I Just Got Slapped Across The Face With The Aegosexual One

I just got slapped across the face with the aegosexual one

Hey, so...

I'm starting to think I might be completely asexual instead of demisexual. Idrk what to think, though... Could I please have input from y'all?

If you wanna protect AO3 or character ai. Or Wattpad. Or Tumblr. Or discord. Or even the right for undocumented people and minors to use the fucking Internet reblog this I swear to God. Reblog this and reblog as many KOSA posts as you can go on their website and contact your Representatives. Do it. Do it. Do it.

REAL!!! The lesbians got She-Ra meanwhile we got a cannibal, murderous and downright terrifying in their show’s terms demon, and even then we can’t have shit since a few people got horny while this specific character was on screen.

Please, atleast just understand the nuance of a character’s aro/ace-sexuality before shipping them. There’s a reason we have to headcanon a bunch of characters we relate to/like as aro and/or ace, because the representation of people on the spectrum, let alone good representation of them is so rare in media.

I’m not saying you can’t outright ship a character just because theyre canonically on the spectrum, but only for it to be taken acknowledge of.

I don’t think allo people understand: you get everyone else. Almost every single fictional character is allo. Every character that exists is allo until proven aro/ace/aroace. So on that rare occasion when we actually get representation, and when it’s genuinely good representation, please just let us have it. Many allo people are respectful, and I thank them for that, but it’s impossible to ignore the massive problem in fandom culture of downplaying the importance of, or even downright erasing, an aro/ace/aroace characters’ identities. Aro characters are shipped all the time, which is fine if you understand the nuances of the identity and see that it is a complex thing to be aromantic, but I see a lot of people who don’t, and think that they can say ‘oh but aro people can date’ as an excuse to ship a character. This happens with ace characters too, they are sexualised in fandom all the time (I’m not talking about any characters specifically, but I’ll tag a few who come to mind). Again, this is understandable if you understand, but if you are sexualising an asexual character just because you find them hot or just for the sake of it, surely you understand why we are upset. This is not me trying to pick a fight, I’m just an aroace who is frustrated. 

You guys get everyone else. Just let us have the few who we see ourselves in. 

This, this is the post I was talking about

Here’s a tip I learned

Whenever you want somebody to shut the fuck up, just go wide eyed at one point and say “shh!”.

Look around with fear, whisper with as much genuine sounding tremble as you can “did you hear that?”

DO NOT ANSWER WHEN THEY ASK WHAT YOU MEAN!

And when your preferred time of silence is over, just go “nevermind…” and never mention it again. It fucks with them on a hilarious level.

The only reason I downloaded tumblr again

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
