aces: literally talk about nothing but their sexual feelings in excruciating detail 24/7

also aces: how dare The Allos expect us to ever talk about what we want or don’t want from a relationship like normal human beings, don’t they understand that asking us to disclose our Ace Status is extremely stressful and therefore aphobic

Hey maybe don’t sexualize aces pretending we talk about our “sexual feelings in excruciating detail” all day, as a WoC I really don’t find it cute like it’s sexualizing and incredibly out of line and harmful and I don’t care how much you hate us just stop holy shit

And yeah as an ace I also refuse to act like a “normal human being” sure

Like when aces say comparable shit they get rightfully called out bc it’s shitty and harms a lot of oppressed groups, but then it frequently gets done to aces and frequently by the same ppl who’ll call aces out for comparable shit and suddenly it’s supposed to be okay?

Like this crap is really creepy and toxic and did I mention please stop

like i said in my tags this was about specific people who were literally saying this exact stuff elsewhere

you guys have literally built your movement around micro-identity labels that already include unnecessary details about your (lack of) sexual preferences. so yeah, “sexual feelings” in this case also includes “lack of sexual feelings” because either way that’s more information than anyone needs to know about someone else’s sex life (or lack thereof) that they’re not directly involved in. pointing that out =/= sexualizing anyone

also i’m sorry buddy but refusing to speak with a potential romantic partner about what kind of expectations you both have about your relationship (and, specifically, whether or not it includes sex) because it makes you uncomfortable is…. not normal behavior lmao. that’s what this post was referring to, not aceness in itself but i mean whatever

anyway this is all im gonna say about this so tbh just block me if it bothers you

Don’t say “aces” and then pretend aces don’t get to be upset about this sort of nasty generalization and sexualiztion. That crap does not just affect one specific person, and in your second paragraph u make it very clear again it’s about all of us. And yeah saying we talk about our “sexual feelings in excruciating detail 24/7″ is in fact sexualizing and not harmlessly pointing anything out

But okay good to know u don’t care and don’t care how it affects me as a WoC thanks for the racism/misogynoir it’s what I’ve come to expect from ppl who ate aces/aros lol have a good day

Eta: also bonus points for saying talking with anyone the person doesn’t have sex with/who’s not directly involved in their “sex life” about sex is TMI like that’s super sex-shaming and toxic but okay. Also my orientation is not a graphic detail about anything omg. wow. wow

As an allosexual person let me just say that WE ALSO talk about our sexual feelings frequently. I talk all the time about shit like “wow I’m so gay, I’m gay as hell for her” and guess what! That is me talking about my sexual attraction to someone! But if an ace does it, yucky, that’s TMI, they’re dirty and inappropriate, right?? Wrong. Stop oversexualizing aces.

^^^ What they said

As a person of color it really makes me uncomfortable that you’re oversexualizing my orientation and that you’re actually taking issue with people telling you not to.

Like, my existance is already either oversexualized or any sexuality is stripped from me, so maybe acknowledge that this is a shit post instead of coming up with a half-asses explanation as to how “it isn’t what it looks like!!” Because it’s exactly what it looks like.

they said aces talk about their orientation too much, and in too much detail. and then said that aces aren’t talking to their romantic partners about their orientations, which is bad. and then said this isn’t about aceness specifically, despite Only naming aces in the post

aces talk about sex too much AND too little. i think the problem is that you haven’t met an ace person in real life and you’re just getting your info from a movement trying to defame them tbh

“if lgbt+ people have always existed then why aren’t they in history books?” shit. you got us sharon. you’re right, we’re a recent invention. the truth is, chad, gay people were invented in 1974 when there was a m*a*s*h episode about a gay soldier. bisexuality wasn’t invented until freddie mercury wrote “bicycle race” in the late 70s. the song starts with him going “BI” really loudly and we were like hey thats a cool idea lets be into multiple genders. and then ellen invented lesbians in the late 90s on her sitcom that was pretty cool. please don’t be mad at me fellow gays i just thought it was about time to give up the ruse, donna over here already figured it out anyway

Can we go a day with no wypipo bullshit? 🙄🙄

No, please don’t call these people “fans.” They’re not fans, they’re racists who want to start shit. Real Star Trek fans have no issues with diversity. This is the SAME show that gave Nichelle Nichols the role of Uhura in an unprecedented show of social progress. This is the same show that featured one of the best, strongest female characters and captains of all time (Janeway), etc. Don’t call these ugly racists “fans,” because fans of Star Trek appreciate it almost ENTIRELY for its progressive imagining of a society with equality for all people, with a sense of community, with scientific progress, with a complete absence of capitalism, racism, and sexism. 

