back on my bullshit

We NEED to put sex and magic back on the pride flag right now

To the people who think I'm making it up when some (not all or even most) ace people are seeing queer sexuality and sex positivity as an attack on them.

Sorry for not clarifying, I know it completely came off this way, but that’s not what I meant.

What I meant was, the pride flag is supposed to be a symbol of the community as a whole, right? Why put something on there that does not represent a good chunk of it, and that a good chunk of those people are actively repulsed by? Magic I’m on board with

no i understood exactly what you meant by it. queer sex is a part of the community and an important one at that. and even if you dont have sex the stripe also represents the unique queer experience with sex which also includes not having it, but also asexuals who do have sex. you cannot exclude a large part of the community because you think its gross. that is literally homophobia.

Is magic now a queer culture specific thing? because I'm totally for it.

But asexuals are absolutely a part of queer culture and the idea that queer sex should encompass the whole thing (and because of which aces should be excluded) is actually super damaging!

Like yeah kink should be included at pride because it's one of the things that has been historically used to deny rights to queer folk among other things and kink is just intrinsically part of queer culture.

But listen. It's not all of queer culture. That idea that gay sex is what's important to being queer is damaging because you start to cross into a territory of GAY IS TOO ADULT FOR MINORS and being a drag queen is intrinsically sexual and not suitable to being around kids. So let's take a step back.

Sex/kink belongs in queer spaces but other things belong there too. There's no reason to exclude queer youths.

Asexuals/aromantics, yea. There's a lot of them. It's a pretty big umbrella. You've got the demis and the grays, the ones who don't or sometimes or very specifically *sex*. And maybe from where you're standing they aren't ostracized enough by society, or maybe the toxic behavior of a few has grated on your last nerves.

Like any group out there, there's the toxic ones who feel that their own morals should be enforced on others. (Ex: people who are triggered by certain subjects-- suicide mention etc-- who should just use exclusion tags but instead rage against the author. It's okay to have this trigger. It's not okay to be toxic about it.)

There's a lot of us asexuals who are sex repulsed who are fine with sex existing. We just don't interact. The idea that we should be excluded from queer culture because part of it is disgusting to us/we don't want to partake in it is incredibly homophobic.

It's telling me that homosexuality is chiefly sexual in nature to you. It's telling me that you don't understand that the ace umbrella is quite huge and the smallest toxic portion of the already small portion of sex repulsed aces is what's causing you to cast us all out.

I feel like enough time has passed since Steven Universe ending to say this: inventing your own alter ego and then launching a war against yourself is an iconic move actually. It's like if Batman and Bruce Wayne had public beef except if entire armies were involved. She really Did That. She said "go big or go home" and then went so big that no-one could ever go home, and then changed the fate of the entire galaxy by faking her own death. She slutted it up bisexually and broke countless hearts along the way. Iconic move after iconic move. Non-stop slaying. A queen an icon a legend. No-one does it like her.

Imagine living in the universe where you have to admit that your entire shit got rocked and you got played like a goddamn fiddle by this living powder puff:

What a ledge.

I theorize the reason "bottoms" appear more prevalent than "tops" on these types of spaces is that it is simply easier to be funny about being a bottom than about being a top without sounding like a sex offender

"uuuuu 🥺 pls cock me aaaaaaaa *runs into wall like Wile E Coyote running into his own tunnel painting*" easy as shit comedy

"I want to put my DICK in someone" whoa dude calm down, take it easy

beyond-a-name

No that's literally it. Kink is stigmatized in such a specific way that it's actually much more acceptable to say "I want to be stepped on" than it is "I want to step on them" or even "I want them to ask me to step on them."

Like it's much easier to find people talking openly about wanting to be submissive (which will be errantly called "bottoming" because being a sub is Ew Gross Kink) but once there's someone to available to actually facilitate that, it's Creepy.

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”

On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.

literallyaflame

Here’s a fun story:

The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.

So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”

So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.

A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.

So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.

The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.

Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.

This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.

And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”

madd-catter

Many kids at my school will show up really sick because we only get like three days of excused absences without a doctor’s note.

#if i miss four days per quarter i flunk my class <3

one thing about orpheus and eurydice is you guys are all like “i’m different i wouldnt turn to look at her” because you are all familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. but orpheus wasnt familiar with the story because he was in it lol.

“i wouldn’t look back bc logically if she’s not there it wouldnt help to look and if she is there looking back would cause me to lose her” cool so has love never made you stupid and insane

another thing thats interesting is i think most people assume its a walk of reasonably short length that you have to resist looking back. but we dont know how long that walk was. its out of the underworld, time could work very differently. could be days. could be months. could you walk for months without looking back to see if your love is okay? i dont think you could
