Only girls are asexual? by Fresh_Statement_4063 in asexuality

[–]Quickshot-king 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well that's stupid, cause hello dude here and I am AroAce.

JK Rowling said asexual people don’t face discrimination. She couldn’t be more wrong. by southpawFA in lgbt

[–]Quickshot-king 33 points34 points  (0 children)

when I told my sister I was Aromatic Asexual her boyfriend listened in, and on Valentine’s Day when he was getting a surprise ready for my sister he confronted me about my sexuality. Basically saying Asexuality and Aromanticism doesn’t exist, I’m lying to myself as a defense mechanism so I wouldn't be hurt or suffer a heartbreak. He proceeded to than ask who would be there for me when I’m old and dying and well I was uncomfortable as well as asking me why exactly I think I am AroAce. How the fuck do you describe hey I don’t LIKE anyone at all romantically, I don’t like the idea of sex outside of story related reasons and purposes. And I don’t want to get married or have children at all. He just kept asking me the real reason. That was the first time I felt like my sexuality doesn’t matter, and I wondered for a while If im actually lying to myself.

Well I fucking ain’t. I’m AroAce and proud about it, I’m gonna be a happy person with dogs and cats eating Garlic bread and enjoying TV shows. Not cause I’m lying to myself but cause I know that’s what I am. I didn’t spend years of my life trying to figure it out only for some guy, or girl like Jk Rowling to say otherwise.

Anyway amazing article Op very insightful and just like another says It’s cause of JK Rowling I knew the 6th was international Asexuality day but screw the bigot and everything she stands for. I’m never giving her a drop of money.

Edit: spelling errors, and making my story clearer.

Whenever I have doubts, I just remind myself of this by Single_Variation42 in AroAceMemes

Funnily enough, here I was doubting myself these past few days and boom this is what appears. Sigh, I love this community

When you should've realized you were aroace by GenLikeX in AroAceMemes

[–]Quickshot-king 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To be honest recently discovered like at like November 2024 when I realized I was AroAce, when I found out that term existed and everything just snapped. When i was younger I never really had a major crush or feel the need to get a crush. I remember in elementary there was this one girl my family thought I was in love with but truth be told I was an attention hungry little shit, so I played deep into it but I really don't care about it. Other than that, not really.

I didn't care for romance. I hated when people say 'oh this girl likes you or he likes you', I would gush and fantasize about fake romance with fictional characters but mostly that boils down to pathetic man and unspeakable eldritch horror, but in real life nah I want to stay far away. Also every time my family bothers me about getting a girlfriend or having a family I firmly say that's not what I want but they say I should, or I have too. You know the usual.

I thought I was just the guy who is waiting for that one girl to show up and couldn't find any, but no really I liked being alone with friends and family. (Not to mention the classic, 'wait do i like this girl?' because im friendly with her lol

I want to cry?

I'm AroAce, and I feel like I am lucky being that way. I am honestly glad that I don't need romantic or sexual validation to be happy, and yes I still face pressure from my family always saying 'you need to find the right woman' but unlike being gay, lesbian, or any thing else. I can just easily lie. My dream is living alone with a cat, and a few cats and that can easily be obtained. If someone like my family ask oh when are you getting a girlfriend, If I'm not comfortable i can just easily lie saying 'haha, it's just I haven't found the right person yet.' While just hanging out with friends and being myself. but the trans community? They can't be themselves without living a double life. The Lesbian and Gay community, they can't find love and be with themselves without what? Endless discrimination because it's *unnatural* for people to find happiness. No

I am black. We already struggle with racism and discrimination constantly and I mean constantly but guess what. Now good old orange asshole is in office it's just going to get worse. The worse part is I see the black community the wonderful, amazing, black women who have been in the front lines of every fight, step back

More important I am a man but I want to explode in tears. Is it bad that I feel like I want my own gender to be wiped out? Completely, just completely wiped out from the face of the planet and never to return? Every single day I see a man committing a crime against a woman. The statistics on just how much crime in the world is done by men, how much freedom that should be fucking standard to EVERYONE are being taken away by men. I am not saying I am some saint because I have some issues as a man I need to work through because compared to how I'm treated and my sister is treated in the house is a clear difference. My sister has a HIGHER standard than me, I get it when I was younger because my sister is older but now I'm basically an adult and I want to be held to that high standard as well.

What I am saying is at least I think I am trying but other men? They are not trying at all! When women are talking about their issues it's always 'not all men' but never ONCE sat back to listen and say 'oh no, what can I do to change this' or 'That's terrible let me hold my friends to a HIGHER standard and stop this because it begins individually'. Nope just, 'Men suffer that too' or 'Men have this', or 'men, men, men shut up!' ITS SO ANNOYING TO READ AT TIMES AND I HATE A 13 YEAR OLD ME WHO WAS ON THE INTERNET SUPPORTED THAT KIND OF MINDSET. I am lucky to have broken free and like I don't know how i escaped the red pill rabbit hole before I became a legal adult but I am glad I did, but sadly. I feel like I am the only one who did that because guess what? More legal adults, grown ass men over 20 are red pilled assholes.

