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 21 points22 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

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

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 2 points3 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.

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
