You sound fat

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. 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.

Thank you for your response (and not, for some bizarre reason, implying that I was lying, like a previous anon). I have done some Googling and some reading now and I'm seeing it from your point of view. I honestly had no idea people thought of it as a LGBTQ identity on the same level as homosexuality. I had just read the description and some light discussion on it in the past, realized it sounded like me, and moved on. It's really unfortunate that people who use this descriptor and this one only are elbowing into spaces where they don't belong. I found this faq, which explains why asexuality is not a spectrum (something I also wasn't aware anyone claimed) and it certainly makes sense to me: http://noyourenotmogai.tumblr.com/faq

I still continue to identify with this label because of the history I mentioned, but I'm not going to present it to others as freely as I have in the past. I doubt that most people who are using that term to describe themselves had the kind of long-term experience with it that I had.
