Kids on Spacehey

parents and schools don't really teach internet safety and common sense to children nowadays (to be fair neither did mine but they did discipline me and teach me why some things are bad whenever they would find out what I was doing online) and kids don't understand that they need to (politely) shut the fuck up sometimes, especially those that claim they're "hypersexual" or whatever. like nobody's supposed to know that, why are you putting a target on your back. what the fuck. I 100% agree with you and I'd rather find out that a child is into a fandom that I absolutely despise than I would like to find out what their current sexuality is, not to mention that shit is prone to changing as people grow older and (in some cases) mature and gain life experience so putting it out there seems super pointless to me too since it can literally change whenever :/

I’ve noticed two things. One is that everyone(*there are very very few exceptions as always), from gen z and up first tells us about their sexuality, pronouns, and only then says their name. Yes, good for them! Enjoy life. But then I get hated for being cishet, despite I have full support for everyone who comes with good intentions. Het. or lgbt, I don’t make any difference. The second is that there is ONLY hate everywhere. Someone has a different opinion? Threats. Someone likes that and not this? Threats. Someone doesn’t hate on something that everyone hates on? Threats! Someone makes an art that others dislike? Threats! People, total strangers, are threatening each other and making up sh** about people on the other end of the planet, to ruin their lives, get them fired (I witnessed, not once!) under the disguise of “exposing them for being horrible people” ….. the internet is disgusting. I mean, the people on it. And outside irl isn’t better either. Where on earth am I supposed to escape?!

I feel like sexuality doesn't only HAVE to be sexual, even tho it's in the name, it can also be romantic, although I do know kids shouldn't be dating. what I WILL say though, is that it's not exclusive to real life, that can also regard what characters they're attracted to, and there's nothing wrong with finding a character hot. Same with crushes, as long as they don't date whoever they have a crush on. And I'll also say that kids SHOULD wait until they're older to date, but I still think they can be who they wanna be without dating, because you're still valid even if you don't date. And I do show my sexuality on my profile, but that doesn't mean I make it my ENTIRE personality, or date. I don't even wanna date anyway (this is coming from a teen uhh-), but I do have crushes. I have likes, interests, preferences, and habits, just like any person! Sorry if this sounds weird or dumb or confusing or anything like that ;-; just sharing my retrospect/view on this typa stuff, bye bye!!

i get you, im queer and like sure i was queer at a young age too but why is it such a huge thing to talk about nowadays? like be queer and proud yes, but why hypersexual? why always on about the gender you wanna have [ykw] with, you're a child. it's okay to be queer as a child, you can put that in your bio, you can say you're attracted to the same gender, it's fine. but there's a point where it's like, you can be proud but is that it? is that all there is to you? as a kid you're still finding yourself, queer is here to stay but that doesn't mean the only thing about you should be that you're queer. you can be proud and defend the community and be open without being hypersexual or without that being your sole personality. being a kid is the best time you have to develop hobbies, other interests, that can define yourself and it's the time to have fun discover new things etc, why are children nowadays not taking that chance? id do anything to be a child again and actually develop hobbies instead of making one thing my personality and missing out on so much, just because of it.

i feel like theres nothing inherently wrong with kids mentioning or displaying that theyre queer (happy pride month btw) on their profiles bc queerness isn't inherently sexual, but there is a big issue with kids not practicing proper internet safety and posting information that can be weaponized against them. i think the main reason people are having issue with your take is bc the manner in which you've written it makes it sound like you believe that queer identity is ONLY tied to whatever ppl get up to in bed, which is sorta adjacent to homophobic ppl saying "well, i dont mind gay ppl so long as it's behind closed doors" or "i dont see why they have to shove it in everyones face", yknow?

you're making it sound like you're shaming kids for being queer dude. i had crushes on girls in elementary. had i given said crushes a name, would that have been disgusting? were they any different from my crushes on boys? i get the sexualizing themselves part, but then again, don't shame them, instead warn them, educate them

What did seven said to nine? EIGHT (ATE) 🗣🗣
But seriously, I totally agree with what you're saying. I'm not the best person to comment on this because I just turned 16, but even I see ur point. Yes, kids can discover their sexuality at any age, but there's no need to make their WHOLE profile about that! I don't even know how they get to know about SpaceHey when the internet today is full of brainrot, it's cool that they get to know about myspace and spacehey but...idk

I agree with you on what you said. But some people just have to mention their sexuality to look for the right people who are familiar to them. Sometimes though that can be overdone and it becomes the main priority over talking about genuine things such as hobbies and interests especially when a lot of their posts is about people they are with too.

But there is a limit to this where you start to fear that something might happen to these people because of the dedicated mention of their "preferences in bed" and that it can be quite distasteful too to look at as they are kids who are saying that on a public site. Its not about the kids on here in general, its more just the people that show off it too much that it becomes concerning and that they just appear off as clones at that point or they'll attract the wrong people and get into situations. I have no problem with people who have different sexualities if anyone is bisexual or homosexual for example then more power to them, hell even hypersexual, some people can't help being that way and it is sad. At the end of the day all you can do is just let them do what they want. But it is okay to be concerned and mention it. We can't really blame these kids but those who influence them, if people priortise more about talking about safety online then they can still find those familiar yet also be safe and not appear as the so mentioned clones. I get where you coming from though and the main thing is looking for genuine people at the end of the day who can talk about their life, not just what they do in bed with others and nothing else.

