Ok as a lesbian I just want to say that this is not a Lollapalooza specific thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
i know! It's so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let's list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!
Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.
Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.
Dame here. It kind of sucks and isn't worth going to more than a couple of times unless you have a giant wad of cash burning a hole in your wallet. They have permanent buildings and all of the acts and shops are the same every year.
Ah yes. Her Excellency, Dame lyrial.
I am leaving this fortunate typo :p
Damn right! And don’t you forget it!
I used to go to one of those. It has a lot going for it in terms of live acts, but basically it's always the same. I stopped once I realized I was paying for the privilege of attending a Medieval Times themed shopping mall.
Scarborough?
Nah, it's the GA state ren faire.
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme.
They might be thinking more Society of Creative Anachronism [SCA], don't know what those guys are up to these days though.
Well typically it's a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you're in the scene you'll find out...
Did you just assume my gender? cause... what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?
Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.
Is it lesbian mud wrestling or is it sparkling same-sex sexy grappling? Trying to figure out if WWE is gay platform wrestling by the same definitions
I know a lot of gay pro wrestling fans.
In sumo, Ichiyamamoto literally has a life sized poster of Wakatakakage in his bedroom (they're the same age).
Wait are you saying lesbians as a whole will just see a pile of mud and have a intrinsic urge to wrassle?
I prefer being beaten with a stick by a beautiful girl, personally, but yes, many lesbian flirtation displays involve relatively stupid relatively low stakes violence.
Just like many straight courtship displays.
Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down
I mean kinda yeah at least enough of us do
It's like beavers when they hear running water and start collecting wood for a dam.
It seems like a normal Lollapalooza thing tbh, I had no idea it wasn't!
