness, low self-esteem and social alienation. For years I was shamed by exclu anti-uwus into thinking these things were bad and that I should seek professional help (i.e conversion therapy). Bad times 😪😭

All of this changed though, when someone on one of the cishet-volcel-waifu-seeker forums I admin mentioned that I might be aegosexual?? 😯 🤯 Needless to say I was intrigued. A few minutes of research later and I was 100% sure of who I was: a hetero-aegosexual demi-romantic aplatonic manboy 😎😊 BASICALLY this means that I’m only sexually attracted to hentai girls (not boys EW I’m NOT gay) can only be romantically attracted to them once I get to know them (through VR or with a body pillow) and I have no friends.

Needless to say my parents were not thrilled when I told them all of this. I thought coming out was meant to be a big fun party (at least that’s how the gays always made it look??). But all I got was my family telling me that I need to “wise the fuck up son”, “find some friends” (so platonormative smh) and “stop living in the basement”. It was so fucking invalidating and now I know what a hate crime is. The erasure hurts 😒😤

Thankfully I found the one community that has always welcomed cishet, hentai-addicted anti-social fail-sons with open arms: the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈🌈

I haven’t left the basement yet and I’m never talking to my parents ever again, but now I know I’ll be welcome at kweer events, and that people there will have to listen to me (especially those grossly privileged allosexual Ls, Gs, and Ts) ✊️ To be clear I am NOT gay (ew) but I’m so thankful the online kweer community was there to help me decide who I am, without ever having to engage with the (let’s face it) suspiciously exclusionary and possibly TERFy activities of introspection, socialising and self-improvement 🚫❌

Anyway, that’s my kweer coming out story! 🎉💕 What’s yours?
