I think grip weed was making fun of what demisexuals claim to be, not so much their name. I don't think it's too out of line to say it's insulting to real minority groups to say anyone can be considered an oppressed minority as long as they make up a name for their sexuality/gender/etc and pick flag colors and say they are an oppressed minority online. Like people saying they identify as an attack helicopter is a stupid thing to say for a reason - nobody actually feels that way, just like nobody truly feels they are shunned from society because they treat romance like everyone else. The "but sometimes I don't" aspect of it doesn't count as an exception to the norm. It's like saying you have a dietary problem because you're hungry, but other times you aren't.

My take goes towards the general sentiment of the thread, if not the specifics. "LOL who's even heard of anybody getting murdered for that? Why are they part of the LGBTQ family?"

That's a total bullshit take, and the thread has already devolved into "let's look up minority groups and make fun of their names."

Good job, guys. You did it.

Yeah, usually people that claim to be demisexual dramatically overestimate how much casual sex other people have from what I've seen. Most people aren't heading to the bar to gently caress somebody new with no strings attached every weekend but you get shut ins assuming that's the default these days. Most people prefer loving people they have an emotional attachment to so demi isn't some minority like homosexuality is.

I wonder how many of them also feel guilty about being straight or feel left out when LBGT conversations are happening.

as an oxysexual (I am only attracted to people who breathe oxygen, but coincidentally not dudes) I agree 100%. it's bad enough that the heterosexual majority has oppressed me for my "deviant lifestyle" but now so-called allies are attacking me too.

i am disgusted by the crab bucket mentality within the lgbt community, they should move the focus away from "mainstream" orientations like being gay or trans and give more of a voice to truly marginalized minorites such as myself.

Extremely niche opinion: the people who say they cry to boygenius (or their members' solo music) and the people who say the new Daughters album is "disturbing" are both being performative and dramatic.

Stereogum, Pitchfork, AV Club and Noisey off the top of my head all have at least one of them. You could substitute boygenius for the somewhat more popular Mitski because she has the same performatively weepy male fans.

Music snobs are the WORST though.

I play bass pretty often with my actually talented friends, viola, and all of the main low brasses but I don't even know how to respond to "so what kind of music do you like"

And I like it that way.

There was a goon who said every time she goes on a blind/internet date, she always tells the dude "I only listen to Rap, Country, and Top-40" and she's continually surprised how pissy and flustered they get. So that's my go-to answer.

Also Electric Six is the best band.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
The obsession in creating hyper-specific subgroups (music genres, sexualities, etc) is most likely going to end up being a very bad idea.

Pfft, you obviously don't understand real music. I only listen to subliminal trance hop house monkeycore. It's the pinnacle of music, which you obviously know nothing about. It's played best at 3000 BPM on a record player balanced on top of a chunk of diorite.
