As a homoromantic asexual, I cannot comprehend how blatantly ignorant and clueless some people can be after watching a literal video educating them on the subject at hand. Did they leave their device in another room, do they speak a foreign language and so couldn't understand what was said. It's not difficult to grasp. Give asexuality the same energy as you do all other orientations and identities.
I'd never thought about the importance of teaching microlabels before. I'm fully aroace so I fit the "standard" definition, and it never occurred to me that others with microlabels have even more explaining to do than I do. Shout out to that random aphobe for creating a moment to shed light on that important issue
I like how one of the arguments against the A being ace is that they don't want hetero's overwhelming the community, then they decide it means Ally. About 1% of the population are ace and not all of us are even hetero but by definition ally's are always hetero and I think (well, hope) they make up well above 1% of the population.
I think it's funny how aphobes care so much about if a person feels sexual attraction or not, like if that would somehow effect the aphobe's life in some way??
Aro-ace vent !! So its 2am and I was really hungry so I went downstairs and my mom let me have some food. While I ate, i complained about my ex, and she recommended me to tell my ex (basically he keeps harassing me about getting back together) that I am asexual, I thought it might be a nice time to come out to her, (as Aro-ace) and she told me I was wrong, confused, and the label I was comfortable with was silly and unnatural. She brought up that she was a-phobic, and I "just haven't really found serious love yet." She reminded me I've had many crushes in the past, and have been girl crazy. " I don't understand that sh#t, you can't just take yourself out of the dating pool. Its selfish, All humans have love, they just don't understand who yet." She kept telling me about how she's my mom, and she knows me better than I do. I identify with the cupioromantic label (she\her) and lesbian Have a good day💙
kinda don't get why ace people get so much negativity from within the lgbt+ anyways. like..? an ace man is just as much not heterosexual as a gay man - shouldn't this be a uniting factor? and as an allo person it's not hard to understand either. think of someone you're not sexually attracted to, now imagine that you feel this way about everyone (i am obviously oversimplifying extremely here but i have found that this is a solid foundation to start on when talking to someone who's never heard of this before and depending on their response you can work on the details later) i really dont get it. are they afraid that there's a finite resource of cishet niceness and if ace people want to be included in that, that homophobia will be on the rise again as the niceness runs out? is it this? fear and envy? always like to remind myself that 99.9% of my irl experiences with other queer people have been positive and inclusive and that unfortunately online comments. just are. like that. :/ edit: spelling
EXACTLY! Thank you! I had a bi girl tell me, an aroace girl, that I was just "too scared to admit that I was a lesbian" and that me saying I didn't like sex was absurd like are they fucking serious
We can just collectively ignore the loud screech of excitement when I realized you too were aceflux... On a more serious note, it surprising how uneducated some people are, it's not that hard of a concept to understand. I don't get why people are so mad at the fact that some people don't experience sexual attraction, it's not hurting or harming anyone. I hope we can get to a point where people are understanding and accepting of asexuality because it doesn't need to be this huge debate. Thank you for a video like this!!
I knkw its 2 years late but i alsp discovered my asexuakity at 26 Just last year. Im still learning about asexuakity myself not only to help support the ace community when i interact with other aces but to also lewrn mkre about myself
Yea, I saw that video. I thought it was quite good. And I read a few of those despicable and hate-filled comments. I wasn't surprised to see them, but they did very much enrage me. It took almost every ounce of my willpower to not verbally lay into every last one of them. After everything you do to debunk ace myths and educate people about asexuality, there are still many people who do us like this. This kind of crap is a constant reminder of how much hope I've lost in humanity. But at the very least, the ace allies and fellow ace-spec members give me some glimmer of hope. But as for the Aphobes: I hope that they rot! Sorry for this long rant. I hope you're doing well, Sam🖤💜💚♠️🤘
6:05 Hmmmm, It's an ancient and magical ritual that takes place in the forests found in the deepest and darkest caves. That ritual leads to a paper which a note which reads: "They do it the same way non-asexuals do it, is that so hard to believe?".
People who say that aspec should not be in the LGBTQ+ community are gatekeeping, and thats really not what we are about. The community is about acceptance, and love, and helping people feel welcome. Gatekeeping helps nobody, and people really need to stop. Everyone is valid 💚🤍🖤
I haven't been here in forever. I was under a different channel. these people don't get asexuality is a spectrum and everyone has a different experince.
So theres a few ppl who dont care... feel like it's no one's business BUT STILL made time and watched your pink news video AND commented under it 🙄 but you don't care
I was worried this was going to be a depressing video, but those comments were just too stupid to be truly offensive.

Those comments are exactly why education and discussion are necessary. You rock for putting yourself out there like that 🤘
💜💜💜💜
Aromatic Asexuality is one of the coolest sexualities out there
No cheating partners, no stdsno crying after a break upand no unwanted pregnancy. I consider it a blessing .
No pain from breakups is heaven. While everyone is crying from heartbreaks we are just here having cake and garlic bread
awhhh thank you!
Some people have an amazing ability to express very firm opinions while at the same time revealing how little they understand of the subject matter.
i'm ace and almost 30. these people will go straight from calling you immature to "old"
I’m asexual, and honestly I could do without the libido.
same

😂 they say they don’t care and continue to send hate comments! Lmao I can’t
My mom is aphobic and I am questioning if I am asexual since I was 10.....
I'm coming out tomorrow as aroace lets pray it goes well.
See that’s what amusing to me. You don’t feel sexual attraction and someone can get so mad because of it

asexual is written assexual on Portuguese so maybe that was the reason for the spelling error.
also your tattoos looks amazing
Ahhh okay 😅🤣 thank you 🥰

To be fair ace people can still be hetero/bi/pan/gay/etc. Plenty of ace people that do experience some degree of sexual attraction

Hey, a fellow ace living in Wales. Liked your video, sorry you get hate comments. Pink News is a dumpster fire of hate sometimes.
Thanks for not censoring the @'s. Free blocklist :)

Many Acemisos and/or Aromisos confuse celibacy for being ace, aro or aroace.
I've never heard of acemiso or aromiso, what does that mean? I assume it is a microlabel of some kind.

@@ShadowPenguin isn't that just an acephobe/ asexphobe?

As an aroace person, some people really need to go back to school
