This is mostly in reference to the latest virus, I suppose, but it's also something I've noticed a lot on the community in general. Isn't there anyone here who doesn't refer to their significant other as "my love", or some variation of the phrase? Doesn't that seem to be... oh, I don't know, overkill? Not to mention overly flowery and sickeningly sweet.

I know at least some of you must agree with me.

She can defend herself.

And so you're doing it for her... why, exactly?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-02-16 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Because I love her?

Your love for her compels you to take care of her in ways that she doesn't need to be taken care of.

No, my love for her compels me to make sure she's taken care of. I trust her to defend herself, but she's not here to defend herself. So I'll do it for her.

Because my insulting her intelligence is potentially damaging to her, of course.

I don't like hearing you insult her intelligence.

I'm not sensitive.

Yes you are.
