unironically can't bring myself to hate her though because she was one of the people who made me start to see some of the cracks in capitalist realism

    exclusionary of sex-positive ace people, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what ace people are (they lack sexual attraction, not libido)

    really makes you think

        What does a person without sexual attraction, but with libido, jack off to? Architecture?

            Every top comment in that thread has a different definition for "sex positive ace" in it. Top comment says that "sex positive" means you want sex despite not being attracted to anyone in particular, top reply says that it actually means you don't want sex but you're willing to do it if your partner wants it, third comment says that the "sex positive" part actually means that you're fine with other people having sex. Then there's "allosexual" which apparantly means "you can like sex and you can be attracted to someone (except when you aren't)", which is such a broad fucking definition I would say that it applies to the entire human race.

            I'm not trying to "gotcha" your identity, I'm just pointing out that saying that "I'm asexual (but sometimes I'm sexual)" is a pretty blatant and obvious self contradiction.

              saying that “I’m asexual (but sometimes I’m sexual)” is a pretty blatant and obvious self contradiction.

              Except that asexuality is a spectrum and most people who aren't constantly horny fall somewhere in an area one could describe as a "blatant and obvious self contradiction" if we write off such grey areas as paradoxical. There's asexual orientations that are so normal most people never even get the idea that there could be a label for how they feel, like demisexual. It's actually really productive to let go off the notion that asexuality = robotic Mr. Spock kind of person. I mean, it's also a whole lot less offensive to ace people, but it's also kind of a prerequisite to understand the full extend of human sexuality and i don't mean that in a "understand a low single digit percentile of people who never get aroused and never have relationships" kind of way, i mean that in an "understand how the majority of people feels and frequently doesn't feel sexual desire" kinda way.
