Literal asexual: "I don't feel sexual attraction"

LGBT Asexual: "Just because I'm asexual doesn't mean I don't want to get laid"

I guess it doesn't occur to this incel that they don't have to associate with anyone that they don't want to. Just don't have sex and shut up about it and the whole "problem" goes away.
 
I'm optimistic that asexuality might be a real thing, but does it need to be? It's so new, we don't know much about it. I do think it's important to acknowledge that it may stem from underlying health issues. (To name a few, low libido caused by medication, sexual dysfunction, paraphilic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, sexual trauma, etc...) And that it has no real functionality as a sexuality, unless you use it to denote that having sex may be difficult for you when dating. For some people, sex can be crucial in a relationship: a dead bedroom can make or break some marriages. Originally, it seems many original asexual communities existed for those who feel it is harder to establish an intimate long term relationship due to their "lack of sexuality." Then came the argument that asexuality wasn't caused by trauma or health issues, and that you can just be "born ace." And with that, asexual people became recognized by the LGBTQs as a minority, (and potentially a sexuality) Thus adopting them into their acronym. (In the west, at least.)

What confuses me is the asexual label has now become a spectrum under LGBTQIA8347+. Now, nobody can agree on what exactly asexuality is, and why it needs to be a thing. Its current definition on wikipedia is "....the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity." I think that's simple enough, but as a spectrum, it's about to get more complicated:

Just like the influx of new genders, the ace spectrum is a very new concept and constantly changing. Its current standing as a spectrum combines unnecessarily complicated interpretations of sexual attraction, usually depicted as various sub-identities. (One of the most popular ones being Demisexual, a form of asexuality that basically exists to let people know that you don't fuck people until you're friends with them. Yes, I think it's a useless label.) Aromanticism is the same as asexuality except it has to do with romantic attraction instead. The identity labels are practically the same, and they go hand in hand as ANOTHER sub identity, called "aro ace." Personally, I think making asexuality a spectrum renders the original meaning completely useless. When sub identities like the ones shown above exist, it then encompasses a large portion of otherwise normal people in society with fluctuating libidos or simple sexual preferences. The criteria doesn't need to be this broad. When everyone is asexual, nobody is.

...Wait, so, since asexuality can manifest in so many different ways, I could adopt a "marginalized" label for basically no effort? Bingo, enter mentally ill qweers. This is why so many "asexual" people are the majority in online kink groups. Fap to abstract furry fetish fanfiction your whole life, and now you can't get it up with a real human being? Congrats, you're ace. You're on antidepressants and have no libido? Yep, you're ace. You don't do casual hookups with people? You guessed it, probably ace. You poor thing, you must be terribly oppressed by the cishet allosexual normies. Why would I do something about my health issues when I can use them to my advantage and further my victim/oppression complex? There are so many unstable, trooned out, anime obsessed, furry asexuals on twitter. Being asexual is just one more intersectionality label they can claim for more oppression olympic cred. One more reason for them to e-beg, one more reason for them to hate the hets, yadda yadda. Some use asexuality and aromanticism to excuse their deviant behaviour. I'm acquainted with an aro ace person who basically has their own mantra of "Yeah, I overstepped your boundaries and grabbed your junk, but I didn't mean it in a sexual way, I'm ace!"

That's what LGBTQIA+ has become, and it's likely that this person isn't going to find any true and honest asexuals under the qweer umbrella. They should have stopped at B.
 
Mindblowing fact: your sexual preferences don't have to be your entire identity

Get good at literally anything. Or at least try to get good at literally anything. If the first thing I learn about you is who/what/when/where/why/how/if you like to fuck, you're a loser.
 
I don't know about the legitimacy of actual asexuality, it's probably a thing and I'm sure they're out there (it feels really stupid to be talking about a sexuality like you'd talk about the existence of aliens but w/e).

