paradoxGentleman posted:
Asexuality is an orientation, like gay or straight. People who identify as asexual generally agree that they do not experience sexual attraction, but they will still masturbate for relaxation or have sex with a romantic partner and can orgasm from that because an orgasm is a physical/chemical reaction whereas attraction as a whole is more (but not entirely) mental. Of course, I don't speak for asexual people and I can only pass on what I know from my friends, but that's what I've been told. In addition, there are people who are actually anti-sexual and are grossed out or uncomfortable with sexuality, and those people also identify as asexual and some of them argue with people who just say they don't experience attraction as not being "real" asexuals. Complicating this are demisexuals, who identify as only experiencing sexual attraction to people with whom they have a significant emotional connection, and then "gray asexuals" who have experienced sexual attraction but only once or twice in their life. Then some people from all of these identities are in a bit of a battle for inclusion in LGBTQ (arguing that Queer isn't good enough and the acronym should be LGBTQA) and LGBTQ people fight back because asexuals will generally not face persecution for who they are because nobody is watching to see if they are loving their partners. It's all really complicated stuff that I think partially comes from the fact that society is so oversexed, people who don't fit that think they need a label for what they "are," which can't be normal because it doesn't fit the media. I'm generally not a "labels" person for stuff like sexuality and gender but it's easy for me to say that because the binaries that traditionally exist have always suited me. Again, though, I definitely can't speak for that community, and I would say the best way to understand it from their perspective is to just lurk and listen to those communities because they're so sick of explaining how they feel to people who will disagree that they have sort of decided nobody is worth educating, which is why you see tumblr soundbites like cash crab mentioned.

Haaaa demisexualty. "I have relationships where I'm attracted to the people I have sex with, unlike the rest of you dirty sluts." And I love how the asexuals demand recognition. They aren't getting shunned, losing family or jobs, or straight-up getting raped and murdered like the LGBT crowd, but they have to whine that hearing the word "sex" is so oppressive. Jesus.

See, I can understand having a sex drive but not actually being attracted to any type of person, they can be completely independent of each other. I can see there totally being a lack of hetero and homosexuality and anything in between. It's like being atheist but still having strong spiritual feelings within yourself. But a lot of these specialist "orientations" are just ridiculous. Demisexual or sapiosexual or any of those is just bonkers. Is finding someone who has the same music taste as you a sexual preference? No. So liking someone who's into nerd poo poo isn't an orientation either. There's nothing special about loving the person you're boning either. Stop trying to make orientations exist just for the attention.

Demisexual and sapiosexual are the best things to ever come from tumblr, because the second someone says they identify as one of those, you can just tune them out. Asexuality is a real thing, and I understand the desire for support and recognition, since a lot of them are degraded. Yeah, they don't have it nearly as bad as other members of the LGBT community. But when people just assume asexuals are lying, seeking attention, or just haven't found the right person yet, I can understand the frustration.

Back in the day if we had sex with someone we weren't attracted to or emotionally attached to, we just called that bored/horny/drunk/high.

RareAcumen posted:How the gently caress did What makes it extra confusing is that he's originally from Scotland, but for some reason, sounds Cajun. Also, sadly, we have a lot of white nationalists in Canada, but because no one wants to read about Canadian history, idiot racists here usually latch onto dramatic Nazi imagery to explain their discomfort or hatred with other races. 90% of the time they're just meatheads who got way too into Burzum when they were kids and can't find a real job.

I have a personal game I (don't) like to play on the bus every day here in east Calgary. It's called "How long until a white man says something racist on the bus?" It's a rare occasion it's more than 10 minutes.

Well yeah, I don't doubt asexuals exist. Definitely within the normal range of sexuality. That said, the number of "asexuals" that can do nothing more but write sex fanfics and talk constantly about sex makes me think that the number of and oppression of asexuals out there may be a bit overblown. Re: Canadians-- and here I am, just moved up the coast to Northern WA, and I keep thinking that Canadians are more likely to be friendly and intelligent than, say, the idiots that took over the Oregon federal buildings. Christ Please tell me most of you guys up there aren't scary racist rednecks. I wanna visit so bad!