Call a spade a spade: these are ugly white racists who don’t know shit about Star Trek.

Like, I don’t wanna hear a SINGLE PEEP from these racist, nationalist douchebags about my perfect Socialist-Utopian-Future-Humanity-With-Equality-For-All show.

They can SIT THE FUCK DOWN! Y’all ugly racists ruined this nation, but y’all ain’t fucking ruining Star Trek too!

Deep Space Nine starred a black man, a black child, a brown man, a bunch of aliens, and exactly one white man.

Voyager starred two white women, a native man, an Asian man, a half-Latina woman, some aliens, a hologram, and exactly one white man.

This was over 20 years ago. What franchise have they been watching?

Exactly!

I.D.I.C. , Mother Fuckers

Someone needs to make an “IDIC Motherfuckers!!” pin or badge or something!

[Image is a thread of tweets from Micro SF/F stories (@MicroSFF), which read as follows:

The robot opened itself, took out five power cells, and placed them at the pentagram points. Not blood, but it hoped the sacrifice would do.It began the incantation. A sticky darkness fell over the center of the pentagram, the power cells exploded, and a shadowy figure appeared.The demon probed the mystic bonds, then turned to the robot.
“Why have you summoned me?”
“Do I have a soul?”
“Would you bargain with it?”“Do I have a soul?” the robot repeated.
“A machine can not summon or bind my kind,” the demon said. “Yes, you have a soul. Do you offer it?”“Now I know,” the robot said, and performed the banishment ritual.
It could not smile, nor frown, but stood still in thought.
“Now I know.”
The End]

so i might have an angry rant going but.. i want you all to start being more intersectional with things.. because this isn’t good enough.

when you are marginalised in many ways, there will be overlaps of traits, and you will have a specific experience from being multiply marginalised.

very often this will be labelled as intersecting marginalised identities… that is literally what intersectionality means – you recognise that people who are marginalised in multiple ways have a specific unique experience from that.

i’m autistic, and i’m queer. this shapes me and makes my experience among autistic and queer people differently from the straight and allistic people in the respective communities.

additionally, a huge part of autism is not grasping social constructs, and struggling to conform to social and cultural things.. a lot of conceptions of straightness is artificial and cultural.

this means that a large part of my perception of straight society will be impacted by me being autistic. i struggle to relate to others’ experiences, and i find a lot to be performative… and you know, as a queer person – i find it beneficial to think of it this way too.

and i literaly cannot just say that these things are because i’m one of the things.. i’m not autistic sometimes, queer other times.. i’m always autistic and queer.

i have an intersecting marginalised experience.

shitting on people who literally label this intersecting experience, is being dismissive of and not recognising properly that people can be marginalised in multiple ways, and it is not intersectional activism.

so please stop.. and perhaps recognise that reality isn’t always your black-and-white social theories on what lgbt+ is and what disability is.. and perhaps don’t throw people under the bus who already have a hard time fitting into multiple communities.

i see this shit mostly coming from allistic lgbt+ people, and i just want you all to know this is not ok.. and you all are making lgbt+ spaces unsafe and unwelcoming for people who are multiply marginalised with being disabled/nd + lgbt+.

despite all the deceit and distraction people make out of it… the kind of transmisogynistic reactionary ideologies that many people have.. does definitely have negative consequences for all lgbt+ people, including cis lg people.

a lot of people will often pretend that their ideology is about the preserving of cis lg people.. but imo, the way people stigmatise epicene or androgynous traits, or things that break off from straight or cis norms…

has rarely distinguisher on a societal level for who it fucks over. by this i mean.. if you antagonise people for dressing in ways that do not conform to what gender they are perceived as by people in general..

then that antagonism will have consequences that will not distinguish between various lgbt+ people.

to put it simply… your transphobia will hurt cis lgb people too, as a lot of aspects of cissexism manifests in similar ways to heterosexism.

and i feel it does not really help that these reactionaries often align themselves with the kind of crowd that would support conversion therapy, sodomy laws, and any laws that discriminate against The Queers..

let’s be real here.. if you fail to be intersectional and inclusive of all lgbt+ people, you’re not really helping any of us… and you’re probably just contributing to stigma and oppression by antagonising us.
