"You can't headcanon autistic characters as asexual, it desexualizes them!" It's very telling you see asexuality as desexualizing, I don't tho ;)

Dear Anon,
I am not going to actually publicly answer your ask because a lot of the language you used was very rude and hateful, and the last thing I want to do is trigger anyone who sees it. However, given that I am very aware of your type of anons and your stalking tendencies, I am going to make this post addressing a few things since I'm sure you'll see it.
First off, in the future, kindly refrain from spewing acephobia in my askbox at ten thirty in the damn morning. Or any time, really, but at least let me be awake enough to properly comprehend your level of stupidity.
Secondly, no, I will not stop creating OCs on the ace spectrum or putting canon characters in relationships with my those OCs. Representation matters, especially when it comes to identities like demisexual who don't get any representation at all. And even if I could be convinced to stop, the ask you sent me is definitely not the way to go about it.
And thirdly, arguably most importantly: fuck you. Fuck your acephobia. Go to hell.
Sincerely,
a sex-repulsed ace who doesn't give a shit what you have to say

TERF+s aren't the only ones who latch onto "queer is a slur." That sentiment is a favorite of all exclusionists. I truthfully doubt these fake-leftists actually plan this out, per se, but "queer is a slur" is also a good starting point for radicalizing newbies. "Queer is a slur...you're being oppressed when you're called that...other 'members' of the LGBTQ+ movement are doing it...it's [x] subgroup..."
The complicated truth is that fascist and bigoted ideologies are always built on "someone's taken something from me and my group" or "someone's trying to take something from me and my group." mostly it's important to remember that fascist and/or bigoted rhetoric is inherently exclusionist; there is always at least one group which will not thrive in said movement's world. They will hide (maybe), have their personhood stripped away from them, or die to appease this movement's members. That's it. those are their only options.
Trans people won't thrive in a radfem's world. There's a reason they use the term "trans ideology" so often. Similarly, acephobes will call it "asexual ideology" or make embittered posts about MOGAI. This, too, is why "transmeds" (who also generally don't like "queer" btw) are kind of fascistic, actually; in their eyes, trans people who haven't undergone any gender-affirming medical treatments are excluded from the LGBTQ+ community. And while many of them respect pronouns for the sake of politeness or even open-mindedness, trans people who didn't undergo medical treatment cannot thrive in their world. In their ideal world, a trans man who's too poor to afford gender-affirming treatment at the moment is not formally a man, and they sympathize with people who won't respect their pronouns. In their ideal world, there's "two sides" to stripping someone of their identity and their right as its arbiter.

one of these days arophobes/acephobes will come to realize that no amount of minor personal discomfort someone on either the aro and/or ace spectrums may have towards forms of affection in intimate relationships/specific types of relationships can amount or will ever amount to the complete and utter violent hatred our society has towards queer identities on the whole.
And on that day, lotta folks are gonna have some sore ass hands from punching down for so long. Looking forward to it!

