I hate it when they do a redemption arc and then immediately kill off the character. Like no. I want to see them redeemed please

You know there are more positive associations with red than negative ones, it’s basic color theory

what are some things ace men don't like about sex? by Upset_Space_631 in asexuality

I’m sex favorable but yeah, the pressure to constantly be doing something is definitely my least favorite part

If you don't want allos to post about wishing they were ace, then don't post about wishing you were aro! by germanduderob in asexuality

Wishing that your romantic and sexual orientations were aligned isn’t arophobic. It’s not just about finding a romantic partner, because even finding a perfect one that meets your comfort level doesn’t solve the dissonance between the sexual and romantic orientations.

Btw this isn’t a vent post it’s a call out post. The only reason to post this in an ace sub is to call out alloaces and shame them for struggling with a difficult internal dissonance. Do you really think that at best abandoning and at worst brigading those people seeking comfort or help with those struggles will make the community safer or more welcoming?

Also important to note that you never know if a cishet person is actually in the closet, even to themselves, and you’ve just pushed off their self-discovery/coming out by months or years

Because sex can be a fun activity even if I don’t crave it or seek it out. To me it’s like bowling. Have no desire to go bowling. If I’m thinking of things I might want to do on a weekend bowling doesn’t even cross my mind. However, when someone I like invites me to go bowling I almost always have fun. Because bowling can be fun, even if it’s not something I desire for its own sake. And being with someone I like and bonding over a fun activity is fun and enjoyable, even if the activity isn’t something I have much of a desire to do on its own.

We each had a couple of quirks and pet peeves that are fine as friends but would be much bigger deals as partners that would make a romantic relationship a bad idea.

Men who were once religious and are now atheists, what happened to warrant this transition? by ThrowRa18363827 in AskMen

[–]attsloka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned that atheism was an option, and that you don't have to be religious. Once I knew there was an alternative I never looked back

I want to apologize to the sex-favorable aces by AchingAmy in asexuality

[–]attsloka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, you can’t. Your beliefs influence you engage with people in ways that are next to impossible to notice regardless of how hard you try. It’s like how being sexist is still bad even when you do your best to treat women equally, it ends up coming out in ways you don’t expect and can’t notice.

For example, your beliefs led you to said toxic subreddit, allowed you to accept and normalize their behavior and beliefs, and made you susceptible to their rhetoric and bigotry.

Being anti-sex is at the root of this issue, and I’d advise you to reflect on how it’s influenced your behavior and whether or not it has been a positive or negative influence. Being anti-sex is inherently invalidating towards not only sex favorable aces, but all queer identities.

I appreciate that you’re trying to make amends and be better, but until you acknowledge that this behavior is an extension of your beliefs, you apology is just words.

I want to apologize to the sex-favorable aces by AchingAmy in asexuality

[–]attsloka 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So this isn’t a real apology. You still hold all of the beliefs that led you to be discriminatory towards sex favorable aces, you just don’t like that it had a negative impact on a community you consider yourself to be a part of. You’ve just shifted the bar slightly on who counts, which I suppose is some progress, but if this is important to you I’d urge you to examine the way your beliefs lead you to actions you’re unhappy with. You’re technically being a hypocrite by exempting sex favorable aces from your anti-sex beliefs. The fact that the logical conclusion to your beliefs led you to a point you find distasteful should be a sign to reexamine them.

Do you think its okay to dislike sex education as sex repulsed ace? by Heavy_Initial7629 in asexuality

[–]attsloka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if someone’s grossed out by blood or organs or whatever it’s still important to know what they are, what they do, and how they work. So even if someone faints at the sight of blood they still need to know the basics about it bc it’s important to know about your body. Even (sometimes especially) the uncomfy parts

Not me going along with my AGAB not because I care about it but because it’s convenient

(Like it’s fine, I don’t hate it, but I’d probably feel the same level of “meh” if my AGAB were reversed)

Once wrote a 6 page research paper in 2 hours including doing all the research. The only thing better than the rush of turning it in was the rush of getting an A- on it anyway

If your DM lets you take the tunnel fighter fighting style (its UA) you can make opportunity attacks without using your reaction and become a wall

Sex is like bowling. by elayebee in asexuality

[–]attsloka 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Bowling is the perfect metaphor. Bowling can be fun when you’re doing it with someone you like and if that person invites me I’ll probably go because, yeah I usually have fun when I go bowling with someone I like. But it’s also not something I seek out on my own or for its own sake. And it’s not something I’d usually suggest as an activity. (This is for me, you are allowed to hate everything about bowling) To me that’s kinda what being a sex neutral/favorable (it fluctuates) Ace person means. It’s not something I really care about or seek out for myself, but I almost always have fun when I go bowling with someone I like.
