I witnessed the rise of the MOGAI bs and the push of the split attraction model and it was just the worst. IMO it also gave younger people the idea that the sex in homosexual meant intercourse. I don't think asexuality and homosexuality are comparable at all, and I hated the "A Doesn't Mean Ally" push.

It's also obvious that some of the people who build an identity around "being ace" have no idea how people work... normally? Like, I've never seen a good explanation for the difference between feeling sexual attraction and wanting to have sex with someone. It was also always strange to me that they would push so hard to be included and then complain about the "filthy allos" and their PDA as if that wasn't fucking homophobic.

People can have low/no sex drive for various reasons but it's not a sexuality or an identity and sometimes people don't want to have sex because they're literally kids absorbing information about made up identities on the internet.

TL;DR it's tumblr bullshit that existed before tumblr - fuck you very much David Jay - but it's still tumblr bullshit. (And I fully blame them for all the fucking flags.)
