Everything moderators do right now has to be discussed and agreed upon by multiple team members, and long ban lengths need to be reviewed and approved by even more staff. The community complaint was that this can lead to too much time being taken to remove obvious bad actors from threads. We'll be cutting some red tape in that regard.

[BisMarckie]

I wish the mods would go on strike or something due to their terrible working conditions.

SweetNicole must feel dead inside, it reminds me of that thread when they resigned... Wrong idea to bring her in imo, everything she touch turns into a non-event. You're not thinking tactical enough trans-era.

Alright, I'm happy to say that all of you have been recruited for the heist. Your first task is to break into the Louvre, but your goal is not any of the paintings or artwork inside. If you can remove the Mona Lisa from its casing, you should find something written on the back that I am told will lead us to the next clue.

Try not to set off any alarms, and let's try not to get anybody killed.

This team is far too big, this is a one person job with maybe a support man.

It's like they've never run a bl...er I mean, I have no idea about any of this thievery stuff.

I identify as a tank and I don't know if that user knows, but that tank slowly made a consent action, by slightly tilting the gun as it was surrounded by very hot dark tanks. Such behavior is normal. Tanks do know how to express when they don't consent, as illustrated in the following video:



Human was engaging tank with some S&M. When it got too rough, tank rescinded consent.


I wish Octolings didn't try to tell us tanks how to behave or what our culture is supposed to be.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/asexuality-and-discrimination.155740/

Note: This is based on personal opinions and while I am asexual, my experiences and opinions do not necessarily speak for the Asexual Community.

I wanted to make this thread because I wanted to talk about how asexual discrimination occurs. There is usually confusion at the idea and I wanted to give a personal view into why I think it occurs as well as some examples I have experienced.

1. Refusal to acknowledge Asexuality as an orientation

Let's start this by defining what Asexuality means. Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It is not a choice (i.e. celibacy or abstinence) but an orientation.

Now, I'm fine with most people initially not familiar with asexuality. After all, only 1% of the world is asexual according to statistics (though people guess the number might be higher). What is significantly less cool is people then trying to find anything to say I'm not asexual. The most common I hear is "Oh, you just haven't met the right person yet." Which is annoying to me because I'm like 99% positive I won't suddenly grow a boner at one person. But there's a lot of things thrown out such as me being gay or bi and not admitting it, saying I'm just trying to justify my virginity (which is...lol I lost that years ago), or implying I'm mentally or hormonaly imbalanced. There is just this refusal to believe that someone can just not be sexually attracted to things.

2. Romance

I don't think people realize how sex plays an important roles in romance and relationships. Even the option to not have sex plays into it. What people don't understand is that asexuality is a spectrum and while people like me are also not interested in romantic interaction, asexuality doesn't necessary preclude romantic interest. Early on before I realized I was aromantic as well as asexual, my lack of a sexual drive was discriminated against. There were those who believed I was lying to them that I cared for them or that I didn't truly love them because of my lack for sexual interest. And as a guy I was incredibly lucky. I know many of my women asexual friends who have horror stories about men who refuse to understand asexuality.

These were but a few examples from personal experience. If any asexual members of Era want to discuss their own discrimination please fill free to.

I get enough bullshit admitting my sex drive isn't always running at a "peak high" ("Whaaat but sex is amazing! You just haven't been with the right per--" uuugh no) .
We talk and sell the idea of sex so much people get almost freaked out that others can be different or simply werent born the same... Not sure why it's so hard to accept there are all kinds of peoples with all kinds of preferences....

Xaszatm thanks for making these sorta PSA posts, I honestly think they're concise and a great read for those who legitimately have questions or are just not around folk to tell them about these things...
It's great you can break folks outta their shells

I definitely relate. Out of what you said I've been told:

"You havent met the right person yet"
"If your asexual then there must be something chemically wrong with you then".

Then I get things like:
"You don't know if you like sucking a dick until you suck a dick"
"Maybe if you try having sex you might like it"
"Oh does that means you cant feel attracted to people"

It goes on. I mostly forget people saying this since the conversations rarely come up and people say this when first learning of asexuality. Most people just move on and forget about it because they don't understand it or they don't care.

Then I get things like:
"You don't know if you like sucking a dick until you suck a dick"

I bet is even less than that,

[remy]

It seems moronic to me to care about discrimination when you're both asexual and aromantic (note: I feel like aromantic just means unsociable asshole) because it's not like being a gay man in the 80s or a trans woman today or some shit where you have to love in secret or get beat to death on the way home from a night club- you can just live your life without getting involved with anyone and no one will ever know or pressure you into anything apart from like your mum and grandma nagging you for grandchildren. (note: non breeder straights have to deal with this shit too! and even if you're seeing someone they'll still nag you to get married)

It feels like really desperately wanting to be included in being oppressed when you're really not. Sorry bout it.

[benjipwns]

The examples of discrimination in that thread are literally how other people respond with things like "nah" or "that's weird" or "have you even tried sucking dick?"

This makes them unsafe.

[Boredfrom]

Funnily enough my initial thread title was going to be Asexuality and Discrimination in a Sex-Obsessed Society but I felt that might bring other weird discussion to the topic.

 

[benjipwns]

Ha! That's what I thought about but struck from the post, basically they're upset that other people aren't asexual.

Do you have kids? Usually that's the bar to the adult table.

i just wait until someone finishes eating to eat.

Being a kindergarten teacher: parents love to ditch that responsibility.
I often got seated extra, once because im vegetarian and kids food often is vegetarian (fries, pizza, ...) and of course because they have someone to watch out for their kids. Parents can get drunk and the teacher will educate/work.

I prefer the kids table. The adults are usually boring or shit people at worst.

I'd rather eat at the kiddie table, because at least the chances of having to listen to some MAGA asshole are reduced drastically.

Yes, and it is fine. I don't want to sit with those racist assholes anyways. 35 myself

sometimes i go to the kids table on purpose so i dont have to hear my fascist family talk about politics

I wouldn’t mind sitting at the kids table. I could hear about all the cool Switch games. And I could tell them a tale of the 16-bit golden age of videogames.

You must not have a wife and kids?

[who is ted danson?]

whenever they sit me at the kids table i bring along a few funko pops to unbox in front of the kids

i dont let them touch the pops (or the box) though as I dont want dirty kid hands on them

Everyone in my life most probably have no idea what asexuality is. And I'm not comfortable in discussing it with anyone, out of fear.

The only people that bother to dislike asexuals are other LGBTQ'ers.  To normies a person saying "I'm a lesbian asexual demisexual pan-being," just makes the normie nod their head and say "that's nice." How did it become my job to validate your personal choices/life?  I just came for the open bar, not to discuss my sex life.
