I dislike the “aces are innocent” thing because much of the time we’re just dumb. Like lots of sexuality stuff doesn’t apply to us (at least not in the same way) so we don’t think about it the same way allos do
Like my roommate mentioned they and their partner got sick after we had all taken a trip to the store in a tiny car and I was like “oh right because we were all crammed in there together, I’ll probably get sick next” and they were like “no because later we were kissing” and I was like “shit. Ace moment. I didn’t think about that.” It’s not that I forgot people kiss or didn’t know, I just don’t assume every partnership involves kissing (many don’t) and thus didn’t think about it
Similar thing to when I went to my first Rocky Horror Picture Show. When asked if I enjoyed it, I was like “it’s fun but the plot was very weird and made little sense. The audience commentary was the best part” and everyone was like “you don’t watch Rocky Horror for the plot” and I was like “I did. People being half naked doesn’t really do it for me so I didn’t pay attention to that. However ‘how do you fuck a millimeter? Ask your mom!’ has entered my vocabulary and will probably live there for quite a long time.”
We’re just on another level with this sexuality/relationship stuff. Not innocent, just different and sometimes dumb lol
