Umm.... Yep.

Like. We’re literally having our orientations attacked. We’re being compared to horribly misogynistic groups and other terrible people. We’re having our language be torn apart through vicious mockery. Our orientations are being pushed out of a community that has accepted and welcomed them for years before this “discourse” started.

I’m sorry that us (and our allies) trying to stick up for ourselves is boring you or annoying you. /s

Never have I met an asexual that demanded me to stop with the sex jokes or to stop drawing smut art. I did have a sex-repulsed ace that used to follow me and was kind enough to let me know they still liked me but were unfollowing bc my sex jokes made them uncomfortable. They never shamed me or anything, just gave me a polite heads-up. Some of the best smut fic writers I know are ace. Some of the best people I know are ace. I have ace friends I would legit die for.

So before you reblog posts like that one for the lols “haha look at those crazy asexuals amirite? Do they wanna censor the world or what lol?”, think that this is a tactic to divide our community. Think that someone somewhere is deeply hurt by this kind of joke when they’re already being constantly asked if they’re “broken” or if there’s “something wrong” with them. Think that this kind of joke mocks people that sometimes deal constantly with the threat of corrective rape passed as a joke.
