I don't know what you think "gender" means, kid, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.


This just in: medical professionals who require a diagnosis of a medical condition before they'll prescribe life-altering medical treatment are super duper racist.


Apparently "asexual" means whatever the fuck y'all want it to mean.


Shut up, both of you.

I just got done talking to my sister about the latest 4chan / 8chan.co vs. Tumblr spat.

My sister says that five people from the Supernatural Fandom were triggered to death. As in they committed suicide.

I don't really believe it, but given the last time only one or around there people were affected in such a way, could this be showing 4chan's upping its game?

Tumblr is responding by making War Blogs, because cmon, its Tumblr, its not like they can be assed to actually do anything beyond Angry Blogging.

Say hello to the originator of the tucute movement, kiddos. That's right, the Ubertucute herself: Idislikecispeople.

I’m a magigirl! I’m about 85% trans girl and 15% agender.

WHAT?!

Aromantic demisexual I think?

*Hand slides off face after facepalming*

My name is Kat, think of it like a nickname. I'm the tucute queen, a gorgeous magigirl, my preferred pronouns are kit/kits/kitself, I'm a taurus, kittykin, firekin, ISFJ, and I'm an aromantic demisexual. ♥

I'm just a badass magical girl here to voice my outrage against privileged, self-important cis people who think they are allowed to push their opinions in on trans matters. As well as attempting to stop truscum because they were once magical but got corrupted and I aim to collect their valuable grief seeds.

And welcome to the crazy weaboo side of things. First of all, "tucute queen" isn't exactly a title you want at all. Also, what the fuck are kitself pronouns?

She isn’t stated specifically and canonically to be cis, therefore she is trans,

THE CREATORS NEVER SAID MY HEADCANON IS WRONG, THEREFORE IT'S CANON! 1 1 1 1

Derailing my need of donations is literally pushing the hand of death upon me, and basically aiding in the death of a trans person in need of medication to continue living.

NOT GIVING ME A VIDEO GAME IS TRANSPHOBIA! No, really. She continues to beg for money allegedly for her insulin, yet uses it to buy video games instead.






WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHA-

Apparently "asexual" means whatever the fuck y'all want it to mean.

To be fair someone could be interested in some aspect of BSDM in a non-sexual way (perhaps they just enjoy the idea, or they want to please a partener, to infiltrate positions of power,  or because they find it aesthetically neat for whatever reason) and most AVEN communities I've seen (even outside of tumblr) agree.

Keep in mind I speak from the perspective of someone who has only slightly higher knowledge of Asexual culture than most people, so I could be completly off.

As far as I know, not a single person has ever died during the 4Chan "raids".

Oh, ADF.

Oh no, you guys, he's gonna interfere!  That probably translates to sitting on his arse on election day eating nachos.

This is actually makes some sense. While a lot of asexuals report no sex drive/ sexual feelings, there are those who do, but have no wish to act out those feelings with another person. So someone might identify as asexual who still has sexual fantasy and masturbates, watches porn, etc. Like most sexual orientations it's complicated.

Add to that, for a lot a praticioners, BDSM isn't necessarily sexual. Most BDSM clubs outright forbid sexual intercourse during play or scenes, and there is a lot of emphasis on spiritual and psychological catharsis. It can be as much about transcendence as dirty sex.

So this actually makes a little more sense than it seems at first.

Then they're not actually asexual, they have a perfectly existent sexuality. If that's going to fly, then I might as well "identify as" black, or a pilot, or a lion tamer, or anything else that I'm not and still expect everyone to take me seriously.

[Eiki-mun]

I always figured "asexual" didn't necessarily mean a lack of any sex drive, but more a lack of any sexual orientation. That is to say, you can still want to fuck, but you don't find anyone particularly attractive, whether they be male, female, or what have you. I mean, we don't assume bisexuals are constantly horny, so why should we assume asexuals are never horny?

Well here is what The Asexual Visibility & Education network has to say about it:

Attraction
Many asexual people experience attraction, but we feel no need to act out that attraction sexually. Instead we feel a desire to get to know someone, to get close to them in whatever way works best for us. Asexual people who experience attraction will often be attracted to a particular gender, and will identify as lesbian, gay, bi, or straight.

Arousal
For some sexual arousal is a fairly regular occurrence, though it is not associated with a desire to find a sexual partner or partners. Some will occasionally masturbate, but feel no desire for partnered sexuality. Other asexual people experience little or no arousal. Because we don’t care about sex, asexual people generally do not see a lack of sexual arousal as a problem to be corrected, and focus their energy on enjoying other types of arousal and pleasure.

Alternatively, they are using a vague term in a slightly different way than you are.

Asexual can reasonably be used to mean people who are indifferent to sex, people who find sex actively unpleasant, people who are not attracted sexually to anyone in particular, people who don't experience arousal, and other related groups.

Someone could conceivably enjoys orgasms but not want to have sex with anyone. Why shouldn't they identify as asexual, if they like? It's not like they will be using their Official Asexual ID Badge to fly planes without knowing how, it's just a term they are comfortable with* and they can use to describe their sexuality.


*And when it comes to sex, sexual orientation, and related subjects, being comfortable with a term can be a pretty big deal. It's part of the reason I'm not too hard on, say, men who are attracted to other men but don't want to call themselves gay. Given the society they grew up in, it's not surprising that the word gay has a few more connotations than just "is attracted to other men", most of them negative.

It seems silly to include people who are in fact sexually attracted to other humans, but simply choose not to pursue it for one reason or another. It just makes the term far too vague to be useful. Yeah, I can understand humouring people like that who claim to be asexual, if only to avoid drama. But when discussing actual sexualities, something that's an innate condition rather than a choice, such a definition would render it meaningless. Anyone could rightfully claim asexuality under that definition simply by choosing not to pork anyone.
