    Well, yeah, but that’s the point. It’s “I’m not into that”, as opposed to “I wouldn’t date X type of people”. The point is you can not be into things without it being a political statement. Even if your political line of choice tends to favor a particular aesthetic.

      You lost me there. Aesthetic? Maybe a statement of preference in a certain context like a public forum on an unrelated subject, yes, can be a political statement, but the preference itself is completely apolitical in nature, IMO. This isn’t art, it’s just a matter of whether you’re into something or not sexually, which is usually something that comes before a political viewpoint, or any conscious thought for that matter.
