@@creativedesignation7880 That's why I love utility work pants, they usually have around 10 pockets and one of them can literally fit a small book ^^ You can fit all of the things that usually need a bag for into the pants (including the baby dragon of course ^^).
Honestly, I am autistic, so I tend to struggle with the idea that people genuinely think in completely different ways than I do. I always thought that they were just being hyperbolic and overtly raunchy as a sort of in-joke among all men. Whenever I see someone attractive, to me it's more of a "goddamn, that person looks really comfy. I want to spend time around that person - I bet they're great at hugs too". Imagine the horror when I found out that people actually want to put their genitals in, on, or near complete strangers just because of the way they look.
That reminds me! I used to think that most people were demi-sexual, and it took me a while to believe that people actually want to have sex with complete strangers. I'm ace, and I just did not believe in allos.
I love that scene so much! It felt amazing to be represented like that. Unfortunately my family just laughed at it and said the show is pandering to the LGBTQ+ community because they include us.
@@robertjackson3552 Exactly! It’s just my family is very anti-LGBTQ+ while at the same time they say they’re supportive in the face of anyone other than me. In their eyes only the L, G and B exist, the rest are doing it for attention or make stuff up. Which shows how much they don’t accept me, a genderfluid ace who may be aromantic as well.
applies to romance too! i really wish people would mention that romance really isn’t necessary to have a good life. - sincerely, arospec girl who felt really broken at one time
I came out as panromantic asexual to my grandma casually while we were at the zoo, and as I was explaining it to her she got really excited and said "It has a name?! That's totally me!" (referring to the asexual bit) with the biggest smile on her face. Thinking back on that moment just makes me so happy.
the one with the grandma realizing she's ace really spoke to me. for the longest time, I thought that I *couldn't* be ace because I felt like I didn't belong. I never had the definitive thought that I was broken, but I did really vibe with the song "Somebody to Love" by Queen. I thought that I *needed* someone to love because they would be my "other half" and that I was just too young and didn't know that much about myself, and then I realized that, 1) romantic and sexual attraction aren't the same thing, 2) It's never too young to know yourself, and 3) I don't need an "other half" because I am a whole person on my own and no one can change that. I don't need somebody to love that isn't myself because I am the only one who will know that, and I'm not just another straight teenager trying to be a special snowflake. Anybod who says otherwise can meet the wrong end of a sword. hashtag stop fake pockets
Omg, I never questioned myself and basically understood all that instinctually about myself, but my mom didn't get it for like, 2 years and she understands EVERYTHING. Once she got it though, she got all excited and kept saying "When me and your dad were your age we kept looking for someone to make us complete" and I was like "WOW. I knew she'd get it. Maybe a little late, but that's not her fault."
Thanks it means a lot as an aroace thirteen year old ( just turned ) who is questioned by others , but more often by myself ( hashtag stop fake pockets )
@@GrkTheGrk Yes people tend to quickly write me of as the asexual introvert and be surprised when I’m really the panromantic ambivert trickster who is deceptively stronger that I look and a Black Belt in Karate. Sewing harmless chaos across the land.
Oh god that's me right there. Like, I had a feeling, but I was just like nah. I'm sure a lot of people feel like this. But no. It turns out I was feeling something entirely different
I always tear up when I hear about older aces discovering themselves and finally feeling valid. Ace visibility is very important, don't let the aphobes pretend like the struggle is only about pain and suffering, when a lot of it is invalidation and mockery.
To all the disabled aces out there: *you're valid!* Don't listen to people who say you're just calling yourself ace because you're insecure due to your disability or because of you can't find a partner or because disabled people have a lower level of libido or any of that bulls--t. You being asexual is valid regardless of how ideal and desirable people around you find you. Happy Pride 💜♠️💚
Figuring out I was Ace was incredibly difficult. It’s you know you are different, but not sure why. Not being sexually attracted is sort of like not being able to see ultraviolet. You know it’s there, but you need some sort of gizmo to point it out.
