rpanons | You sound fat

Rundown:

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

The fact that some people use a term inappropriately doesn't mean that what the term is meant to describe isn't real.

It's interesting you compare it to overused terms like "asexual" and "trigger," because people generally don't act like those things are not real; they instead criticize people who use them inappropriately.

I think the "lol demisexuality isn't real" thing is mostly based in the unfortunate fact that demisexuality happens to coincide with the bullshit Victorian "madonna" side of the madonna/whore dichotomy. So people get up in arms about the moral implications and how anyone who identifies as demi must be looking down on those gross people who fuck around with anyone, when ... no? Maybe some demisexuals do. I've never seen anyone who actually identifies as demi say that, just people who are complaining about tumblrina demis claiming that that's what it always means.

Some people really are asexual the vast majority of the time and with regards to the vast majority of people, but are capable of experiencing sexual attraction within close emotional relationships, and that's what "demi" was actually coined to reflect.

I have seen far too many demis going "I just don't understand sexual attraction without love, I mean, so weird!" or whining about how oppressed they are as demis to assume that people who are using the term are using it just as a descriptor and not as a tone-deaf value judgment.

oh give it up. "demisexual" was a label created solely so hets could claim queer points.

Not wanting to have sex with someone until you have a deep emotional bond with them isn't a sexuality. It's at most a preference you put on your dating profile, and sure it's something that should be respected but it's not so unique and different that it deserves a sexuality label.

sexuality is about sexual preferences, as in who you're attracted to. either you like boys, you like girls, or you like both. (or you like everything. or sheep. or computers. idk). what you do within that sexuality, whether it's being a nymphomaniac or waiting until marriage, that's not actually part of your 'sexual identity'. that's part of your personality. if you want to wait until you know someone before having sex with them, that literally has dick all to do with your gender preferences, which is what *sexual labels are for.

actually it was invented by a teenage girl playing a mary sue on a RP forum, not even shitting you

it's literally a pretend label that was coined for the sole purpose of making somebody's self-insert more special
