Asexual/aromantic are one of those things I find it hard to believe actually exists, you telling me 4 billion years of evolution and however many hundreds of millions of years of sexual reproduction didn't iron out the retards who wouldn't have sex? Madness
Much more likely its people who have some sort of trauma or mental hangup or just have never experienced love so they can't conceive of wanting to be with someone, even though if they got into a relationship and started to fall for someone they'd change their tune in an instant
Asexuality is a thing; you can have low sex drive and just decide you have better things to do. You can argue about 4 billion years of evolution but how many babies are birthed from homo buttfucking orgies or dykes fisting each other?
And sort of like being a homo, when you drill down in there's usually a formative event that happened to them to make them hew to that behavior pattern.
Aromantic is also a thing, but historically it was just called "being a sociopath that can't form attachments" and/or "being a nympho/manslut".
What I think you're trying to express is disbelief that there's been this yuge uptick in people self-identifying in these categories. And that is very accurate.
Part of it is oppression points. If you are straight you get no oppression stack points unless you start making shit up.
And I'm echoing what a lot of people say about If you are someone who watches Anime and you decide 'Oh, I'm a fairly normal person, I like this anime and here is a community of people who also like this Anime, let's go talk to people like me' and you are greeted immediately with walls of coomerbait and "Step on me, mommy!" posts, you might decide "Well, I'm not as sexually motivated as these other people, I must be asexual"
I have a friend who when he's single gets hangry levels of needlessly surly agressive if he goes like two weeks without fucking some nameless slut. Like he will go and fuck some real slamwhales if he goes a month without getting his dick wet. I enjoy fucking too, but if his absolute single-minded drive for pussy regardless of all consequences or quality was my sole frame of reference I'd just assume I was also asexual.
I've had a disturbing number of friends, both male and female, who simply cannot comprehend or deal with not being a relationship no matter how toxic for more than a week. A girl who I don't hang out with anymore would basically cheat on a current partner for a couple of weeks before jumping to the new partner because she couldn't accept not having a boyfriend. One of my friends kept going back to his toxic ex if he was single for more than two weekends in a row. It was like fucking clockwork, if he didn't have a girlfriend by that second sunday, he'd give her a late night booty call and they'd date for another 1-6 months before they'd split up again.
Post 20, I've had multiple relationships that have lasted more than a year, but I've been single more than I've in a relationship and if the relationship isn't healthy I'll walk away and be single for a while; if those serial relationship people were my sole frame of reference I'd just assume I was aromantic.
I picture this as some sort of Star Trek thing, with the phasers set to full speed ahead.