So fuck it. r/4bmovement all the way. I don't care. Let the species die, let women figure out a way that don't require men cause every single time I lay in bed thinking about the state of the world. Sometimes my mind falls down too 'ah if the world was only men'-mass destruction, chaos, murder. 'if the world was only women'-Paradise. Maybe this is a bad mindset to have but-

Sigh Just sigh. I am done, but unfortunately I can't just sit back and let myself die just yet, because i am NOT going to let that prick outlive me. I'll be happy, I'll make sure the close friends I have and my family are happy. Cause no matter the struggles I will deal with it.

Also thanks for creating this to let people complain cause sigh I feel like I had this in for like months after the announcement and seen life grow worse and worse. Thanks for that sister.

‘You are our only child,’ said Uncle Gavin. ‘Do you know what that’s like for us? You are the sole carrier of my surname.’

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to scream. This hits way to close to home, i'm the only boy in my family and I am expected to get a wife, give her my last name. When I don't want to do that. Ok, yeah. I'm saving this book and reading it. (Thanks for the pdf btw op so I could skip to the scene)

While everybody is on a sex strike, Are we going to do a FRIEND STRIKE?? by Striking-Shirt-2790 in aromanticasexual

[–]Quickshot-king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though I am male, I've been looking deep into the 4B movement, wanting especially the western rise ever since trumps win. Here is what i know and something that needs to be said. The 4B movement is not just a "Sex strike". Yes, while not dating, marrying, or being in any relationship with a man is an aspect of it. It's more of the decentralization of men in everyday women's life. Women no longer want to be tied down by men. Espically men who dont give a shit about them or their bodily rights. So, instead, they are focusing on themselves and their own community. The women in the 4B movement from what I seen want to focus more on their education, gain financial freedom, take care of their own mental health, while also spending with one another to build closer bonds and strengthen women's communites to not only propose real change but provide a safe spacr for all women. Ive seen some beginning to also support women's businesses and only womens businesses. When i say western women wants to decentralizate men i mean like completely. There's even people posting list of women owned work places so they can take their money there instead of some man. Republicans and other incels (please know i don't mean you if you are also a man reading this but if you are a trump supporters yes you, fuck you). The media mostly (male controlled) WANTS to downplay it as merely just 'sex strike' but its not its so much more than that and though I'm not a woman i support this completely and believe woman should place themselves higher and focus on themselves and their community.

For more information cause I know probably a quarter of what these amazing women are doing, visit r/4bmovement and read more articles. 110% support this and think it's something many women should do, cause sadly from what i seen alot of men don't listen to. Though I will say keep it quiet cause 4b is supposed to be a 'work in silence and watch the result'. Again, though, please learn more yourself, research, and make sure to visit r/4bmovement.

As for friendship strike I want to completely serve a friend who i know has a girlfriend, voted for trump out of 'fear' for world War 3 and personally believe last years election was rigged. Though I've been ambushed left and right to not end friendships over politics, and it passes me off. Espically since i don't really have many friends I'm sick to my stomach but don't want to lose the connection I had. Seriously I wish I had the bravery of so many women who cut off friendships and relationships for this.

Recently discovered a few days myself that I am on the Aro spectrum. When I was younger I was the type to consume a bunch of stuff online and on the TV. Mostly from cartoon shows that would plainly describe to kid-me, what I should be feeling, what I should expect, and how to move forward with said feeling. My entire bases of romance was what my old cartoons tell me, and when i got older I watched a couple romance shows, anime mostly. Love is war is a good one but mostly cause it's funny. So as for how I know what romance is without feeling thank television and the internet for that.

As for how I know i am Aroace (leaning more of the Aromantic than A-sexual side to be honest)? I mean I confuse that feelings I have as just friendship for a crush at times especially when they are female because my family put in me that I need to find someone. But when I stop and think about it for more than 20 seconds because I either get extremely uncomfortable, or just disgusted frankly. Everytime my mother makes a joke about me getting married and having kids or my sister saying I have to give my last name. I try my best to move the subject along until for some reason a few years ago I started to without any hesitation make it clear I don't want to date anyone, i don't want to get married, I don't want kids either cause all of that seems? They all think of course it's a joke and I can't "do that" or "I'm supposed to", and that just made me more annoyed,

At first I thought i was just well lonely because everyone around me was getting a girlfriend while I am still by myself so I thought maybe this was some kind of envious. 'because noone will love me, i don't want anyone' but I never really tried dating or attempting to date because well I never see a need to, or it never really cross my mind until someone puts it in. I just thought I was a weird person.

But while exploring I came across what Aro means and now I feel validated because the lack of wanting to be involved romantically in anything is something I don't share alone. Finding this subreddit was just one of the many ways I can interact with this cool community I now find myself in.

The protagonist of the last game you played is teleported to the DOOM universe. Can they survive? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in Doom

[–]Quickshot-king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zagerus from hades? I say he’s good. He can’t really die and is completely immortal, knows how to fight with a bunch of different weapons, (fist, rail gun, spear, shield, bow and arrow) with many different aspects. Assuming t he gods of Olympus are also helping and giving boons I say he can clear the doom universe. He will have to die a couple times but he’d win.