I understand where you are coming from. I see this more than just here. It does make me uncomfortable because I fear their safety. I also see people share their first and last name on their bios too. When someone uses that against them they then complain they were "Doxxed" when someone calls them out and uses that just because it's in their bio. It makes no sense to me. If one doesn't want that then please don't put personal information on your bio. I could care less about age and interests but it's real names and stuff like this that scare me a little due to creepers and bullies.

If you're talking abt the fact that some kids openly say what gender would they go to bed with, then YOU'RE 100% RIGHT. But if you mean that they alr know their sexuality then i have something to say. You can find your sexuality at any age, it can develop over the time so you can't be 100% sure. I'll use my experience as an example. When i was a kid, i never wanted a boyfriend, in 5th grade i got with a girl and i thought i was bisexual, then 1 year later, i thought i was pansexual, the year after bisexual and for 2 years i thought i was 100% bisexual. Over the time i found out that i only found them attractive and i wasn't attracted to them. I'm still a "kid" (14) and now i'm comfortable to say that i'm a lesbian. But who knows, maybe over the time i'll found out that i was wrong!

Usually, children add, for example, their sexuality because they want to meet someone similar to them. It is so embedded in psychology that people usually want to be friends with those they are similar to. Well or they see that everyone is writing and the herd effect is wake up. And children are not as stupid as you think. If a child likes their own gender, then it is obvious that they Queer. So I don't think it's that bad as long as it's below normal

it’s something a lot queer neurodivergent kids put because people tend to befriend people who are like them, it’s what a lot people do befriend people who look/act like them, i’ve seen people put in their DNI if you’re a neurotypical cishet because that’s like the opposite of them. im sure though majority of them mean it more in a romantic attraction way there are few odd ones who list as their you know what preference. those ones are uncomfortable to read their profile like you’re 13 bro!!!! when i was younger i tried finding my sexuality but i didn’t fit in any box so i didn’t really put in my bio or tell anyone to be honest then again im not really offended what others think so i guess that’s why. i’ve never got the too young to know who you’re attracted too though like my first proper crush was at 10 i didn’t know it was a crush but then again as a kid who loved movies i wanted to do that stereotypical stuff like go to the cinema and have a picnic with that person, i literally would want to throw up and was nervous around that person, my face would go red and i would stutter a lot. i mean i literally had a crush on elsa when i was like 8 so i think that was pretty obvious i mean i was a bit of a homophobic kid because of the media—i refused to believe i was attracted to anyone because boys are “ew” and im normal so i don’t like girls. this was around the same time i liked that person and was in a very very bad headspace but i still knew what was feeling. kids aren’t stupid, they can make their own choices, if younger me knew i liked my hyperfixations then i knew who i liked. i get where they’re coming from but i also get what you’re saying. i don’t think it’s a non issue just don’t interact with those kids (i don’t know if that came off mean?? if so sorry i kinda can be a bit blunt but im not trying to be rude)

i highly agree with this as someone who literally still counts as a kid (im 13), i am hypersexual and that isnt something im proud of, its not disgusting okay but telling it to everyone is seriously disgusting like no girl youre not hypwrsexual because you get horny when you see your favorite fictional character. it literally counts a mental illnes and making it your whole personality and deciding youre hypersexual without seeing a psychiatrist is so disgustinf and I CANT TAKE IT like i see a cool pwrson my age im like wow i should become friends with them theyre so cool! i then look at their profile and its "13!! i need a nerd bf!! hypersexual-bisexual!!!!" EXCUSE ME? GIRL I DIDNT ASK IF YOU WANNA DATE ME OR SOMETHING WHY ARE YOU SHARINF EVERY LITTLE PERSONAL THING ONLINE LIKE THAT

Yeah I 100% agree with this. As somone who relates to the term hypersexuality as it is, a LITERAL MENTAL ILLNESS (idk if you take offense to this, mental illness is not a bad word) these literal children are out here putting "OH im hypersexual" in big bold letters on their bio and it's basically waving a huge flag that says "hey, I'm vulnerable, groom me!!"

Just try to keep in mind that a lot of Spacehey's user base comes from TikTok so it's a lot of younger kids grasping for nostalgia that they don't really understand. They're also likely with unrestricted internet access and without proper attention from their guardians. I truly understand how frustrating it is on here, but there's not much that can be helped and it's not necessarily the kids' fault since they don't know better. Just try to block any whenever you see 'em and mostly subscribe to blogs from adults rather than looking at the general blog section. I've also noticed a lot of them use bulletins like tweets, so sometimes avoiding them and/or being mindful of who you friend to avoid that section being spammed helps a lot.
