Demisexuals and their even more ridiculous ilk tho. I don't remember all the sexualities trumblr has made up any more.

ayrt

okay i forgot about the demis and grey asexys

those would be the worst

at least ftm being an actual thing implies that for every yay-many claiming it on tumblr, there've got to be a few who are serious about it.

smh at anyone who talks about "demisexual support" or "coming out as demisexual".

[(Anonymous)]

demisexuals actually a thing tho

i agree that its been taken to ridiculous lengths by tumblr but there is a genuine thing that fits the demisexual description (ie. only experiences sexual attraction as a subset of strong romantic feelings) and for the most part it falls under the asexual label

hating them doesnt make them not exist

[(Anonymous)]

it exists

it's called nearly everyone

[(Anonymous)]

nah

there are a lot of people who can have one without the other

Your sexuality is who you're attracted to, not how much or in what way. That part crosses all sexualities and doesn't make you special, let alone require a label.

[(Anonymous)]

and literally no one gives a shit.

the demisexual label is utterly pointless because it's not a sexuality, it's literally "i don't experience attraction/love at first sight" aka "i'm like most people but being normal is uncool so i'm going to use the modern day equivalent of "i'm not like these other sluts""
and even if you don't use it to mean that it's still not an actual identity that absolutely requires a label. no one in the history of ever has been oppressed for being "demisexual", especially when "don't bang random people off the street" is a big thing in most major religions

besides, it has shit-all to do on the "asexual spectrum." it's way more logical to put it on the sexual spectrum

[(Anonymous)]

No, that's not how demisexual works. People who aren't demisexual are going to experience physical attraction from the get-go. That's just how it works. Not acting on it is what's different. Demisexuals literally do not experience any physical attraction until a strong emotional bond is formed.

The only one slut-shaming is you because you can't stand the idea that you have a degree of physical attraction to people who may want to date.

you don't actually know any people in real life, do you?

i really don't get all these ace 'sexualities' that all boil down to "i only want to have sex sometimes and with certain people"

y'all know that wanting to have sex means you aren't asexual, right?

[(Anonymous)]

that's

most people? like yeah you can find someone hot or get a boner or whatever but there's a difference between 'this person is hot' and 'i want to actively pursue having sex with this person.'

and some people do fuck on the first date or try to pick up girls on the street but that's not most people.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the idea is that you don't even find someone hot or get a boner. You just don't think about it until you get to know them.

demisexuality is not a fucking real sexuality. it's a slut-shaming way of wannabe snowflake girls striking back at the oversexualized media they assume represents real people because they're sheltered idiots with no real life experience. i wouldn't care about all this if people kept it to themselves, but they have tried to co-op the struggles of real LGBT people. and the fact this has permeated so much of fandom from the way people enjoy canons they like, to art, to fanfiction, and our discourse pisses me off so much.

sexuality is about who you are attracted to, not how much or how little. if you are a "demisexual" who is only attracted to men after you get to know them better, guess what? You Are Fucking Straight. The fact you want a ring on it and a special candlelit honeymoon before you feel invested enough to have sex doesn't change the fact that you are attracted to men. if you are someone who is attracted to the same sex/gender as yourself or both, then congratulations you actually are queer even if you are also an idiot for assuming being a demisexual is part of that.

even asexuality does not count as a sexuality if it is are not the "have no attraction to anyone whatsoever" definition because again, sexuality is about WHO YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO, not the degree to which you feel attraction or sexual desire.

being demisexual does not negatively impact your life in any meaningful way that isn't a fabrication of your own mind. you are not shunned, threatened with death, or told by millions of people in your own country or around the world that your soul will burn in hell. you do not have public policies designed to disenfranchise you, deny you basic human rights, or make what you were born as a criminal offense that can get you prison time or DEATH.

shut the fuck up about being demisexual like it puts you on par with people who really do suffer in this world when the most you have to deal with for being one is that you might get annoying questions or a mocking word or two.

fucking thank you

if you're straight, it's okay, stop wanting to be oppressed because tumblr made you think it's va way to act like a self righteous asshole about dumb fandom shit

[(Anonymous)]

bless you based anon tbh i feel this applies to asexuals as well nothing aggravates me more than an asexual claiming they suffer the same level of oppression as a black queer transgirl does

no one is oppressing you for not having sex they're not going to beat you on the street for being asexual they'll likely give you a weird look and move on because WHO FUCKING CARES

[(Anonymous)]

listen. anon. i used to think demisexual was a thing too.

but "demisexuality" was LITERALLY made up by some kid on an rp forum. it does not exist. it is not a legitimate thing. it was fucking made up.

say it with me: demisexuality was made up by some kid on a forum. it does not exist.

and shakespeare made up a ton of words we still use today

words are made up all the time, that doesn't make a word not valid

otherwise you can't use words like assassin anymore

[(Anonymous)]

thank you for being hilarious

[(Anonymous)]

And their insistence on being queer. You're not queer if the only "unusual" thing about you is you're demisexual. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm asexual and all this demi/grey shit makes me extremely embarrassed, i don't want people to associate me with that

i don't even consider myself queer, it's so dumb, being ace has no impact on my life whatsoever besides people asking annoying questions sometimes

not everybody has to be queer, it's ok, you are special in other ways that isn't related to your sexual preference. it's ok.

Same. The extent of oppression I feel for being a complete sex-indifferent asexual is when my step mother asks me "When are you going to get married and have a baby?" And even that is more of a minor annoyance than anything harmful to my psyche.

I get so embarrassed when people try to use asexuality (or worse when it's demisexuality/grey-asexuality) as a special snowflake club membership.

I guess the one and only thing that's truly depressing about being ace (for me) is the lack of committed companionship. I want someone to share my life with, but there's a hurdle of finding someone compatible with me and comfortable with my lack of interest in sex to get passed.

[(Anonymous)]

well your point's being proven as we speak

[(Anonymous)]

This thread proved that demisexuals are, in fact, the biggest "special snowflake" syndrome people on both DW and Tumblr. Thank you for the entertaining, yet excruciating read, anon.

ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

I did not expect this to prove my point so nicely. You're welcome and I'm sorry.
