Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am rewatching S1 of Community and then going back and watching the commentary. I should be out buying fizz or tidying before the cable guy gets here. My living room is a wreck.

I'm so sorry to come back to Natter and find that Sass is still lost. Crossing my fingers as hard as I can!

Vanilla privilege. Part of it I get, part of it is judgy and assumptive itself.
Oh, lord. I understand, really I do. People want to get their freak on and not have it be problematic. But seriously? This is a world where a woman who has "vanilla" missionary-position, woman-on-the-bottom sex with the lights off will still be slut-shamed. So I'm not really on the "no one understands the perverts' pain!" bandwagon. It's just...there doesn't seem to be anything simple about sexuality.
■Vanilla is not used as a pejorative.
This half way down the list made me laugh out loud.
Right? I kind of want to e-mail her the definition of "irony."
A vanilla person can assume their sexual partner will have approximately the same sexual desires they will
That's just willful ignorance.
A vanilla person will not have their sexual orientation called into question due to their sexual practices.
I assume she's never, EVER, met a straight man who likes being on the bottom for anal sex.
A vanilla person does not have to worry about outsiders perceiving their relationship as abusive or pathological.
Wait, seriously? Is she being deliberately obtuse, or is she just stupid?
A vanilla person will not fear their sexual practices counting against them in a divorce.
See above, re: slut-shaming and re: deliberately obtuse/stupid.

I'm sure she doesn't count straight men and anal sex as vanilla, especially if he's on the receiving end.
eta: I read more of her tumblr, and she seems to be a smug lesbian submissive who's a professional top, so I figure she figure she's untouchable when she talks about sex.

Because books.
The question is how do you define vanilla? Is this some 1950s idea of under-the-covers, nightgown-pulled-up, lights-off missionary (and of course heterosexual) sex only? Where does the line get drawn?

I think she must be defining it *very* narrowly.

I'm sure it's sex where nothing cool happens.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't think of anything anal being particularly "vanilla".