🎵 🎡 🔒 for Mordecai aaanndddd 🎉 for funsies :3
🎵 List three songs that remind you of your selfship.
1. Love At First Sight by The Brobecks
"Could this be love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?/Oh wait I said that before," is just super cute and summarizes the course of their relationship pretty well.
2. Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl by of Montreal
Silver is trans so, even if he was born female, it's nice to imagine Mordecai singing that to him and acknowledging him as a man regardless. Like "wish you were born a girl because you aren't one" type thing. Also gay Mordecai angst.
3. Butch 4 Butch by Rio Romeo
"The music we make is unnatural, but it sounds just like falling in love," really describes how others look down on their relationship. Especially with them both being ace and Silver trans, some people see it as "wrong" or even pity them. And Silver is definitely the butch in question lol.
🎡 What’s your dream date to go on with your F/O?
Somewhere nice and quiet. Like maybe a picnic in a very private venue next to a river or something. That'd be nice. Maybe during Fall, since there's less bugs and it's my favorite season!
🔒 What does your platonic F/O think about your F/O? Are they overprotective of you?
So, I have a few, platonic F/Os in this case so I'll do a little thing for all of them about their feelings on the relationship;
Atlas: Mordecai is basically his golden boy, so he'd pretty much approve of anyone showing interest in him, and him them in turn as he sees Mordecai as "very selective" with who he's actually nice with. In this equation, he's more worried Mordecai's hidden soft side is too sensitive to deal with all of Silver's everything lol.
Mitzi: Oh she thinks Mordecai is a bit of a creep and a definite weirdo, constantly asking herself what the Hell he's doing here (he doesn't belong here in her opinion). Those two have been battling for Atlas' affections and the title of the best baker with each other since the day they first met. She is genuinely worried about Silver with Mordecai (she preferred him with just Viktor) but respects Silver's judgement.
Wick: He finds Mordecai pretty damn intimidating, but can tell he cares about Silver and is in full support of them. He even becomes conversation buddies with Mordecai at some point due to them both having a keen interest in oddly specific facts and reading on the topics that interest them the most. Wick loves the exchange of knowledge and very interesting view points from Mordecai.
Freckle: He admires Mordecai's collected yet kind demeanor a lot and wants to be more calculated like him in some ways. He thinks Mordecai and Silver are secretly very kind people that deserve each other.
🎉 Tell us some fun facts about your newest selfship!
Hm, that'd probably be one I'm looking into right now involving Cameron from Wylde Flowers (really cute farming and witch game with good LGBTQ rep, I'd highly recommend it!). I don't know much about it yet. Mostly that my S/I is a very shy and trans dude that wears pastel overalls, something Cameron is extremely supportive and sweet about. Like, he'd pick a fight if anyone disrespected that lol.
Original Game

It’s so crazy to me that people associate asexuality and sex repulsion with women, can’t imagine it in a guy, don’t think men like that exist, ect ect. It’s part of that ace feeling of “but wait doesn’t everyone feel like that?” Like as an asexual sex repulsed man I think asexual sex repulsed and immediately think “man.” To me it’s crazy that other men actually be fuckin it’s wild

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.

Hi, it's Asexuality Awareness Week and I would like to share one of the reasons why it's important to raise awareness: including asexuality in legal protection.
One of the reasons why legal protections are necessary is the case of asylum seekers. Asexual asylum seekers, who are endangered in their home country, are routinely not accepted as asylum seekers because the legislation protects LGBT people but doesn't include asexuality in the acronym.
Let's see a couple of examples:
In 2018, an Algerian man applied for asylum in the Netherlands, explaining that he feared being persecuted in his country of origin for being asexual and for refusing to marry his niece.
The Netherlands, a country that accepts LGBTI asylum seekers, did not accept this man's asylum request because asexuality is not mentioned as being in the LGBTI. The court also said that asexuality is not punishable in Algeria. But not being legally called by its name and explicitly punished does not mean asexual people don't face discrimination, forced marriages, and threats of violence and rape. (Marriage itself, by the laws in most of the world, must include "consummation", whether the people involved want to or not).
This is the case of a 26-year-old woman living in Senegal, using the pseudonym Jade. Her family, across the border in Guinea, demanded that she find a man to marry. Her sister told her that if she didn’t, their parents would force her to wed a man who would rape her.
In Guinea and Senegal, forced marriages are common – the same sister who threatened Jade was in one herself. Divorce is also heavily stigmatised – when one of Jade’s cousins told her abusive husband she wanted a divorce, he said he would shoot her, her mother and himself.
Jade is a sex-repulsed asexual woman. She feared being married to someone she didn’t love and being subjected to so-called “corrective rape” until she bore children.
She considered suicide.
Her mother suggested sending her to therapy to fix her "aversion to marriage", when Jade refused, the mother said she'd "fix" her herself. She had Jade lay on the floor while she put her hand on her chest and prayed over her, asking afterwards whether she felt any different.
For a while, Jade’s last resort was escaping West Africa permanently. After she began studying in the US, it became her first choice. When researching what her options were, she found the case from the Netherlands that we've talked about before this one. She also found that legislations that aim to protect LGBTQI around the world don't include asexuality.
At present, the only piece of legislation which explicitly mentions asexuality is New York’s Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act of 2003. However, that didn’t help Jade. A New York lawyer told Jade that there was no information as to whether asexuality was grounds for asylum in the US. After a long process of trying in the USA, she couldn't make it but after a year and a half she found an opportunity to do an internship in Ireland, where she lives now.
Since leaving West Africa, Jade has learned that her parents had chosen a husband for her without her knowledge, not long before she managed to escape. She says that, had she not been able to escape, she wouldn't be alive today.
This is what people mean when they say "asexuals aren't LGBTI!", "We can't have asexuals stealing our resources!". These are the kind of resources they mean: the ones that could save the life of a person being discriminated against for not being heterosexual heteroromantic and not conforming to the normative ideas of what their love and sex life should be like. An issue that is deeply shared with the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I briefly mentioned before how online kink communities are one of the few places I feel safe a trans person (I follow far far left subreddits and still feel twinge of fear whenever trans topics are brought up), but now that I've been to a few irl kink events the sad thing is,, they're also more inclusive of asexuals then queer communities are.
You have to pull teeth to get queers to admit aces even exist, much less include us, MUCH LESS actually know anything asexuality or the ace community. If you mention aces in kink queers hound you like "Wait I thought aces where evil sex negative puritans who hated sexuality?" "How could an ace ever possibly enjoy kink? How how how?
But multiple hosts/educators unprompted were like, yeah, aces are kinky sometimes and are welcome here :")

