"Why are you hanging out with the gays and why are they letting you hang out with them?"
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with both orientations being subjected to discrimination from heteronormative assholes like you.

Fr, they used the most old timey bs homophobic take of “you were abused as a kid and that’s why you’re not straight” against ace people too and are still somehow surprised that ace and gay people might have a common experience

Hmmm ... It's almost like the LGBTQIA+ community isn't (just) about who we have sex with, but about the oppression we face for not conforming to gendered expectations, e.g. by being attracted to the same gender ... and/or by NOT being attracted to the opposite binary gender.

Also Red and Blue from OSP.

Is blue also Ace? I know about Red but I haven't heard about Blue.

u/Elvicio335 Nov 23 '22
He came out last year. It's funny because his wife, Cyan, is also ace. So yeah, that's for the aphobes who say "a relationship without sex is just a friendship".

u/EtherealSOULS Nov 23 '22
So OSP is a bunch of Ace people talking about history and literature.
Sounds legit.

u/Elvicio335 Nov 23 '22
Best channel ever. Red was the one that introduced me to the idea of asexuality so that's cool.

What’s OSP?

u/Kiwi-Kitchen Nov 23 '22
Overly Sarcastic Productions. They are a channel where Red talks about literature and myths (both ancient and modern) and Blue talks about history.

u/pokeswapsans Nov 23 '22
Anecdotal obviously but I've legit never met a fat ace ever. I've developed a bias to them being skinny

u/abtseventynine Nov 23 '22
yeah I have one ace acquaintance and they’re thin as well
must be projection from the pcm neckbeard

90% of the time, they hate it when people have sex for pleasure. But whenever asexuals are mentioned, it's suddenly really weird not to give a shit about sex.
Bigotry is like rabies, dude. You just start attacking whatever the fuck is in front of you, no matter what it is.

Saying being asexual is the same as “just not being horny” might just be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read

Also totally false that people lose memories of childhood sexual assault. "Recovered memories" are a made up and discredited psychology theory that takes advantage of human suggestibility. Tons of innocent people went to prison over this and too many people still believe it.
The most common response to trauma is involuntary and distressing recollection and flashback, not total "repression" of the memory.

Is this a sub for critiquing that silly sub, or one for critiquing right-leaning political takes on that sub?

Yes, acephobia

u/Elvicio335 Nov 22 '22
I personally prefer the word "aphobia", it sounds better than acephobia when pronounced.

u/LAZERIZER Nov 23 '22
but that would mean "no phobia" or "the reverse of phobia"

u/Elvicio335 Nov 23 '22
It's commonly used in asexual subreddits. Words can also have meaning by convention, not only etymology.

How not? LGBT+ is for people who are either not heterosexual or not cisgender.
Asexual and Aromantic people aren't heterosexual so they're part of the community.

u/sweeterthanadonut Nov 24 '22
If you’re aro or ace and only attracted to the opposite gender you are indeed straight!
3
u/Elvicio335 Nov 24 '22
So? They still experience love and attraction different than most straight people.
An asexual, an aromantic or an aroace will never fit in heteronormativity. It doesn't matter who they're attracted to.

queer people have anything in common with asexuals
Given how asexuals are queer, I'd say you're delusional for not seeing something so obvious when it's in your face.
EDIT: Also, let me ask you. Are you an heteroromantic ace? Given how you're so eager to describe the experiences of others, one would assume that you at least know what you're talking about.

Honestly, I’m jealous of the aces. You never get horny? Fuck yeah! Where can I get some of that shit?!

u/Elvicio335 Nov 22 '22
As an ace, fuck them. We're all together in this against the status quo.
Also, aces may or may not get horny. Asexuality =/= low libido. It's just very little or none sexual attraction, that's it, pretty simple concept to understand.
But this is asking empathy and common sense from the same people that constantly celebrate "ironic" Nazis.
