Dat Me.

✨Dat me.✨

hello! so, im aroace right. and i recently found labels that fit me! angled and oriented aroace!

angled aroace - being on the arospec and acespec, not necessarily being 'strictly' aro and/or ace (ex. aromantic demisexual, demiaroace, asexual lithoromantic...)

oriented aroace - aroace but with an orientation (ex. lesbian, bi, etc.)

and i went to search if there was a flag that combined the two.. and nothing!

so, i made it.

i present to you, oriented + angled aroace flag!

EDIT: i decided to give it a particular name, Euclidean AroAce!

it comes from Euclidean geometry, in which there's this thing called an oriented angle lol.

please let this reach the right people and help it grow!

Wait for no one-

Happy International Museums Day to the following people:

The guy who called me the Whore of Babylon for teaching kids about Ancient Egypt as I stood there and nodded.

The woman who was deeply incensed that staff wouldn't open the cases so she could touch the organic objects.

The one guy who made me translate hieroglyphs on a stele for him, then was mad because it didn't say what he wanted it to say, and reported me for 'lying' to the public.

The parents who objected to the taxidermied animals having taxidermied genitalia because it was unseemly.

Those kids on a school trip who got on the floor in front of a mummy and started chanting 'we worship Ra' as their teacher desperately tried to get them to leave.

That one guy who...uh...really liked geodes. No, they were not a special interest. He really, really liked geodes.

silly idea

As much as I am sex-averse (and incredibly sex repulsed), I am strongly under the belief of being sex-positive. People should be able to express themselves freely, even if that is in a sexual manner. It's just something I, personally, am uncomfortable with. But my feelings on what I see shouldn't get in the way of their happiness.

Just look away if it's in a video (or skip the section, which is probably better in most situations) or block tags online where you can; block profiles if you must (as bad as I feel for doing so myself when I can't tell if it's a bot or not).

the difference matters:

sex-positive: you want people in general to be able to sexually express themselves freely. this should ideally include asexuality. this is not about you as an individual.

sex-favourable: you want to have sex for whatever reason.

sex-neutral: you don't really have an opinion about freedom of sexual expression. this is about people in general, not you specifically.

sex-indifferent: you don't really care if you personally have sex or not, you could take it or leave it.

sex-negative: you only want people to have a limited sexual expression.

sex-averse: you don't want to participate in sex.

positive/neutral/negative refer to your stance on how sex is treated within society.

favourable/indifferent/averse refer to how you personally feel about participating in sex.

you can be a sex-averse asexual and still be sex-positive.

there's a common misconception that aces, especially sex-averse aces, are all "anti-sex", but some parts of the ace community still hasn't learned the nuance of these terms either. i still see people call sex-favourable aces sex-positive when they mean different things.