@@Lukecash2 I figured out I'm aroace extremely late (+25 yo) exactly because I'm disabled. No-one ever really believed I just completely lacked that sort of interest on anyone, but my "unluck in love" was always primarly explained by my disability (even by myself). Eventually I just realized that doesn't seem like an comprehensive explanation, since I didn't even feel like I missed anything, started to look up "lack of interest" online and finally found AVEN. My disability, compined with the ace-erasure, kept me from questioning my sexuality and figuring things out.
As a disabled pansexual I can confirm that that thing about disabled people is a myth, and my asexual headmates are checking valid as is everyone who's not trapped in this flesh prison.
I was 36 when I finally realized that I am ace. It was a truly freeing moment when I finally understood what I have been feeling my whole life. I look back and think that I really should have known sooner, but back then I didn't understand what asexuality was. And now everything makes so much more sense. I really envy this new generation of kids who get to learn about all the different sexual and romantic orientations at such a young age. When I was a teenager, you were either straight, gay, or bi. Not everyone fits into those boxes. The reason why more teens are coming out as ace now than ever before isn't because it's some kind of trendy new fad. It's because the information is available and accessible now more than it ever has been before.
My friends looked at me funny when I said I wanted to "Netflix and Chill" with them. Then the cleverest among them said "Hey, do you mean watching netflix and hanging out on the couch?" and I'm like "yeah, why?". That day, I learned it was a euphemism for adult fun time and nearly died blushing. Also, hashtag stop fake pockets! Pockets should be on everything and are objectively the best!
Right? You could say you were almost any other sexuality and people would be like: oh...okay? But then you DARE UTTER THE ANCIENT WORDS OF THE ASEXUAL...and then 75% of the population says wtf and leaves...
I honestly did not get Netflix and Chill for the longest time. I had no idea why it seemed like such an important or desirable thing. It was just like when you used to get together with some friends and watch movies and such but with a new platform. And then I learned what the chill meant, and the algebra started flying around to figure out what about sex was chill. I thought it was supposed to be all sweaty and passionate and physically demanding and stuff. And you want to do that while watching movies? What if you miss something important to the plot?!?!?
I'm glad I wan't the only confused one. Even when I didn't even realize tha I was ace, I didn't understand the meaning. Just chilling and watching movies/TV shows.
Enough with all that false advertising! That's why I will never go in another attractive person's house! There's a very different mood between watching movies all night and dun diddly doo, and if you promise one, you better deliver.
Questioning whether asexuals are or are not lgbt is a waste of everyones time. Reducing the lgbt+ experience to sex and sex /alone/ is incredibly gross. You don't get it? That's fine. I didn't understand my own gender for 21 years. It takes very little effort to do your research instead of being cruel to people who need your help. Lashing out against asexuals because you don't understand and feel like they don't belong makes you no better than homophobes and transphobes who mock gay or trans people because they don't understand and don't want to learn.
Also, how does this _not_ pertain to sex? We DON'T want it! Therefore it's still on topic. It's still a different form of attraction. We have four basic types: Different, Same, Both/All, and...None. Tada!
@@robinchesterfield42 plus there's different kinds of attraction to different qualities. Attraction to genders is important (if that wasn't obvious) but it's what makes the person attracted that I find absolutely FASCINATING.
Not to mention the hypocritical phrases asexuals get from within the community like "your sexuality isn't a real thing" "you haven't met the right person yet/you're not old enough to know" "your sexuality doesn't make you special" etc. And it gets more than just insults saying aces arent oppressed so they don't deserve to be in the community. The oppression Olympics gotta stop. It is such a weird thing to say to someone who also had to struggle with their identity and needed a community to feel less alone about it.. I also don't get why people assume ace people don't have any issues when it takes 10 mins of research to find that ace people deal with "corrective" r*pe and conversion therapy and the "debate" of if asexuality is real or a mental disorder. Which sounds pretty similar to other queer experiences to me..
I was in my 60s before I realised I was ACE. I'd tried being 'normal' and had 2 kids. Spent 17 years in a same sex relationship - of which 15 years were without physical intimacy, because I just couldn't. Like I say, I was in my 60s when I finally understood. I didn't know there was such a thing!
