Danidraws again! Ace and Aro - phobia detected!
TW: Ace and Aro phobia, Arophobia, Acephobia!
Dani made fun of a AroAce Alastor fan for drawing him for AroAce PSA posts:
Tumblr media
Person killing fun and comfort of other people, cause... IDK... you are just an asshole, I guess?
Tumblr media
Why so mean about a AroAce doing a PSA for people in the fandom who have, time and time again, not known this same things. -And discriminate and attack people cause of not knowing shit.
Tumblr media
This sounds like such a "UM! ERMM! Canonically, this character wouldn't b-" shut up. Let Aroace people have their conform and care to explain things to people! You are mean for no reason
Also, the fact of Alastor possible not knowing about Asexuality out of pure guess isn't correct. #1 People can fully use his character for pride month art and AroAce PSA stuff! #2 Asexuality as a term has existed since late 1800 and related stuff to rights of people of different sexualities. In the 1900 Schlegel was quoted: “Let the same laws for all the intermediate stages of sexual life: the homosexuals, heterosexuals, bisexuals, asexuals, be legal as they are now in existence for the heterosexuals” search it up. #3 what's stopping him from learning it, or making fan comics of him doing so?
Sorry, all your knowledge of previous queer awareness comes from the 1980s to 1990s only.
There are many stories of people (FROM AGES AGO) that fall into being Trans! That the term didn't exist all those years ago-it doesn't delete anything from that, or that people can see themselves in them and do PSAs with them in it!
He could've known or not.
(Dani, and anyone, would totally do something with characters they identify with in their own ways too, like this shit is so dumb to complain about as if no one did similar stuff!)
Literally a hypocrite:
Tumblr media
Being mean to people about stuff!

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive old tumblr for the shit it did to the asexual movement.
The fact some people just moved on from that by deleting posts, accounts, side blogs but never apologising or doing anything to mend the harm they caused speaks volumes.
Some people are still active to this day, some who actively posted against asexual people, who made hate blogs for them, who liked and reblogged every single post under the tags, who only ever liked 3 posts but still supported them.
There’s no apologies on the internet; no fully true ones especially not on public socials like tumblr, TikTok, twitter and instagram (I’ll give leeway to platforms like discord as it’s a more inclosed community). So while I wouldn’t have accepted the apology it would have been nice to fucking receive one

im writing this while im shaking and crying so i don't know if something i say will be misspelled but i feel the need to tell everyone who went thru so much shit just for being asexual, i feel you. I feel you so much and it hurts as hell, i still do therapy to heal myself for so many things i went thru when i was so young and had no idea that "there was nothing wrong with me. I could have said no. But it's not my fault i didn't said no. It was not my fault for being manipulated to do stuff i didn't wanted and that just made me uncomfortable and disgusted. It was not my fault and there is nothing wrong with me." For everyone who's aspec, aro, ace, aroace you guys are amazing, you are valid, you exist and your existence is enough there is nothing wrong with you and you are not alone. I felt alone and i still feel alone for being aroace to this day, im still figuring things out but i know im not alone. I know that. Not only that but also there was a lot of xenophobia and racism happening towards us, brasilians. This is awful, makes me feel sick and heartbroken. But im also proud to be who i am, im proud to be brasileira im proud to be aroace. Your hateful comments makes you a sad existence, it's terrifying to know that people can say so much shit without a single feeling of empathy. To everyone who felt hurt, who had to deal with anxiety, everyone who also had a hard time seeing so much hate, to you who still in pain, im so so sorry, im so sorry this is happening but we are in this together, you are not alone. Don't be afraid to be yourself, be proud of your nationality be proud of your roots and don't be afraid to bloom be who you are, be proud of your sexuality be proud of your identity be proud of your existence. Im so happy you are alive. A lot of hugs and love, we need it.
Be kind. (to yourself too)
E pra todo mundo que tá lidando com essa situação difícil, não podemos deixar que tirem nosso orgulho do Brasil, eu sou brasileira e sou extremamente feliz por tudo que as minhas raízes, a minha nacionalidade me faz ser. E também pras pessoas assexuais, por favor se cuidem essa situação agora pode dar muitos gatilhos gente pfv se cuidem, bebam água, respirem fundo, vc não tá só! Estamos todos juntos, um grande abraço do fundo do meu coração, vai ficar tudo bem ok? Tamo junto ❤️‍🩹

***TW ACEPHOBIA*** TW HOMOPHOBIA *** TW TRANSPHOBIA***
For all the people that always try to debate Yasmin on Twitter, saying: "Why do aces need rights? No one is attacking you, no one cares that you're asexual"
Well, this is just a fraction of the hate we received on Facebook after publicizing our Tr(ace)y project last May:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
People seem to care a lot!
Until we can post freely and unapologetically about being ace and get a much bigger ratio of support than hate, we will always keep doing the work. If this is what our project received, I can't even imagine what Yasmin gets in a day. Shoutout to the most badass ace queen ever. Always reminding us to block out the haters!
Promoting education, understanding & compassion always! 💜

Shoutouts to anyone else who learned about asexuality in the first place from Tumblr in the early 2010s and had to navigate realizing they were ace at the height of the website being at its absolute most awful discourse on the topic. We had to do that and HOO BOY we wouldn't wish that on anyone else!
Yes, shout out to them. It’s terrible that all that bad stuff happened. All the acephobia it’s so annoying.

