Y'know those hug consent badges?

They should make them for "does [not] know how to flirt" and "can [not] recognize flirting"

I'm bad at both sides of that, I think.

But one time I and a friend were showing off our fursuit fans and I whispered, "heh, we're literally bllowing each other in front of everyone" and he replied "huff" and we hooked up that night so idk

"Flirting? You mean Oblivious Transfer??!" - cryotographers, maybe
@soatok what if I encrypt my room number with a polynomially attackable cipher 🥺👉👈
@soatok zero knowledge friends
@soatok maybe you're not as bad as you think lol
@soatok I have more than once considered making these, heh
@soatok and the really stupid thing? watching others, I can identify and map all this stuff dead easy. when I’m involved in it? uuhhhhh brain segfault
@soatok how about a "does not know when it is the right moment to flirt but just needs a nod to get going"?
@Huubje "You gotta use your head first" but tie it into an oral sex joke somehow?
@soatok great! Now if someone could explain how this whole flirting thing works I could do better than "I like you, fancy a shag?".
@soatok Great idea actually. I think I'd definitely need the latter.
@soatok I need this (and a "not interested in flirting" one probably as well)
@soatok I should add these to my secondary conbadge lol.
@soatok I've seen a shirt at some point saying: If you are flirting with me, you must slide me a note "I'm flirting with you"
@soatok I’d need a “doesn’t know how to flirt” and “probably won’t recognize” badge 
@pospi
I need that 🙈
@soatok
@pospi
Sadly: button 5 bucks. Shipping 12 bucks 🙈 nope.
@soatok
@pospi @soatok I've never bought anything so fast
@pospi @soatok this would have made things a lot easier 20 years ago... Instead I had one which said "Surrounded by Idiots" 😅
@pospi @soatok The first time I saw this I was like „Omg I need this“
@pospi @soatok @recursive Oh god it me. (Actually once had a gf finally look at me when I was oblivious and say “I’m trying to go fuck your brains out!” Me: “… OH!”)
@pospi @soatok this is solely for adults of sufficient age because it needs reflection that one is bad at flirting. At least it took me a long time 😭
@soatok @pospi a friend once had to point out, a couple of years after a missed opportunity, that the lass hanging from my shoulders, pulling me to a bed, sitting in my lap, and sprawling over me all weekend as really I to me! XD
@soatok "does not recognize flirting but apparently does it sometimes without knowing?!"
@soatok
I've been trying to talk the folks who run the Black Hole Recreational Outpost at Further Confusion into putting up a "Interaction Level: KLINGON" sign...
@soatok I need, "you'll probably think I'm flirting with you, but I won't realize that the clever thing I said sounds like flirting, but let's roll with it."
@soatok I think I need those stickers.
@soatok They should make a pin that says "This creature ↑ (me) will NOT understand subtle OR obvious flirting. However she IS interested in physical affection and even the sexual stuff."
@soatok I need a version that just says CAN AND WILL KILL
@soatok Alternative: the rod of cobalt-60 print that says "5 minutes to death DROP AND RUN"
@soatok They have had these at my local nerd convention!
@soatok
They need to sell reversible bucket hats that say on the front "not flirting, just autistic" and "flirting, but autistic" so you can flag appropriately.
