#acebigotry

Apparently there are actual blogs dedicated to the exclusion of asexual people from the MOGAI community?! The acephobia on this site is becoming truly frightening.

I saw a post by an acebigot that was like “the ace community is so hypocritical they tell non-aces to not talk over them and then ignore the voices of aces who don’t want those evil cishets in their spaces *eye emoji eye emoji*” and like.... it’s funny in multiple ways because not only is it so amazingly transparent that this acebigot only brings up the voices of these “good” aces because they perpetuate their hateful gatekeeping rhetoric (and said acebigot absolutely would not care if you died in a ditch, “good” aces, just in case you have any delusions about being accepted by these people on Tumblr so long as you throw your fellow aces under the bus), but it actively ignores the fact that people within a group can absolutely perpetuate violence against other members of said group. 

People of color can absolutely engage in colorism and perpetuation of the notion that “light skin = better”. L .esbians can absolutely engage in Gold Star politics that actively and exclusively harm other l.esbians like.... aces are no different? Internalized acebigotry is a thing, as is just being a straight up gatekeeping asshole (but ok I’m sure you knew that last part anyways).

But I guess expecting acebigots to care about their erasure of harmful concepts and suffering was foolish to begin with.

“has the aphobic side of Tumblr really fallen this far?” is not a question you need to waste your time asking.

yes. the answer is yes.

So we talk a lot about Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs at my DSP training and today a version appeared that includes ‘sex’ on the bottom of the pyramid next to crucial needs like “breathing” and “eating” so naturally I pointed it out and questioned it and got responses from the rest of the class like “reproducing is human instinct” and “sex is about the survival of the species” as if survival of their species is as immediate and crucial a need as breathing and my ace ass is in the middle of a room full of allosexual people like “yeah, sure, whatever you say”

i am equally as sick of “i support you aces if you act / speak / feel this specific way (that i have deemed acceptable and therefore you must adhere) wrt your sexuality and the trauma said sexuality has induced on you” as i am of outright abigotry

kinda fucked up over the fact that the lgbt community here constantly excludes, insults, belittles, erases aces / aromantics because we “don’t belong”, but the moment we voice any fear / discomfort of members of the same said community that violently hates us, we get called homophobic.....

damn tumblr, back at it again with the painting the entire asexual community as a hivemind to justify your hatred.

This is the first time I’ve been told that acebigotry is a made up thing and I’m silly for believing it exists.
