To Live In An Anime

@toliveinananime

How I wish my life were as exciting, interesting, fun, funny, or romantic as these animes... (If you are wondering what is the name of some of this animes, don't be afraid to ask. I should know the name of all of them. And if you just want to talk about them then go ahead and talk about them with me as well.) Have a good day and thank you for coming to my blog. Hope you like it.

‘Don’t Look Up’ by Cameron Burns (Captvart)

“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

Note the date, people:

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.

So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

– What exactly does a friend mean to you? – Even if you were to ask me to explain it, I honestly don’t think I’d really have an answer. It’s just.. when I see you carrying that burden and going on about everything the way you do.. somehow.. I just h u r t. So much pain that.. I just can’t leave you alone.
