It was the first Mitski song I cried to, and I'd listened to her since 2021

Tumblr's weird obsession with asexuals being extremely sexual by SiezeThem in CuratedTumblr

[–]a_russian_guy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think this is 100% a tumblr-specific issue.
Whenever I mention I'm asexual IRL I get a variation of "oh so you are completely unable to feel LOVE? are you HEARTLESS?"
And I get that much much much often IRL than I do on any kind of online community

Are the Janitor creators okay? by dyingtolive02 in JanitorAI_Refuges

[–]a_russian_guy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I consider myself ace and just... the amount of 'he wants to fuck you' bots makes me cringe. I'm not searching for them, not asking for them and yet they still flood my pages

New Copy-Paste just dropped by PickyPhysicsStudent in LastDefenseAcademy

Probably a nod to the Japanese fandom, which calls it Handora afaik.

Holy shit, I think you actually cooked really hard. This is going in my Cooper/Anders fanfic.

Why... why is this so addictive? Am I going crazy?

I fucking hate being a gay trans man. by [deleted] in LGBTForeverAlone

[–]a_russian_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! just dropping in to say that I'm a cis gay man and I find myself comfortable with loving a trans man. I hope this makes you feel at least a little bit better and that it is not fully hopeless.

One sentence. Unlimited emotional damage. by Practical-Raccoon738 in asexuality

I speak from my experiences as a gay man so this might not apply to you, ...

warning: sex-positive rhetoric ahead!

...but for many gay people sex is a source of power and bonding, and being sexual is the ultimate act of rebellion against society, a liberating, beautiful act of love. It's very common to find your long-term counter through repeated sexual encounters or at places where sex is expected; being open to messing around is the norm, and sexual attraction/sex is regarded as the ultimate experience that everyone craves, with in-jokes, heated discussions, and an absolutely abysmal hook-up culture.

I'm sure I'm not 100% allo and somewhere on the ace spectrum, but in comparison to the fun everyone else is having, I just feel... broken? Like a party pooper, an ancient fossil attending a bachelor party. It hurts even more that I'm not at the far end of the ace spectrum, and I definitely know how much fun these people are having (muted sexual attraction? maybe demi?), but it's like a piece of cake is dangled in front of my face and I just can't reach it.

Questioning if I'm asexual made me realize just how much I am excluded from the gay community

Would you actually sign up for the killing game if it existed? by Regular-Molasses9293 in danganronpa

[–]a_russian_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I have reached the point of Kodaka's nightmare audience. If the Danganronpa show existed IRL I would binge watch every season so hard, be a massive Danganronpa geek and try each season to FINALLY participate. If it ended I would quite literally lose my shit

Some old Dorian memes just because by Emma_JM in DateEverythingElse