But the issue is, like all fringe groups, there's the vocal minority (majority in this case?) of people who don't actually fit in with the group or share any of their ideals but claim they do anyway. "LGBT Asexuals" sound like those extremist/enlightened atheist who claim to be an atheist yet treat atheism as if it were in itself a religion. As in, extremist atheists are hypocrites because they are religious but claim not to be, just like LGBT asexuals are extremely sexual while claiming not to be. Then you have the silent people who are legitimately an atheist or asexual who never say anything because they realize it's a minor detail of their character and not something they have to base their entire personality around.
 
I technically agree as in general the LGBTQ IS full of people that are, flamboyant at most and degenerates at worst. The redditor is right, and honestly Asexuals and those under the Asexual/Demi/Aro Umbrella wouldn't like to be lumped with people like Phillip Harel nor Chris-Chan and especially those pushing for pedophiles to be under the rainbow flags.

But, what can ya do? The only solution I can think of is some autistic petition signed exclusively by Aces/Demis/Graysexuals etc. and hope for the best.

Also I'm not getting into international issues since it's sad but true that even into 2020 there's stigma on anything except "straight".
 
They might just get the hardest cock of all. Slam it in hard. No longer homosexual. Now asexual
Assuming that the OP in reddit has Homo urges/dirty fantasies of being dominated, who knows.
But if this guy keeps getting banned from Asexual sub-Reddits just to prove they're the ONE TRUE ASEXUAL AND ALL OF YOU ARE INFERIOR REEE1!!! then it's not the sub-reddits' problems nor the mods, it's you! Dial it the fuck down, Asexuality is almost a dime-a-dozen and take a chill pill.

This is something I forgot to mention.

If you have to appeal to reddit for validation then you need to reevaluate your life.

You're right completely.
Doesn't reddit have r/Am I the Asshole? Or r/Today I Fucked Up threads?! This guy should just copy and paste his post on those and get whatever negative ratings he can get in both and take the fucking L.
Hell, not even making a thread in KF to validate how you're such an awesome rapist/ or insert talent or how you're a positive noob/troll isn't allowed and you get every negative sticker and comments at best, or get Null himself pissed off to shit on your profile if he's being generous that day.
 
Just change it to LGBTSUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS already to make sure that all of the present and future "identities" are covered.
I concur.
Get every umbrella and recolor them to the rainbow flags for each sexuality, even the autistic and made up ones and instead of Mary Poppins under each umbrella flag, a stereotypical gay or commission a Deviantartist/Tumblr artist to appease the "Ree!!!1 Diversity/Representation" crowds on Twitter to avoid being cancelled. At the same time, you get another "Mary Poppins" adaptation. Win-Win.
 
99.9% of obnoxious tumblr asexual spergs digest the most explicit yaoi content and use asexuality as a way to deflect any accusations of being fetishists. if they don't deny it, they usually just go the way of MLM wannabe trannies.

i think asexuality can be a thing, but there's no way to prove or disprove it. either way, i just ignore discussions of it completely and let the fake asexuals expose themselves by how they painfuly squirm under the lack of attention they recieve for the STUNNING AND BRAVE act of NOT fucking.

I ...once considered myself Ace, but online all I got was
"whats ace?" Or "you're not one of those asexual people, are you?" by lowlives.

Not even in Tumblr did I post explicit Yaoi/Bara...but nsfw guides on people screwing/Persona 4/3 fanart/and LOTS of music files. Perhaps in the exemption to the rule. Asexuality is truly, a detriment....no one gets you And they WANT YOU TO CONFORM TO BEING LESBIAN/BI/STRAIGHT FOR THEIR CONVENIENCES, NOT YOURS....it's tragic.
 
I think it’s a real thing, just like homosexuality. While I personally don’t give a shit what genitalia you prefer, I still think they’re genetic aberrations who will (Hopefully) select themselves out.

While I haven’t cared to read any scientific literature on the topic, there’s a genetic component for most things, and I can’t imagine asexuality (or homosexuality) not having at least some genetic component.
