Vision
We& Don't Talk About That envisions a world where the unspoken complexities of plural existence are brought into the light. We aim to foster open, respectful, and brave dialogues about the taboos, stigmas, and controversies within the plural community that are often brushed aside, misunderstood, or shunned.
Offer
- Community Panelist Discussions: Featuring diverse plural voices, we dive deep into taboo topics, fostering authentic conversation through real-life experiences and differing viewpoints.
- Controversial Topics: We lean into the uncomfortable and contentious areas that often cause rifts within the plural community, creating space for productive dialogue.
- Resource Sharing & Education: We provide insights, recommended readings, and resources for further exploration.
- Guest Experts & Cross-Community Conversations: Featuring voices from both within and outside the plural community to gain nuanced perspectives.
Values
- Privacy & Anonymity: We prioritize the safety and comfort of our panelists and community. We fully support the use of aliases, voice modulation, and virtual avatars (like VTubers or PNGTubers) for those who wish to maintain their privacy while participating. Our aim is to create a space where people can speak openly without fear of being outed or exposed beyond their comfort level.
- Radical Inclusivity: All plural identities, perspectives, and experiences are valid and deserving of space and consideration.
- Respectful Engagement: We embrace difficult conversations with compassion, empathy, and curiosity, recognizing the humanity behind each perspective.
- Truth-Seeking: Our goal is not to enforce a single narrative but to explore the messy and multifaceted realities of taboo subjects.
- Courageous Dialogue: We believe in leaning into discomfort as a catalyst for growth, connection, and understanding.
