If you're a white/non-Black person wondering why I don't want you to follow - you do everything Yasmin wrote in the tweets.

Aces Are White, Aros Are Green, But Spades Are Black

On the (online) ace & aspec community’s antiblackness, once and for all.

'Using this age old script of whiteness, ace and overall aspec communities weaponise the Mammy and the Jezebel against Black aces and aros, assuming and projecting sexuality onto us that we do not want, whilst also demonising the parts of sexuality we do want to take part in, directly or indirectly, alongside our romantic attractions, sensualities, QPRs and friendships. In online ace and aspec spaces, the white fear of Black sexuality is reborn with queer terminology in its right hand and a tumblr login on its left. Echoing James Baldwin’s words, the queer world still isn’t prepared to accept Black people yet and neither are the asexual or aromantic worlds either.'

'Eeriely, I now follow the very same path as Yasmin Benoit. An Asexual Jezebel, a somehow sexless sexual predator, who enforces Black sexual deviancy, the great harasser of innocent white children and the white sex repulsed, but also an Asexual Mammy, expected to serve her white counterparts endlessly, on demand, with no reward and no rest and a threat to white sexual normalcy and its sexual reproduction.'

'How many more? How many more Black people will be driven away because of this community’s antiblackness? How many more Black aspecs will we lose access to because they can’t safely be in community with other aces and aros anymore? Black asexuals and Black aromantics continue to be the bedrock of aspec activism, contacting MPs to include asexuality in their LGBT policies and pushing for legal recognition of asexuality and aromanticism, publishing reports on the anti-asexual medical stigma, raising awareness of asexual conversion therapy, pushing back on the capitalist and conservative control of romance, building coalitions with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans orgs, creating artworks of asexual and aromantic representation and commentary and writing works on asexuality and aromanticism as social-political frameworks, to educate others and create an archive of our works for future aspec generations, like this very essay you are reading right now. And yet we are the most insulted, most hated and most neglected people of this entire online aspec space.'

Hi Ice, hope you don't mind this isn't direct about Black characters, but since you've mentioned the Black aspec experience in your lessons, I thought I'd bring up that today is SoulAce Day 2026! It's a holiday celebrating Black American asexual culture specifically and the intersections of identity they experience. It's still a newer celebration and will need some more coverage and publicity to flourish. People can read an interview from earlier this year with the founders here where they discussed their experiences and hopes for the Day.

It overlaps with Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week this year as well, so much care to Black aromantics for the rest of this week alongside Black aroaces and asexuals today!

Celebrating Black Ace Community... with the creators of Soul Ace Day

Marshall Blount, Alyshia Rodgers and Kimberly Butler created Soul Ace Day to uplift Black ace voices and experiences.

I would never refuse news about real Black people and their representation!

Happy ace week to my Black asexuals, Black demis, Black greys, ace studs, ace stems, ace femmes/fish and everyone else in between

[sanyu-thewitch05]

The way the non black asexuals are reacting to Niger criminalizing lgbtq identities like asexuality is so insensitive and atrocious.

Why are yall going

“Oh no, my garlic bread.”

“We literally don’t do anything!”

“I’m illegal in Niger lol”

Making garlic bread and cake jokes, including Catholic Priests, etc.

Yall-actual people are about to be harmed by this. Can yall be serious for one minute? Also, you’re literally nonblack. If you were to go Niger you’d probably be treated better than the locals just because of the fact you’re not black.