Aromantic is trending #1 rn, if this is to combat the massive influx of aphobia recently on sites like Twitter then that makes me very happy

i've seen people get confused at the fact that as aspec visibility increases, conservatives have started calling asexuality perverted, because asexuality is hard to present as hypersexual. First of all this is conflating sexual attraction and sexual behavior, ace people aren't all virgin sex repulsed celibates or live like monks. But i get that given how little conservatives know about ace people it is fair to assume they'd make that assumption. More importantly, this is missing the aspect of the christian conception of sexuality as a temptation that must be, first of all never spoken about, recognizing your own lack of sexual attractiong is knowing too much sexual education in their eyes, second, overcome to prove your love for god, third, is not up to you to define but up to god. If you feel no attraction, there's no virtue in not "committing the sin of carnal desire", and ace people who have sex are seen as doing so outside of strict bodily neccessity and thereful sinful as well. Plus of course the regular belief that every human must procreate and it's god's design that they have kids to further the species etc etc

I think what hbomberguy missed out on his video was the way James Somerton also dismissed ace people's oppression by claiming that they didn't 'go through conversion therapy' or apparently 'suffered as much as gay men'.
So here's a video I want to share by the Ace Couple going into depth about the whole thing and how James reacted when called out... spoilers, he didn't react well. I just hope by James' mistakes he and other people can learn something and grow.

ahhh this subject, this topic, this 'if you don't get married then you aren't an adult and your whole life should revolve around the whole family thing' and talking as if it is a given, this looming doom over my queer head. 
On one hand the documentary is nice because sometimes parents are understanding. Mine aren't, and for some reason they hardly show the not-so-accepting ones when it comes to minorities but alas, there are the surprisingly accepting ones. It's a hit or miss and quite the Russian roulette. 
On the other hand the sentiment of 'you must get married' is there regardless. I don't think I'd be able to explain the way I feel about the whole thing without too many sappy words and metaphors that I'd never be able to say before interjections and overall disdain. AND the threat looms ever nearer. I don't like getting older in a society with expectations. It's not for me. I’m not sure what I will do. At all. I do not see a solution because of two completely warring ideologies. And I’m not sure who to ask because no one I know is both desi and on the aroace spectrum sooo…. I guess I’ll have to figure something out or run away to the woods when I’m older. Not that I can handle isolation. So there’s that too. And I don’t think I’m being over dramatic…sometimes I am but last time I even touched this subject briefly with my parents, it was a whole thing, spirals and not fun for months and months and drastic stuff. So Adult life things? If it’s anything like last year's brush with this then I’ll need to build up some ‘happiness inducing and comfort mechanisms’ ahead of time. 
I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like I’m in the tentative, last ‘safe period’ of my life. From here it’s…. Choices I don’t want to make. Ha. Fun. 
Apologies for the unsolicited rant!

It feels less like you want to address a real life problem to characters, but more like you want to have another of your characters you constantly baby and want others to fangirl over.
TW: Rape, SA, Racism, Stereotyping, Homophobia, Acephobia, Arophobia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The representations of topics in media DOES affect real people.
Fiction can affect reality.
Let's start easy, Jaws. This goes back to Hazbin I promise.
"Since the release of Jaws in 1975, the world has witnessed a staggering decline of 71% in shark and ray populations, and around 100 million sharks are killed each year." (including multiple practices of mass hunting sharks in competition)
Both Steven Spielberg and the original writer Peter Benchley regret the movie and book. It's a big reason of the shark treatment, when it started by old fishermen worrying about shark biting people in the beaches they made money of.
Even if you aren't a shark killer yourself, a lot of things you believe of sharks are untrue myths that come from making sharks "evil" human killer animals. Sharks cannot smell blood from miles away, that's not even how water works, the particles of blood need to enter their nostrils. Sharks are not man eaters, they attack other prey animals before human. Shark attacks are extremely rare, even if they happen they are not justifiable to kill all sharks.
Tumblr media
Sharks actually have personalities they can fit in, they are smart and recognize people and boats- and form positive relationships with people. They can even like getting pet by people.

