25 bigoted things you can say to an asexual person: 1. There’s no such thing as asexuality 2. It’s just a phase 3. You’re just a late bloomer 4. You’re in denial 5. That’s the same as celibacy 6. How do you know if you’ve never tried it? 7. You’re just repressed 8. You’re just gay and you don’t know it 9. You just haven’t met the right person yet 10. You just have daddy issues 11. So do you masturbate all the time? 12. You have no passion or love of life 13. You’re afraid of sex 14. You’re just selfish 15. You’ve got to want to f*** something! 16. You’re afraid to get close to other people 17. What are you interested in then, animals? 18. Have you had your hormones checked? 19. You’re just trying to get attention 20. [Silent eyeroll, dirty look] 21. You should try viagra 22. You’re still going to get married and have children though, right? 23. You can’t be asexual because humans can’t reproduce by themselves 24. I don’t think it’s okay for you to be asexual, because I just want you to be happy 25. Don’t worry, I can cure you of that attitude

That Moment When...

You throw up so violently you rupture some blood vessels in your eyes.

Bigots: Asexuals are queer! Let us treat them horribly in accordance! 

Me, an actual queer person: Asexuals are queer! Let’s give them access to our support system! 

Asexuals: We’re queer! Can we have a–

The entire rest of the LGBTQ+ community apparently: NO NO NO NO YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE UMBRELLA TERMS, LET ME ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE DEFINITION IN A WAY THAT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES YOU AND ONLY YOU

I feel i might be alone in this, but i was watching a thinktank video of asexuality and they kept saying 'an asexual' or 'asexuals have...' while both of them are allos and it rubbed me the wrong way? i like using "asexual person" and i kinda feel like its dehumanising just saying 'an asexual'. i like the term 'ace' on its own and i use that but i really don't like just saying 'an asexual', have you or your followers felt that before?

I personally haven’t (I refer to myself as “an asexual” often), but I’m fairly sure you’re not the only one who feels that way. Check the notes on this, someone else might weigh in.

[conflictedinterests]

It is dehumanizing, and to a degree offensive, because if you say “an asexual” that’s all they are in your mind. But if you say “an asexual person” that uses asexual as a descriptor instead. So yes, I would definitely find that dehumanizing.

This election has made me more and more ashamed to be Canadian. I can’t believe it. Harper gets worse by the minute.

All I can say is, I hope enough people my age get pissed at him to outvote all the small-town idiots who vote conservative because it’s “tried and true”.

Twinkle Twinkle fucking why

Can’t I draw the other eye

What the fuck’s up with your nose

Fuck those folds in all your clothes

Twinkle Twinkle fucking shit

Fuck this art, I’m done I quit.

[damnanime]

Little artist, please don’t cry, I’ll help you draw that fucking eye.

If your features seem rather whack, Flip the canvas and drive them back.

If traditional is more your trend, Then notice sempai Wilhelm Bendz!

If all this seems a total waste, Then fucking cheat with cut and paste.

The other day at work when the tint poured into the paint can, it made this incredible work of art. I wish I could have kept it this way, but alas, the customer still needed their paint. :)

I think the reason so many ignorant people think heretoromantic aces and heterosexual aros are “straight” is because they see our asexuality, our aromanticism, as a weird “neutral” rather than an orientation, as a recessive gene that gets overwritten by the attraction we do feel. They are wrong. My asexuality colors so many of my thoughts, and in our romance saturated culture, I’m sure aromanticism does the same for aromantics. It is not an odd quirk for an otherwise straight person. It is a different facet of being queer, and anyone who wishes to identify with that word should not be pushed away.

Please.

Hahahahahaha no seriously that’s not okay.

[hells-finest-gentleman]

I’m mostly reblogging this because of that beautiful piece of cake, I’m so sorry, but that cake is a wonderful delicious looking distraction to your very nice post??

[aasexualcakeuniverse]

That’s okay, it’s a damn good reason to reblog. I approve.

[booperdoopererryday]

I have zero filter it doesn’t matter if you’re asexual or sexual, this topic will most likely come up at three in the morning I’m just really weird that way :P

[aasexualcakeuniverse]

Please keep in mind that this is an offensive question, but keep doing what you do, I suppose…

[timmythetrashking]

I would just look at them dead in the eye with murderous look and ask “do you?” Just to see how they react

[aasexualcakeuniverse]

As hilarious as this all is, it’s kinda defeating the purpose of this post to show that it’s really not an okay thing to ask…

The phrase “more than friends” will be burned at the stake at dawn.

[conflictedinterests]

How about “just friends” as well, friends are pretty damn important.

Being asexual is like being born without a sense of smell, but everywhere you go people are spraying perfume in your face and when you ask them to stop and tell them it’s irritating you, they get huffy and reply with, “Don’t lie to me; I can clearly see you have a nose. Everybody has a nose, therefore everybody smells things, and besides, maybe you just haven’t found the right scent yet.” Then you just want to scream.
