I'm okay with "ace" people becuase I believe it's possible to not be sexually attracted to anyone but they ain't fucking LGB nor should be apart of it. They need their own community.

They can also be gay. I know people who are definitely gay but only want companionship and affection. But it's still a separate issue and the heteros and "aroaces" with their ten different pride flags yelling how they're more oppressed than LGB piss me off.

Yeah, like Tim Gunn from Project Runway. He describes himself as asexual, the last time he had a boyfriend was back in the 80's, and he's a good looking, successful, kind-hearted guy, he could have his pick of boyfriends if he wanted. So I believe asexual people really do exist, they're just extremely rare. (And IDK, maybe he has a medical/psychiatric issue that he never dealt with, but at this moment in time he's asexual.)

When randos pretend to be asexual, it steals from people like Tim Gunn, and that really frustrates me. This is an actual guy who is actually living this experience. He's not a 13 year old girl "demi-asexual" going through puberty who can only get hot for 2016 Justin Bieber and Zayn.

That's also true! Tho, majority of the time, for those who are both gay and ace, they always go by "homoromantic" asexual. Instead of just calling themselves gay.

Yeah, that's me! I'm ace! Also lesbian. I don't know how much I would promote being ace if I was straight, though. And I'm not that fond of aros. Like, isn't an aro man just a danger to society? Someone who have sex with women but won't ever have feelings for them?

aro-anything-pride is such nonsense to me, like congrats, you're missing out? It's not like there's some massive stigma against being single anymore so that doesn't make sense either.

LOL IDK what it is about that "dollz" picture, the fonts, the colors, but it's all so perfect for this! Whoever made this is an artist!

What even is a grey-asexual? You still like dicks, Kaiyghleighie, you're not Kweer.

I laughed at it before I'd even finished reading the text 😂

And grey-ace seems to be anything between nymphomania and locking yourself in a chastity belt, from what I can tell.

Idk what grey ace means either. A “grey ace” I know routinely has group sex (nothing wrong with that but how is that asexual).

I am OK with homoromantic and biromantic aces considering themselves LGB but heteroromantic aces are such a fucking joke. Aromantoc aces a bit less of obnoxious clowns because they aren't straight but still. Split attraction theory and asexuality being a spectrum is a big mistake. I usually hate to specify I'm aromantic asexual. To me aromantic = asexual. Inseparable. There was even a thread in r/AcePhilosophy and aces wondering why a study has shown a decline in people identifying as asexual. If you include in asexuality people are aren't actually asexual then it shouldn't be so strange. Like I'm not surprised by that at all.
