Glitchdom

For all things glitchy ( or, you know, whatever I want...)

[glitchglitchglitchingallthetime]

Ok so, I was scrolling though the internets and I came across this comic:

And.....my hand slipped:

[glitchglitchglitchingallthetime]

PERSON A: *Sees person b carrying a gallon jug of what looks like chocolate milk*

"Uhh..you really like chocolate milk huh?"

PERSON B: It's coffee.

PERSON A: ............Wh-What?

PERSON B: It. Is. Coffee.

PERSON A: *visibly Concerned*

I just overheard my 13 year old nephew say "excuse-the-M-wa!"

And I can't tell if his was meming the French phase "excusez-moi"

Or just mispronounced it....

And now I'm too scared to ask.

[glitchglitchglitchingallthetime]

UPDATE: he did mispronounce it...but now he's meming it on purpose...

Do new ace people these days know about black rings?

[anotherknifeinmyhands]

uhh, i don’t.

[boyplushie]

yeah! there’s a thing where ace people can wear a black ring on the middle finger of their right hand as a sign to show others that they’re ace!

(I couldn’t find a version of this pic without the bottom text, sorry)

[stubbornseedling]

I had no idea this was falling out of common knowledge. Boost to get it rolling again! Quick tip from an ace who’s been wearing the black ring for like five plus years now and has gone through several either broken or too scratched to wear- save yourself the trouble, go straight for ceramic.

there’s also aro rings, pretty much the same concept but with white rings, dont leave us out of it!

It fell out of common knowledge because exclusionists destroyed our communities 

[tired-lesbian-hours]

No you heathen, it’s out of practice because it never belonged to your community. It was never an ace thing. Those are called Equality Rings, they were worn as a promise that the wearer wouldn’t get married until gay marriage was legal. This also extended to bisexual and trans people. Stop trying to co-opt gay history and rebrand it as something for ace people.

[terflies]

(still)

[eroticcannibal]

Huh, no one has heard of this and suddenly over the past day or two, I’ve seen multiple blogs say it out of nowhere, with nothing to back it up?

Exclusionists have a habit of doing this, do you think they plan it, or are they a hivemind?

[celciusdiscourse]

Bigot bias really is a wonderful, hideous thing. Thankfully the most recent replies call that addition out for the unfounded bullshit it is, but if you scroll up in the notes, there’s a lot of people just. Accepting this, no questions asked. Because they already think so badly of ace people and their communities that they want to believe it despite coming from literally nowhere.

And this isn’t the first time this has happened.

The term “a-spec” went through the same exact bullshit! Despite having no source aside from the claims of a group of exclusionists, and even that was refuted by the entire rest of the autistic community and a simple google search.

And that this reply would be added right after somebody mentions the damage aphobes do to online ace communities?? The specific damage of silencing ace people about their community? Huh. Isn’t that just a hilarious coincidence?

Anyway, black rings on the middle finger have been an ace community thing for the past 14 years, and I actually have a source,

which not only exactly dates the development of the symbol, but also shows the exact process of how the community came up with it. In fact, if you read through the thread, there’s people already on page 2 discussing how to implement it without infringing on parallel communities’ symbols (like triangles, or lesbians’ own secret rings).

So who’s actually the one “co-opting history” here??

[asterosian]

I googled it, and the worst part is that equality rings are real… and worn on the ring finger. As would make infinitely more sense, considering the point is marriage and when people get married they generally wear their ring on the ring finger. Wearing a ring on other fingers can have entirely different meanings if it means anything at all. (For instance, I’ve heard of swingers wearing black rings on any right hand finger to signal to other swingers, but I’m not sure how prevalent that is).

So not only are they lying and saying aces coopted an lgbt+ rights thing, the only resemblance the ace ring has to actual equality rings is the color. It’s not even worn on the same finger.

They’re also naturally forgetting aro rings, which are white (or silver, I know getting actually white is a pain cause I’ve tried so I’ve found silver is close enough) and worn on the left middle finger. Or, is it forgetting or have they simply haven’t found a good enough lie to tell?

In short, aces, the black ring on the right middle finger is a part of your community and the exclusionists are trying to tear apart any semblance of a community you have with lies again.

[asterosian]

Turns out I was wrong about the worst part of this.

The worst part of this is that ace rings are older than the equality rings

Yes, you read that correctly

Asexuals are apparently capable of time travel, but are such awful homophobic thieves that they use it to go into the future to steal from gay people

Ace rings started being a thing in 2005, before the ace flag was created and shortly after AVEN was founded

Meanwhile, if anyone would like to send me any information on equality rings that predates 2016, I would love to see it

Edit: so there is an older source on equality rings. It’s from 2009. That’s still four years younger than ace rings, so my point still stands.

How could you be against free college. Like if I think about student loans for more than a few minutes I think about jumping off a cliff have some pity damn

[detached1026-deactivated2018090]

Because hundreds of thousands of people have already paid for their tuition. Should they be reimbursed? It’s not fair to the people who have already paid/ are paying for college. That’s why.

[stonerbutchblues]

Yeah I love thinking how my kids are gonna cry and have panic attacks because of the heavy student loans they’re gonna have just because they want to go to a good school. Yeah I really want them to suffer just like I did bc yknow I paid why should they have it any easier than me?? I don’t want America to be better than I found it. Fuck future generations.

[usbdongle-deactivated20200531]

i dont think we should use cars because it’s not fair to the people who had to travel via horseback. should they be resurrected with necromancy and allowed to apply for a drivers license?  think logically here

[sorcyress]

Also, like, I am one hundred percent in favour of people being reimbursed actually. That sounds like a great next step!

[moniquill]

I’m 35, and I’m still paying my loans. Would I like to be reimbursed? Fuck yeah. But I also support free college from this moment on.

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who say “I suffered, why shouldn’t they?” And those who say “No one should have to suffer like I did.”

If you’re the former kind? Fuck you.
