Again, I've only seen the Halsin romance via youtube and I don't really have a problem with it. It is the best representation of ENM relationships possible? Obviously not. Does he seem unlike any poly people I've met. NO. I've dated someone attitudes very much like Halsin minus the nature references . . .

Now I understand why some people see him as sex pest and that should be removed. Do I want the SH flirting removed? No.

BUT what I want more than that is for people like @Icelyn to be happy. My read on the EA Halsin thirst was that people were looking for someone with more of a 'daddy' feel and less of a nature boy feel.

What doesn't help that cause is using words like 'deviancy' and 'degeneracy'. My friendly recommendation is for advocates to avoid using them for both practical and for ethical reasons. Practically if makes you less effective advocate, ethically some us who are actually poly feel like you are calling them deviants.

Best to avoid smile
