A confession from a compulsive fic addict

foolish_m0rtalSo I've officially taken it too far and slashed part of a Wikipedia article. The page on kissing differentiates romantic and affectionate kissing, with romantic being couples and affectionate being with parents and their offspring or during some grave or moving moment. To further highlight this second point, the article decided to also pop in another image:
With the caption "Two men affectionately kissing." Riiiight.
I laughed far longer than was probably appropriate.
Why was I looking up kissing on Wikipedia in the first place, you might ask? Well, I was looking for anything that described people like me, who are indifferent to kissing in general. So yes, perhaps I was looking for a little sympathy...from Wikipedia (Fumu Pathetic Points++), something that said, "Don't worry, you are normal, normal person!" Instead I found a lot of copy-pasta-ed flowery shit by some poets or artists or something, and the depth and fervour of their convictions led me to believe they'd never really kissed anyone either. Suck it, Kristoffer Nyrop.
Note: You may be tempted to write a slashfic about these two anonymous guys from a random-ass Wiki article. Your friends may judge you, but I will not. Yes, I may publicly disavow you, but I will secretly think you are awesome. Because you, my friend, went above and beyond, and I respect that kind of dedication to the craft.