Dear fellow asexuals (especially, but not limited to, sex-averse and -repulsed asexuals), what are your thoughts on the word “prude”, how it is defined, and how it is used against asexual people? I’m genuinely curious about what other people think of the word and how it’s used. Personally, I’m annoyed with it.

did i ever tell you guys about the time My Ex said she'd fuck alastor from hasbin and i was like. isnt he asexual?
and she said "yeah but i can fix him"
so i painted the asexual ring in myself with acrylics
that happened
4 days later she made a tiktok about how i sa'd her so that was fun
extra fun cause she id'ed as a lesbian and i'd been girlmode for months
and all i ever did was push a little by mildly flirting over text and she tied me up with a belt
and if you asked her shed be all like
"yeah (deadname) is a faggot and she sa'd me and pinned me to a wall"
i bought her chapstick and when she wouldn't put it on i was like "ok fine ill stop pestering you" and she got all sad and said "wheres the part where you make me? :(" so i was like fine bitch and grabbed her hand and pressed her in the general direction of the wall put the chapstick on her
and i asked her of she was uncomfortable multiple times and she said she was fine. I did say the word uncomfortable when i asked her.
and then a few days later she decided she was straight and called me a fag and not in the silly me too way
and then she accused me of being gay for my friend (and fellow transmasc @bellathebeanboy hi lucas :>) and sexually harassed him a few times at a point where he just figured out he wasn't a girl and My Ex still thought he was one
like her actual words were "you're a fucking faggot. (lucas's deadname.jpeg) is the one who made you one"
that whore was fucking insane lmfao

*sigh* Just saw a post...by a supposed aro person...saying in full seriousness. That aro/ace folk. Aren’t oppressed. And don’t suffer from systematic oppression.
Small, gentle, tender reminder: If you believe even a single damn lick of that, you’re a cunt and I want you to straight up block me. Aro/Acephobia ain’t cute. We are oppressed just as any other queer identity, and trying to other us from our own damn community is fucking VILE and will not be accepted near my blog.

Or have you all stopped being absolutely duck tits bonkers and grown up and realized how fucking ridiculous and horrible you were being to aspecs??
Me: *sees there's an 'exclusionist positivity tag'* Oh no....

I don’t see people talking about it a lot but I feel like the idea that ace people are immature, childish, „innocent“, or just all around child-like is VERY prevalent. Beyond just the whole „you’re a late bloomer“ thing, I’ve experienced many people treating me like a baby because I don’t like sex. Like they’ll make innuendos and be like „oops teehee forgot I don’t wanna traumatize you“ like. Brother. I’ve fucked more times than I can count and I’m not shy to admit it, I just didn’t realize the funny little thing that most people actually enjoy sex. I already struggle with being infantilized, between the autism and just looking really young. It’s so annoying, people will even act like they’re shocked I started dating someone because I’m so innocent! Awww I hope they don’t try anything with you besides holding hands in the schoolyard 😁😁 ace people are sooo wholesome uwu babies must protect! LIKE SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP YOURE A VIRGIN I FUCKED YOUR BOYFRIEND AND I WAS BORED THE WHOLE TIME
