My heart is set on this.
It just makes sense to add this title, along with "Achillean," because "Sapphic" is already in the game. "We don't need gay label titles" just... isn't relevant anymore

The "Sapphic" title exists. It describes a female who's into females. I like it. It was a kind thing to add to the game~
The "Achillean" title should exist. It describes a male who's into males. I like it. It'd be a kind thing to add to the game~

"Diamoric" is a similar term to those two. It "describe[s] relationships that are neither gay nor straight because of the involvement of at least one nonbinary person [ for example, an NB person + a man in a relationship wouldn't fit as either because their genders are neither "opposite" nor "the same"]. It can also be used for nonbinary individuals who are neither gay nor straight and want to highlight this, or their prioritization of relationships with nonbinary people." (Source)
In case you are confused or unaware about what a nonbinary person is, please click here before asking about it.
How would it be unlocked? I was thinking that doing either of the criteria for unlocking "Sapphic" and "Achillean" would unlock it; whichever you do first unlocks it! I value input about how to unlock it, because I'm not sure about this one! Click to see some other thoughts I had, and feel free to comment on them.

Further clarification about the all of the terms here!

"Diamoric" -- or a related term* -- can be implemented as a title that one can adopt, alongside Sapphic and (hopefully) Achillean!
It'd be a kind thing to add to the game~


If you don't support for reasons other than the ones I already countered in the post below, lemme know! I want to work to make this suggestion optimal~

*Alternatives to Diamoric: Cypric, Adonian/Adonic, Enbian. The last one is the only one that doesn't have a Greek theme to it




This suggestion has 462 supports and 120 NO supports.

Have a hard time reading through responses so idk if this was mentioned, but Enbian and Diamoric are totally different things.
Enbian is someone who is nonbinary and loves nonbinary people (aka, nblnb) and Diamoric is a term for someone or a relationship that can not be defined as straight or gay due to the involvement of at least one nonbinary person.
But I personally would love both Diamoric and Enbian titles :3

okay, since i see this thread coming up bi-weekly i'm just going to put in my two cents as someone who falls under said labels.

i am an agender trans man, who is attracted to other men. however, i am going to no support, and explain why.

first off, the term achillean. achilles is NOT a good representation of the MLM community. achilles was a p*dophile and owned slaves for sexual purposes. the term itself was coined @ tumblr in 2016 to counter the term sapphic.
i am in no position to speak for lesbians and wlw/nblw, however, a big chunk of their community has often portrayed negative emotions towards the term achillean, for the above reasons and for the fact it was only made to counter the term sapphic, which yes, does have a history!

i have no input on the term diamoric, although i have to say that a lot of people dislike said term, since most nonbinary people who are either in love with a fellow nonbinary person, or someone who's gender DOES fit in the gender binary, refer to themselves as either lesbian or gay. the term "enbian" is usually used by terfs who believe that nonbinary people are incapable of being lesbian or gay, while the majority of those communities actually exists of nonbinary lesbians/gays.

hey! i was the one who made the achillean title suggestion way back when! ...yeah no please don't add that in as a title... i made that thread in 2018 when i was younger, dumb, and didn't understand the history behind it, nor who achilles even was other than "oh he famously had a male lover". everything rival said perfectly sums up why it's not a good idea to add that term as a title. i'm aware that the OP of this thread isn't even playing anymore (the link to their profile is a dead link) but i really, really want to emphasize that "achillean" should not be added as an official title.

Wasn't aware of the history attached to 'Achillean'. Thank you for the info. Deffo agree on not adding that.

https://achilleaninfo.carrd.co/ The last three comments are misinformed, and the term has been around since the 50s, it wasnt made to "copy sapphic".