I certainly have my own hangups about asexuals trying to worm their way into LGBT spaces but let's not pretend like it's not a problem if you cannot satisfy a partner due to your nonexistent sex drive.

Christ Calgarians are incredibly friendly. They've maintained that small town effect of trying to talk to anyone within touching distance, for any reason. Trying to buy some gum? Be prepared to have a lengthy conversation about the weather. Most Canadians aren't assholes, but any kind of assertion that we don't have a racism problem just adds to the issue. I'm in Toronto now, so it's a lot less pronounced but people can still say some pretty ignorant things, mostly about Muslims here.

This is the honest truth. lovely racists etc exist everywhere and they always really stand out, but they're still the minority. I work at a place that sees a lot of tourists, and a large number of people tell me how friendly and kind everyone in my city is and how much they love it here. But different neighbourhoods have different demographics and I just happen to experience the poo poo in higher concentrations than other areas of the city to the point it's a joke.

goose fleet posted:How exactly do you oppress an asexual Generally speaking it's probably people telling them they're just making excuses for the fact that they can't get laid or treating them like they're bizarre weirdos that are wrong somehow. Some people just don't want to gently caress though and that's nobody's business but theirs. Granted you could also have people who are attracted to an asexual person being all "come on let's do it!" and treating "but I don't have sex at all with anybody" like a stupid bullshit excuse that can't exist.

Generally, I'm okay with people claiming to be demisexual/sapiosexual/whatever, and same with the weirdo genders, because I'm just assuming they're a middle stage to someone's personal development. Like, they're usually just some teenager realizing that they don't match to what they've been told How People Are, so rather than just go with a situation they may not be happy with they start feeling out what does work for them. I mean they're teenagers, so they're gonna be insufferable about it anyway, but it's good for them that they go through this stage, get ridiculed for the dumb parts, and come out the other end thinking either 'I'm basically normal and that's okay' or 'I actually don't fit into what society thought I was'. Better that than bottling it up, trying to rationalize it and only succeeding in making it weird somehow. Through all that, though, it's still the asexuals that piss me off the most. That actually is a thing, so there's actually a signal for them to be loving up the signal-to-noise ratio of. And that is eventually, somewhere, somehow, going to gently caress up someone's journey of personal discovery pretty badly.

Better that than bottling it up, trying to rationalize it and only succeeding in making it weird somehow. Most people are just plain ol' heterosexual. People that are not heterosexual are getting a lot of attention lately because there's a ton of sociopolitical attention on LGBT rights. People are creating safe spaces for LGBT people because, well, people are often lovely to said demographic and they'd like to have somewhere they can go to feel safe, thanks. Suddenly though being just a plain ol' heterosexual is boring. You don't get a safe space and special attention if you're straight. By definition, because most people are plain ol' heterosexual, being heterosexual is normal. It's standard. More importantly it isn't special. So now you have people that so desperately want to be super special unique snowflakes inventing new sexualities so they can be different and special too. It's idiotic because a great many of these don't come with the baggage that being gay does. It's like these folks want the perks of being something other than plain ol' heterosexual without the bullshit that comes with it. It also has to do with completely misunderstanding the sexuality of others. For whatever reason a ton of people assume that most people just run around humping anything and everything all day ever day as if the standard is to have over 100 sexual partners in your life. Average is like...seven or something. Even so some people just desperately want to be a unique and special snowflake but really...what's wrong with being boring in some ways? Just because most people are heterosexual doesn't mean it's a bad thing and, last I heard, the gay agenda is most certainly not "kill all straights." edit: Just for laughs sometimes I like to say that I'm omnisexual. It's like pansexual only instead of wanting to have sex with everything I am having sex with everything.
