Be careful of Asexuals y'all, I heard they aren't fucking around

#Pleaseeeeee tell me this joke doesn't exist since before #asexual

Aphobia is actually so wild though. I’m literally just chilling. Just going about my silly little life. And billions of people decide that my existence challenges their worldview and they’re not okay with that. That’s so funny. We have too much power.

#like fr what are aphobes on #I’m one minor annoyance away from deciding lettuce doesn’t exist #not that I have any beef with lettuce #it’s a lovely vegetable imo #it just challenges my worldview yk #aro #aromantic #aromanticism #ace #asexual #asexuality #aroace #queer #lgbtqia #aspec #arospec #acespec #amatonormativity #the menace is yapping

things that allos do that make aspecs accuse them of being aphobic:

mocking their labels and vocab

invalidating their existence

trivializing their experience

excluding them from the queer community

comparing them to paedophiles and MAP groups

comparing them to their oppressors

things that aspecs do that make allos accuse them of being homophobic/queerphobic:

existing

talking about their personal experience and headcanons

expressing their wish to be included in the queer community

#aphobia #aromantic #actually aromantic #asexual #actually asexual #the number of people accusing us of being queerphobic is wild lmfao #we r literally just existing #aspec communities r literally the most inclusive and anti-terf groups in the community. tbh idk wtf r yall even going at.

Some of you people need to stop acting so shitty over aspec stereotypes because it's starting to get to a point that you are just shitting on the people who experiences match the stereotypes and it's hurting a lot more aspects than it's helping.

"how can he be ace when he acts like that 🤣😂" Im so sorry to be the first person to tell you this but... Asexual people. can have personalities.

#:v #hazbin hotel #alastor #this is possibly the most acephobic fandom I've seen in a minute #''its just jokes!!!1!1" Not funny ones 😭😭 #in what world is it funny to imply being flamboyant strips you of your asexuality. #like it's weird guys the jokes are weird #alastor my aroace king 🙏🙏 #''hes not aroace!1!1!1!'' in ur mind maybe but I'm operating on a higher plane of existence #''we need more aroace characters!'' you guys can't even handle the demonic murder! 🙄

our teacher told us to write an essay about any topic we'd like

sir, prepare to read paragraphs upon paragraphs about asexuality and aromanticism and how platonic relationships are just as good as everything else and not everyone has to have romance and sex in their lives to be fulfilled

#i'd say i pulled an all nighter for this but i passed out somewhere around 1am and now im cramming everything 2hours before school #but still #this is for the grades #and for the world to know that we exist and we're valid #asexual #asexuality #aromantic #aroace #aspec #aroace pride #asexuals are valid

[viviennevermillion]

Seeing people only use "but some asexuals have sex!!!" and "some aromantics are in romantic relationships!!!" so they can sexualize & ship the little representation we get makes me hope someone explicitly establishes a popular character as sex-repulsed so we can see the shippers get cooked online for it

#i'm not even complaining if someone specifically writes an asexual character as a sex-favorable ace #or puts the aros in qprs or writes a romantic relationship exploring how a character who doesn't experience romantic attraction navigates i #but if all you do is discard their asexuality & use the existence of sex-favorable and romance-favorable aces as a gotcha #to hide the fact that you're just portraying this character as allo anyway #we all know what you're doing #asexual #asexuality #aromantic #aro #ace #aroace #sex repulsed

...Maybe queerbaiting can only ever mean homobaiting or transspecbaiting

Idk don't kill me those are just cans of worms

#no one can know i don't like sex #queerbaiting #asexual #aromantic #aroace #not 100% a hot take but i doubt aro ace bait actually exists tbh #because i don't think writers and audiences care about aro or ace people enough to even think of writing them as bait #it's in THAT sad a state #my art #nonburger

[shmaroace]

sex as part of pride and asexuality as part of pride can coexist. the inclusion of one does not have to mean the exclusion of the other

#tw: sex mention #both are crucial to the history of the community and are important parts of queer identity to most people. #they are not inherently opposite to each other and both can exist comfortably within their own spaces #i'm sex-positive but not sex-favorable do you understand. okay #ace #asexual #acespec #aroace #aspec #pride 2023 #1k

When I am skeptical of a woman/girl labeling herself as asexual, I'm doing it from a feminist perspective.

How many times have we read of women saying some brainwashed bullshit along the lines of "Orgasming during sex isn't important to me, the special part is feeling close to my partner!" Or the whole conservative woman thing about "wifely duties" where sex is seen as maintenance of the relationship instead of something you enjoy together.

Women are taught by society that our pleasure and autonomy isn't a part of the bigger picture. The increased usage of the asexual label is an attempt to cope with that flawed sentiment instead of fighting it, in addition to women just plain not being attracted to people who don't enhance their lives.

Many of the women who call themselves asexual actually mean celibate (or wish they could be celibate), but that word carries baggage that they understandably don't want. If we want the word "asexual" to have meaning, it's important to focus on telling women that their pleasure DOES matter and it's okay to have standards that no one is meeting.

#asexual #celibate #feminism #i didn't say asexuality doesnt exist omg

[aroacewxs]

im not romance or sex repulsed, im romance and sex curious. romance and sex inquisitive. im a little scientist jotting down notes and connecting dots to dots in my head, trying to figure out this little puzzle that is attraction and romantic/sexual gestures because one of the worst things to me personally is feeling confused

#jay does a think #aromantic #asexual #actually aromantic #actually asexual #aroace #aspec #acespec #arospec #i go through ups and downs where i am just so fascinated by it all #or i think it's the grossest most unnecessary thing to ever exist #but altogether i feel like a spectator in any scenario i try to picture myself in #researching about it not to conform but to learn lol please don't get the wrong idea #anthropology is fascinating

i love making them gay but i also love making them just... exist

#aromantic #asexual #aroace #me interacting with any fandom content (i am on the aroace spectrum) #but fr this is the two sides of my brain anytime a ship exists #where are my people #fafiya #wrightworth #franmaya #im projecting #for context i am on the aroace spectrum

Realest thing I’ve ever seen 😐

[redysetdare]

When a gay character is turned straight it's callout for the erasure it is

When an aspec character is turned into any other sexuality then we're over reacting and "x character didn't have a set canon sexuality so they can change it all they like"

#text #aro #ace #aromantic #asexual #aroace #aspec #its so frustrating to see other queer ppl throw aro and ace characters under the bus #its even worse when people pull the 'actually UR aphobic because FAVORABLE PPL EXIST' #like fuck you i hate you dont use part of the aspec community as a shield for ur aphobia

[aromantic-diaries]

My favorite argument against literally anything like "it's not natural" or something along those lines is simply I Don't Care

#aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #acespec #lgbtq+ #lgbtq #queer #< additional tags bc while i'm talking about being aro and ace this pretty much goes for literally every queer identity under the sun #not even joking. let's say hypothetically being trans is unnatural and wrong. i actually don't care i think it's awesome #i don't consider myself the rebellious type but i also go against several societal norms just by existing so fuck it. anarchy it is then #i cannot stress this enough. i don't care if it's wRoNg. i can live with that. you can't even imagine how willing i am to live with that