Other level to represent other thing sin media that affects reality we can address Queer, representation as a topic.
I hope it is not a surprise for you... possible non-straight, non-cis person reading this. That the constant representation of gay man as kid predator is a problem. They used old commercial (PSA) to spread negative views of gay man. Media is used to spread messages and affect its viewer. This is, there are cartoons created by Jehovah witness (or similar religions) to spread their beliefs and teach to their children in an easy, digestible way.
Same with the amount of straight woman that went off to read shitty yaoi manga and fetishy gay wattpad stories, and went to sexualize and diminish queer men. Constantly making gay man's personality into bottom or top (uke and seme shit). I witness this irl, others have too.
Same with shitty men that view Lesbians as a porn machine for men, cause "monkey brain like woman, lesbian = two women". Which happens in general and adult media. All of these are EASY examples.
Another one which turns out many people don't think about. Having your representation of an AroAce character (on purpose or not) be the psychopath with no feelings. Associating the not being romantically or sexually to means you have no heart, to be abnormal, by then a psychopath. An abuse or serial killer.
Fiction does affect reality-
A racist film, 'Birth of the nation' Revived the KKK and let to all the discrimination, and the homicide of black people of centuries ahead.
youtube
-
Coming back around, how you treat the topic of SA, and r-pe- affects the real world. You would think someone who wrote that, had in mind on how that affects people in real life. Didn't you want to represent victims of SA/R-pe that are sex workers and male?
Reducing the r-pist, pimp, trafficker character to an air head to treat as silly is crazy to do. Specially as... oh idk... the creator? Both this and the tweet of the voice actor calling Val "Bubbles Coded" is so crazy. The character is also not deep enough by itself, it's pretty much Stupid and a R-pist sex trafficker. The tweet below Viv's fucking kills me too.
The fact Val is shown to be air head stupid doesn't delete he backed Angel (and by being a sex trafficker and a pimp, and him licking charlie that means he has multiple victims) into a corner and under his control. Too then abuse of him in many different ways. Manipulations are not only done by Super mastermind people, and representing it in such way diminished, affects people who have being manipulated and actually try to question if they have being or not. Manipulators can be normal, average people, they usually are not obvious. Even if Val is openly a shitty person that's really obvious, it doesn't detract from him being manipulative to people. The scene where Val threatens him in chains that is manipulation, his text messages are manipulation (even if you think it is too obvious to be successful).
Tumblr media
How you represent SA/R-PE, and its perpetrators, do affect real life.
Going around and having your "serious R-pe episode", to then go in other episodes or the other series you are writing to make r-pe/sa jokes is terrible. For the person that directed the whole scene of poison to NOT be r-pe/sa victim (said by themselves) with a r-pe fetish with this character's in specific, to directed in the most graphic way possible is awful. To go around babying your r-pist character is crazy.
youtube
Hope you understand that this doesn't mean not treating any topic at all. Creators should be awere on how they treat topics and the scenarios they create with them, too. People and viewers need to also put their brain to understand the media they consume. But you can't always put all blame only on the viewers of a series, if media is messy is a fault of the media. You can criticize both.
You need to acknowledge Valentino is indeed a terrible person, You don't need to delete his actions or the weight of them.
I also just know that a lot of Val fans just like him to draw him in r-pe art and get their fetishized gay ship. Cause that's what they are into. You won't even do that with a woman, because you are into your fucked up fetishized gay porn from wattpad you never left behind.
If you like him, FUCK IT, just please take his abuse seriously. Don't default your entire usage, and view of the character to be 'uwufied' fandom stuff, please.
I hate how the topic has being treated, in and out of the show. I'm a victim, and I'm hurt by how these things are treated and knowing how it affects others. Even in things I haven't watched! Don't make the argument don't like it? Just don't watch it. The movies from the video of SA of men being a joke, many I haven't watch- that still affects over all. It's still a problem and it's disheartening.
Also have this:

Hey folks! Please don’t go to @asexual-means-no-attraction for advice! They do not believe in Mirco labels, have issues with non-binary people, believes asexual can only mean zero sexual attraction to anyone, believes pansexual is biphobic and a bunch more! ( link to their pinned post here)
Do not go and hate on them, just block and move on! But please do not go to them for advice on asexual attraction and questions, instead my blog is always open and here are some awesome blogs; @asexualadvice @asexualfactoftheday (please tag more! I would love to make a list of the best!!)
(Some more I’ve found starts here; @ace-xual )

Aroace culture is your father always making jokes about your mother beating him, and yet she never lays a finger on him. You know they love each other very much.
Aroace culture is your grandmother telling you that men are worthless, and yet her husband does all the work. They smile and laugh like nothing matters.
Aroace culture is your Aunt forever saying you'd make a lovely wife to some man. She tells you to never give a man the time of day.
Aroace culture is being told by everyone that you'd make a man very happy one day, that they'll love you and you can have kids and be happy. That your lost desire for sex is a problem, that you haven't found the right person yet.
Aroace culture is saying you'll wait for marriage, is saying you haven't found The One.
Aroace culture is never wanting what everyone else has, and yet feeling so broken when you don't have it.
