Actually Im Gonna Put This In It’s Own Post.

actually im gonna put this in it’s own post.

I’ve had conversations with more than a few ace teens since the discourse, and there has been such a miserable impact on their experience because of what the discourse caused.

When I was figuring out I was aro/ace, there was an entire community of bright, outspoken, positive folks who were out & proud of their identities to support me through that (very, very difficult) realization. People who talked openly about how cool it was to be aro/ace, how much they loved it and themselves, how great the community was, and who made me feel welcome and optimistic.

Folks now have nothing. They have a stringent group of people who are terrified of their own label, who hide it, bury it, laugh it off as something they’re ashamed of but are burdened with nonetheless, talk about hating themselves for it, or about how hard it’s made their lives. They have these once-thriving community spaces now full of mocking and shaming and hatefulness, and no choice but to feel terrible about themselves, often inclined to deny who they are so they don’t have to accept what has become a miserable lack-of-community to identify with.

It’s hard, learning to accept yourself as ANYTHING that isn’t straight, and the community around that identity is the most important tool you can have to get through it. The community teaches you how to feel about your new identity, whether you should feel pride or shame, optimism or pessimism, whether you should feel warm & welcome or terrified & miserable.

Today, ace and aro youth are learning to be ashamed, afraid, and to cast aside words, people, and a community history that could help them feel complete in a world that’s constantly telling them how miserable they’ll be without sex and/or romance.

Confession: An action RPG involving the V3 survivors would legitimately be pretty cool, with them helping out in certain “classes”, with Shuichi learning more combat/equipment forging skills.

“Hey, Momota-chan, why are you running from me? You’re the only one who can see me so it’s awful rude to run…” (hear me out…… ghost au……)

Could you write a poem about being asexual but feeling forced to have sex due to the pressure of common society?

SEX! SEX! SEX!

Get your fill

You read it here and

Pretty much everywhere

In bold type and exclamation

Points; portrayed as this universally

Lusted after thing and anyone

Who dares deviate from desiring
