you know what’s wild? i know SO MANY asexuals outside of tumblr, and absolutely none of them are as desperate to be oppressed as all the people on here. in fact they barely even talk about their asexuality because ?? what’s there to talk about? they don’t experience sexual attraction and that’s literally all there is to it. they’re all amazing people, but i come on tumblr and my GOD you’re all assholes. why is there such a huge difference? why are you so obsessed with being ace? like maybe if you’re THIS obsessed with it and the fact you don’t want sex is on your mind ALL THE TIME then you might not be ace at all. thinking about sex so much sounds pretty allo to me.
Hey, crazy thought here, maybe they don’t talk about being ace around you because they know you’re an exclusionist and they know that if they do, you’ll probably start calling them incels or turbo virgins or something. Maybe they get a vibe off of you they don’t like.
And, “GOD, you’re all assholes?” Really??? Yall can’t go a week without, i repeat, calling them incels? Have you SEEN most of the shit exclusionists post about them on a regular basis? Ace people are the assholes??? I mean even here, you can’t even wrap this post up without shitting on aces for talking about their identity and using that to invalidate them. Read some of the shit you post.
i’ll be brutally honest, and I’m actually gonna say, I’m so fucking sorry for all your ace friends.
I’m guessing they aren’t talking much about being ace, because of you.
Interesting is also how you got the definition of asexuality right in the beginning of your post, but at the end said “don’t want sex”. I wouldn’t talk about being ace around you either of I were your “ friend”.
I, for my part, am talking so much about my sexuakity/the discourse surrounding it, because I’m fucking sick of it. Asexuality is not ‘not wanting to fuck’. It’s not experiencing sexual attraction. You (as in generally exclusionist) keep calling us ‘incels’ say we are all inherently homophobic, and can’t stop making moodbords with white supermacists. So fuck you, yes I’m going to be fucking whiny about this. And I will be in real life should I ever have to. I won’t quietly sit down while you shit on a good part of my identity.
Also, if you’re fucking want to go that rout, I ain’t talking a lot about me being Bi in real life, because I don’t have much to talk about it. A little more so about being trans, but not a lot. Only really if the topic comes up. Might be different if I had a friend who’s LGBTQ+, idk.
Bit if ya want us to quit whining around, than ya all gotta quit being fucking pieces of shit.
Have a day.
Can you fucking imagine if someone made a post saying “My gay friends barely even talk about being gay. What’s there to talk about? They’re attracted to the same gender, that’s literally all there is to it. Why are gay people on tumblr so obsessed with being gay?”
Like seriously can you fucking imagine?
Also the fact that OP got the definition of asexuality right in the beginning of the post and then used the wrong definition at the end just demonstrates that at least a chunk of these dipshits know damn well what asexuality actually is but continue to use and spread a definition they know is not true.
the following are concepts that i quickly learned my way around when growing up in fandom, but that seem to have fallen out of use recently. i’d like to propose a revival of…
NOTP: a pairing that, for whatever reason, you simply cannot stand. it can be because the ship repulses you morally, or because you hate one of the characters, or love them both but despise their dynamic – or just because looking at it makes you uncomfortable, for whatever reason.
different from labeling something a “bad ship” in that it implies an entirely personal preference.
calling a ship your NOTP informs others that you really, really, REALLY dislike it, while also acknowledging that you don’t know what other people’s reasons are for shipping it, or what interpretations they may have that makes it work for them.
a cool way of avoiding stuff you hate while also not morally condemning thousands of complete strangers for liking it.
squick: similar to notp, but goes for anything, not just romantic pairings. something you just don’t like, either for specific reasons or just because it irrationally repulses you.
not as severe as a trigger in the sense that it doesn’t cause any extreme and potentially harmful reactions – it’s just something you’d rather not see, because it grosses you the fuck out. and that’s okay.
decent people respect other people’s squicks, while also remembering it’s cool for other people to like things they personally are squicked by.
this works as long as everyone agrees not to be dicks and shove stuff in people’s faces in unwarranted ways.
crackship: a ship that just doesn’t make any sense. there’s absolutely no chance that these characters would ever end up together.
perhaps they’ve never interacted. perhaps they are on opposite sides of a war. perhaps one of them died a thousand years ago. for whatever reason, there’s zero possibility of this becoming canon.
still, you’d like to see how they’d romantically mesh, to explore their dynamic or a what-if scenario – or maybe they’re just two characters you really like to imagine smooching one another.
the fact that it isn’t and never will be canon doesn’t matter, and can even be part of the appeal. it certainly does not invalidate the ship’s existence. the ultimate form of doing something just for fun.
these words all help describe the cool concept of doing stuff you enjoy, while also realizing others may be doing things you hate, but not in order to victimize you personally. live and let live! give people the benefit of the doubt! it’s a good time. we should all try it.
Some words from Aaron and Justin about diversity in our storytelling!
VLD should take some notes
THe original post was so nice, of course assholes in Voltron fandom had to come along and ruin it.
Voltron doesn’t have to “Take some notes” at all. Voltron is a show full of racial diversity. It is a show that has a canon gay male character as a lead. It increased the number of women from the original canon and gave them all interesting roles to play.
Voltron also has a canonically disabled man whose story involved him facing discrimination, refusing to back down from it, and ending up as one of the defenders of the universe.
It is a diverse show period. It doesn’t need to learn anything from The dragon prince, which is a good show in its own right.
And while I see you crying wolf about “queerbaiting.” there was no queerbaiting in voltron. Shiro is still gay. There’s no queerbaiting. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact.
Also:
let me assure you that you once you post something like this:
You don’t have a single solitary right to ever complain about diversity after posting this bullshit. You support the continual harassment of Bex, an actual queer person, over a goddamn cartoon. Your opinions about diversity are invalid based on that alone.
You love how it treats her name like a swear word. And you think you have a right to ever pretend you give a damn about diversity.
Nah, you don’t.
Anyway, your voltron wank is based upon lies, a fundamental inability to understand that words have real meanings and you keep misusing them because your favorite characters and dumb crack ships didn’t become canon, and continual harassment of real life gay people (Bex isn’t the only one. Do you support the harrassmen t of david gaider and kevin wada? )
All because you don’t fucking understand the indention of queerbaiting.
Anyway, if you need to put Voltron down in order to praise another show, then you don’t truly enjoy the other show. You just want to be an asshole about the other fandom.
If you really want to support Undertale/ Toby Fox, PLEASE buy the official merch from fangamer.
actually as of february 2016, toby fox has changed his policy on selling fanworks as seen here, the tl:dr being merch like charms, stickers, prints, handmade items and fanbooks are okay to sell, but mass-produced items (like machine-made tshirts or plushies), things that break the UNDERTALE logo, or websites like redbubble are not
to quote toby himself:
When in doubt, if hand-made and few, it’s OK. If mass-produced and machine/factory made, it’s not OK.
