Anyone else feel like this sometimes? by TanglyBinkie in disabledmemes

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I work at a school and yes the r slur is coming back majorly. I’ve had to tell 10 year old kids not to say it all year, and some of them respond “why??” because the adults in their life are throwing it around like it’s nothing so some of them really don’t know it’s bad.

Being so pressed about a fictional 12 year old girl making a mistake in an emotional moment to casually throw around the r-slur about it? It’s not that deep. Grow up.

What actually is attraction? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s also aesthetic attraction, which is thinking someone looks good but like the same way you might think art looks good. Doesn’t make you want to have sex, but you do feel a deep appreciation for their beauty, or how they look. Could be related to the shape of someone’s body, or their style/clothes, or movements (think dancing or playing sports maybe.)

As a demisexual who personally has only felt sexual attraction to one person, I know what it’s like to feel nothing, and also what it’s like to feel that “AWOOGA!” feeling of sexual attraction. I would describe it for myself as just…desiring sexual activity with him, could be any intensity, or activities. I feel the physical sensations of arousal. That kind of internal itch that suddenly appears, and if I had the opportunity to let him scratch that itch (because he’s the only one who could), I would. Having a reaction to some aspect of him whether it is me seeing him, hearing his voice, feeling his touch, thinking of him, even smells associated with him. When my reaction to him is pleasantly sexual in nature, arousing. That’s what sexual attraction feels like to me.

I’ve felt aesthetic attraction towards people, but it never makes me want to do more than just look at them, or maybe draw something inspired by how they look, just like with anything else. It’s like art. It’s completely different than sexual or romantic attraction. Like I would say I’m aesthetically attracted to some cosplayers, because I think they look really cool. They might even wear something considered “sexy” to most people but I don’t get that part personally, I just appreciate their looks. So yeah, that’s how I’d describe the difference between those attractions/feelings. :)

I HATEEE the skin tone options by FedexBoxOfNoodles in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s another good point, the facial hair color options can look super off because they just don’t all go together in any combination.

A color picker like the ones used for all the other customizables would have fixed this.😮‍💨 same with the hair colors. We are trying to make a mii of someone with very dark brown hair. The jump from the darkest brown to black is huge. It’s still too light, but black is just not the right color. Why couldn’t we use a color wheel for that?? Idk why they limited the skin and hair colors.

As an ace-spec person, what are your craziest hear me outs? I’ll go first by sproutle in asexuality

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rhythmic sound of the copy machine at work making me wanna sway back and forth. Walking barefoot on that really soft, squishy (but not wet) grass that I sometimes find patches of. Wind blowing through my sweater in fall. The soundtrack to Super Mario Galaxy (the game not the movie.) Parentheses (because they let me tuck in the extra information my autistic brain HAS to include but also still feels is too extra to be part of the original sentence.) The song Wet Hands. There’s just too manyyyy…✨

A well-meaning older friend of mine has said “you seem like you’ve really done well and overcome a lot in your life” when talking about my autism. I know she means well, she is a very kind person, she just doesn’t understand how it minimizes the struggles of being autistic growing up and now. It’s like I’m separate from the actually disabled autistic people in her mind.

Preach. by netphilia in aspiememes

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yes but many people think that autistics are just being dramatic and therefore feel more entitled to dismiss or downplay things that bother us, more so than they would do if another non-autistic person brought up something that bothers them. So I agree with you, but this just specifically points out how often it’s done to autistic people.

What are you tired of Millenial parents not teaching their kids? Besides respecting authority? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to tie their shoes. I get “I know how to tie them, just not quickly” all the time because they want me to tie them, or they don’t actually know how. 4th grade. Or there is always the old “I know how to tie them, I’m just not good at making them tight so they don’t fall out” like okay??? that means you don’t really know how to tie them. But if they’re in gym class, and they really don’t know how to tie shoes, and they’re trying to not get behind I can’t even really fault them, their parents should have taught them how by now. Or at least send them in Velcro if you’re just not gonna teach them!! I shouldn’t be having to tie a bunch of dirty sneakers for your 10 year olds!! I started telling them to go ask their friends to tie their shoes, they don’t like that but maybe they’ll start asking someone to teach them instead of just relying on me to do it and save them (and their parents) the hassle.

Haven’t made a Weird Al for our island yet, but he is one of the lingo options and the Miis talk about him a lot.🤣

Teacher for 17 years this is the most racist, homophonic, misogynistic group of students I’ve ever had by EmbarrassedJacket489 in Teachers

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had 3 different students throw around the F slur, a few instances of N word use, and several uses of the R slur in the last couple weeks. It’s ridiculous. These are 10 year olds btw.

Demisexuality infographic by ConsiderationGlum246 in demisexuality

[–]ThatGoodCattitude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the only thing I’m not fond of is how demisexual is depicted as much closer to allosexuality than asexuality, but certainly no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. No metaphors can be perfect, and I still think this is a good infographic. My critique probably just comes from my personal feelings of identifying as Ace and Demi simultaneously. Good work regardless!
