You're all idiots except for me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

But I still recognize that there's other shit out there. People were saying the exact same thing about asexuals years ago--that they didn't exist, were just attention whoring, they'd find someone they want to have sex with, etc.

then that's not equivalent to what we're saying about demisexuals. the point isn't that there aren't really people out there who fit the description; it's that it's pointless to give it a label and treat it as a "sexuality" or a movement when seriously, it's not that uncommon, and chances are slim to none you're gonna get systematically "othered", demonized, or even misinterpreted for not being interested in having sex with people you haven't already been dating/friends with.

Nice how you ignored the overall statement.

Difference between interested in having sex with and actual physical attraction, tho, btw.

and tbh, i'd probably be able to appreciate the existence of the term "demisexual" as just, like, a shorthand, could be useful for dating or social sites or whatev, if it wasn't for the fact that the way it's used, talked about, and defended is all tied up in a sucky and kind of ugly understanding of sexuality and relationships.
