Online spaces have almost always been where asexual and aromantic people meet each other and organize. This is why the major online campaigns against us around ten years ago were so destructive.
Itโs easy to say that cyber bullying doesnโt matter in the real world or whatever but targeted online bullying campaigns have the power to wreck entire communities and support networks.
Itโs difficult to just turn off your computer when all the people who relate to this aspect of your life are in there.
Iโve definitely met other asexual and arospec people irl but itโs quite rare. And real life queer spaces are in fact often bars or kink spaces. And like bully for you if you like kink or alcohol or romance but when your entire identity is based around not feeling the feelings often associated with romance and/or sex thatโs not always super fun.
And people got relentlessly mocked for bringing up this issue. Shut down. Called childish. Like okay. Fuck us for wanting a sober non sexual spot to meet other queers, right? So childish for wanting options.
Iโve been involved in the online asexual community and doing education about asexuality and aromanticism in both irl and online queer spaces for almost fourteen years now and that short period of time around 2016-2018 took a wrecking ball to my people that I feel like weโve still barely recovered from and Iโm still angry about it.
I think asexual pirates should come back. This time theyโre here for your ass. And not sexually.
what's the asexual pirates?
How quickly our knowledge is lost.