A lot of us didn't have the right words to define us when we were younger. Glad we finally have more awareness, visibility, and more inclusive terminology nowadays 🎉 yay
I found OT videos a few days ago (and already love them), and I just understood that: - OT hates fake pockets - OT wants a cat - OT wants a dog - OT loves people (mainly, Human 1) Because he says these in ✨EVERY✨SINGLE✨VIDEO✨AND✨I✨AM✨NOT✨COMPLAINING
My mother asked me if I liked men or women. Without missing a beat, I said, "I like cats and garlic bread." I think that was the point where she realized she's not getting any grandkids.
"They're trying to employ psychological warfare by deploying battalions of incredibly attractive people against us. Good thing weve got a few aces up our sleeve."
I KNOW, RIGHT? I mean, I figured out what it _actually_ meant fairly soon from context, but...dangit, can't we use words that mean the right things? Netflix and _chill_ sounds like: Two people hangin' out watchin' some cool stuff together. Netflix and..."chill"... ;) means: Come on over to my house so we can bang while the TV happens to be on in the background. What if I legit just want to watch a cool show with someone without that also meaning: of course your clothes are also going to come off? We need a phrase that actually means "watch TV and hang out", but with cooler, slangier words. :P
My (former) friends used to say it all the time and I pretended to know what they were talking about. It took me 2 years to figure out on my own what it meant.

Granted, not everyone who attends those conventions are nice, but a vast majority will accept everyone. I hope I was able to help you out! 😃
Can I just say that as an Ace I really love people in suits! Everybody can look good in a suit! also dresses!! A good fitting dress or suit really can make anyone look amazing!
I love how El Dorado has become the default response for aces and enbies when they're told that being a man or woman with sexual attraction is part of being human.
Being Aego is fun because I get to enjoy the adult fun in my head, but then get very confused when people are applying it to *themselves* and I’m like holdup. Allo: “That person is hot” Aego: “Yeah” Allo: “Oh the things I’d let them do to me” Aego: “Wait why are you inserting yourself into this scenario where did that come from”
1) Yes stop fake pocket 2) the grandma one made me cry cause I still feel broken as an ace 3) as an ace person who makes clothing I agree. People look their best when they are in an outfit that suits them
Hey, I'm just here to remind you that you're valid as heck, and I support you. You're not broken for being ace, even if society acts like you are. I hope that you feel validated and comfortable being your authentic self, or if not, I hope that things get better. -A random stranger on the internet
Actually, there is a theoretical outfit that, if you wear it, makes you look the best you could ever look. (and because all of this looking, you would still find an imperfection)
Don't say "I'm Asexual." - It's bland - It makes it sound like you have a condition, or are "weird." - A lot of people misunderstand what it actually means. Instead, say "Your feminine wiles hold no sway over me" - It's badass - It's a benefit, not a flaw - It leaves less room for ambiguity
@@kissit012 I've done that a few times without _meaning_ to...usually when I'm looking pathetically at something up high on a store shelf (I'm like, 5'1" rounding up), and a tall dude will come along and be like "Oh, can I get something for you?" XD
As an aroace, my idea of a good date night would be curling up on the couch and watching lord of the rings together. No sex, no romance, just two people screaming lord of the rings trivia over the speakers around mouthfuls of food
I experience both forms of attraction and that’s also my ideal date night- Maybe not lord of the rings, but just sitting down and goofing off in front of the tv? Yes.
Yes! I wish I had someone who'd share a blanket on the couch with me while we watch movies. I get extremely cuddly when I'm tired or comfy and it's a serious crime that I can't curl up to someone without worrying they'll see it as something romantic
I feel that being LGBTQ+ is often considered as "attention seeking teen" thing. But just like the elderly ace lady in the video my Dad came out as non-binary some months ago and it is really important for them because they suffer a lot from people thinking they're a man. (I asked, they're still okay with the Dad-label.)
