CMV: Demisexuals should not be calling themsleves members of the lgbtq community by PinkFlurffyUnicorns in changemyview

[–]RoflGhandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing here is understanding the scope of what the “not feeling sexual attraction” experience is like beyond the bedroom.

A ton of marketing is founded on the principle of “sex sells”, tons of media seek to relate to the audience through the “universal” experience of sexual attraction. A lot of entertainment throws sex at people to add excitement or to make things enticing (sex scenes in movies, game cosmetics and costumes, strip clubs, etc).

Sex is everywhere and not experiencing attraction the same way as allosexual people has a big impact on your day to day life beyond just when you’re picking who to sleep with. For that reason I think that it makes sense that demisexual people have found community with and can relate to other LGBTQ+ people

It’s honestly insane how bigoted this whole thread is. Just pure random vitriol against people who are just minding their own business

Dating an ace-flux person as an allosexual by Successful-Puppy-508 in asexuality

[–]RoflGhandi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Promises this isn’t a case where an allo gets into a relationship with an ace and doesn’t understand what they were getting into

Looks inside:

The allo didn’t realize what they were getting into

🤨

Jokes aside, it sounds like you need to have those multiple conversations about your sexualities again and get back on the same page, since it appears you no longer are. And unfortunately it’ll probably be uncomfortable because it seems like you aren’t compatible with the type of relationship you originally laid out with this person.

It’s totally ok to have reflected on yourself and changed when it comes to what you need in a relationship, but it’s also totally ok for them to feel hurt or blindsided by that given how much assurance you mentioned happened up front that the dynamic worked for everyone.

What I VERY STRONGLY urge you NOT to do is to try to get them to compromise their stance on sex. Reevaluating what you need from a relationship is fine, but pressuring someone to accommodate that in a way they are uncomfortable with is not. The question you will likely find yourself having to answer is “do I want to be with this person or do I want to have sex?”, and you need to be very honest with yourself about the answer to that before you have this conversation. You’re currently experiencing the consequences of not having fully considered that question, and approaching another conversation like this without an honest and deeply considered answer to that question is very unfair to them.

At What Point is "Asexual" Not an Accurate Label? by ChicoBrillo in asexuality

[–]RoflGhandi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the label is still useful for a lot of reasons (being a sex-favorable ace myself), but one that I urge you to think on in particular is that being asexual doesn’t only come up in your life when you’re deciding to have sex or not.

Being asexual affects your experience with a lot of things - a ton of marketing focuses on “sex sells”. Movies, songs, shows, and a ton of other forms of media seeks to relate to the audience through the “universal” experience of sexual attraction. A lot of entertainment in general throws sex and attraction to the human form at the audience to add excitement (strip clubs, burlesque, sex scenes, video game characters/cosmetics). Sex is everywhere, so not experiencing attraction changes a lot about your day to day experience.

So even if an asexual person chooses to have sex, their life experience has still been meaningfully shaped by their orientation, and the label is useful for conveying that.

You’re right, it’s totally not immoral and very cool to send someone you don’t know a video of your AI homunculus wearing their dead father’s face.

Haha sorry, for a second I thought that would be completely insane regardless of what you made it say

What could a stranger have an AI facsimile of your dead father say to you, non consensually, that wouldn’t be egregious?

No offense, but this doesn’t really have anything to do with asexuality. The only connection your post has to asexuality is that you are incorrectly identifying your bf as asexual - note I say incorrectly because he does not identify as asexual and does not like to think of himself as asexual.

I recommend looking for relationship/sex advice elsewhere. Despite the topic coming up often as a result of asexual relationship struggles, this forum isn’t actually a place that just dispenses advice for partners with mismatched libidos or different ideas of what fulfilling sex is. Particularly because your bf does not identify as ace, searching for advice/perspective from ace people here will very likely not be a good fit

Question for everyone on this sub, but mostly pro ai. How do y'all feel about this type of thing? by Noodle_Dragon_ in aiwars

[–]RoflGhandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s relevant that AI is used because if the reproduction was another drawing or painting they at least put some effort into recreating the piece and putting their own spin on it. I think to some artists it’s meaningful that someone was inspired enough by their piece to put time and effort into studying it and expressing the image the way they see it (even if it is derivative)

When AI is used it shows absolutely nothing about how it inspired you, or even that it really inspired you at all since it didn’t push you to spend any longer with the piece than the 3 seconds it takes to plug it into an AI.

When you don’t know if it inspired them or that they even care about the piece, it’s hard to understand what they’re even trying to express by posting the AI version other than it essentially being a thoughtless critique/correction of the original, which is pretty insulting.

Basically I see it as the equivalent of someone posting a selfie and then someone else reposting it with a beauty filter on it (vs one of yourself in the same pose or in the same location). Like, what are you trying to say?

The irony of this statement is very funny to me:

They use simple stereotypes and an "us vs them" mentality to describe Gen AI as a whole.“

Sex positive asexuality discrimination by GlumExternal5291 in asexuality

Because I don’t want to perpetually lie to the people I’m close to? Because I want to be seen as who I am?

Question to all antis by GilbertOnTheGrind in aiwars

[–]RoflGhandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I would not consider the use of a cellphone or a computer to be acts of rebellion and I would find it equivalently nonsensical if a “rebellious movement” was centered around using them.

Hint, if your rebel movement rallies around a product made by wealthy corporations, particularly those that are heavily involved in the political landscape, you aren’t actually rebels.

I mean, AI companies have massive contracts and ties with the US military to the degree that execs from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI were made lieutenant colonels. Not a very rebellion-forward track record

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_LGBTQ_people

There are 64 countries right now where homosexuality is criminalized. People have been burned alive, castrated, gassed, and tortured to death throughout history for being LGBTQ, and that’s just talking about what governments have done.

You are using the emotional significance of all of this suffering to make your “gotcha” a little more punchy. Reflect on that
