softness, fluidity, and simulated intimacy

In talking about softness, this writing tries to abandon hard logic and reasoning while adopting a more rhizomatic way of thinking, mutating and expanding into different topics. Slime is used morphologically and then metaphorically to convey the idea of softness. While softness is contemporarily often celebrated as a gentle way of dealing and reacting, my stance is more of a neutral one. Throughout the writing, I try to examine what softness is, and acknowledge that the link between softness and intimacy gives room for manipulative persuasion.
