Imo "sexuality is fluid" started out good, telling people "it's okay if you want to try something different or you feel attraction to the same sex, you're not a freak" and it morphed into " try shit you don't want to do and have never wanted to do".

Yeah, this is a huge problem. "Sexuality is fluid" is being used as a manipulation tactic to coerce people into doing sexual things they don't actually want.

Yeah. I remember when it used to be "no means no" and enthusiastic consent was encouraged(instead of just putting up with garbage sex, how many times have TRAs suggested that to gays and lesbians) and sex positivity was meant to deal with religious based repression. And now all of the things that were supposed to be positive influences have become twisted and are used to attempt to force others into doing what someone else wants them to do. Like on Twitter a while back I saw a screenshot of a guy saying that a woman was antifeminist for not sending him nudes because that wasn't sex positive and meant she was ashamed of her body.
