minus-squaresplinter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoThere is no poly shaming going on here. The article makes clear that: Kennedy was not poly with his ex wife. He just repeatedly cheated on her. He invoked the term to try and justify his behavior. And he is the only person here who made any moral judgement about it - he called it “wrong”.

Polyamory != polygamous
