i'm acephobic in that i don't trust people who clearly have active libidos but portray themselves as "asexual" online as some sort of weird dating method for weeding out people who can be honest about their attraction

I'm acephobic in that I can't stand those people equating their struggles with actual LGB people, and claiming they're oppressed because no one wants to fuck them. For most people, it's clearly a defense mechanism.

that's definitely a part of it that i haven't considered. virgin coping.

About 99% of the self-identified "asexual" people I've met are unattractive, fat, emotionally stunted, sheltered women who probably have confidence issues about their looks. I think I'd believe it more if an actually attractive and socially adept woman with experience in the real world identified as asexual, but I've yet to see one.

even when woke TV shows try to portray asexuality it's always someone with trauma who would otherwise have a normal sexual relationship.

There are TV shows who try to depict this bull shit?

high maintenance did an episode with an ace character.

but later it was revealed that they had some kind of past trauma and used to be intimate.

I think less people people would ID as asexual if they actually realized it means you're literally not attracted to anyone, ever. The problem is the definition of asexual gets so obfuscated to include people who absolutely are attracted to others, all in the name of having a quirky "marginalized" identity. Tumblr made it "cool" by giving it a name like "ace" and wrapping the identity in some infantalizing purple flag and packaging it as some oppressed minority that gets treated as bad as actual gay people. Out of all the rando sexualities that people make up, I hate asexual the most.