I hope things will get easier for your dad, being seen as someone you are not is never easy. And trying to be what you really are is not attention seeking, it is important. I wish you and your family a happy pride month 🌈 (Sorry if i made a lot of mistakes, i'm not native speaker)
It is frustrating how those kind of people assume being queer and gender fluid/ nonconforming is only "popular" because of kids on the internet. And not recognizing it as the amount of people that were oppressed in previous generations. Nothing is a new concept they are just new terms and communities.
Almost all teenagers want to feel special, that’s why most of them jump into relationships (at least that’s how it seems to me) but identifying as ace isn’t that same thing. looking for good friends who care about you, looking for fun things to do, and enjoying life are all things that asexual people do to feel special, just like everyone else. They just don’t usually have a sexual (and/or romantic in the case of aromantic people) on the list of things that make them feel special
I've been lost in the woods for awhile now. Adjusting to being a single mum, living with a chronic illness/disability, not knowing when my heart will be healed enough to let a new partner in if/when I meet them, and also trying to get out of the house to meet new people. OT your channel is my stopover before bed so I can go to sleep with wholesomeness and joy on my mind. 💗🧡💛💚💙💜 thankyou for reminding me to appreciate that right now matters too, even if I don't always notice the good times.
Just recently realized i’m (in complicated terms lol) homoromantic asexual, and it’s so wild to finally understand why the idea of sex just made me wanna throw a fridge. For like years i knew that there was a difference between romantic and sexual attraction but i completely didn’t understand it. Now i know that i don’t experience sexual attraction and these vids are really validating!
11:30 I couldn't help but laugh at this because this is exactly what happened to me. A friend and I got "lost" in the woods during a birthday party (which wasn't really getting lost because we stayed on a linear path we just went too far on it). And for some reason, despite literally being on a path that could take us back to civilization, I kinda freaked out. Now it's one of my favorite memories.
My favourite part of any Pride parade is the section ”Marching for those who can’t”. It’s such a strong message and a reminder that there’s a lot of work left to do regarding equality in some parts of the world. 🏳️🌈
I used to think that someday be “old enough” to feel that sort of attraction, you videos have really helped me realize that I don't feel that attraction, and that's okay. :)
8:19 made me feel so emotional 😭✨ Just came out ace a couple of days ago! I’m in my 30s but I cannot express how freeing it’s felt to finally not feel broken~ It means a lot to me… I’ve been questioning my identity lately and never considered I would be doing that at my age… I thought I was meant to have it all figured out but looks like I’m going on an adventure 🥰
I didn't figure it out till about 3 years into my marriage. I had never heard of asexual before that. People still try to tell me there's something wrong with me but now I know who I really am and am happy with myself. It really is a relief
I totally get this. I started thinking I might be ace in my early 20s but it took me until this year (age 27) to finally come to terms with it for real. I kept thinking about how much easier life would be if I could just be “normal” until someone close to me said “you ARE normal”. You’re so spot on about it being freeing. I never thought it would feel as good as it does.
Ace is valid Grace is valid Aro is valid Demi is valid AroAce is valid Aegos are valid Cupios are valid Recipro is valid Allo is valid Those are the only 8 I know, but: You. Are. Valid.
12:00 Oh my glob! My sister and I were talking about people in suits less than a week ago! I see myself as bi romantic, she sees herself as lesbian. I brought up "if you can't appreciate a person in a suit (in a non-sexual way, she's 13) are you even human?!" and she totally agrees!!
You are the reason I was able to figure myself out. I was watching your video where they described the asexuality spectrum as if it were cereal, then it gets to aegosexual. I'm 42 years old, watching you with my kids, and I was crying because I just realized there are others like me. That I'm not broken.
This comment is due to a video I just watched from a few months ago, but I wanted to put it here to increase the chance of it being said. You said that you might not have much experience to offer because you are just a straight guy reading memes on the internet, but that doesn't matter. I am gay and when I first came out, there wasn't a great response, but things have gotten better. Just because you have not been through it, that does not mean that you have not had your own experiences, good and bad, that can still be used as teaching moments or experiences for you to use to help others. Everyone has their own experiences and even if they are not the same, they are still valid and can still be used to further understanding of each other and to possibly give you even some sort of insight into what others might be going through.
I was 34 years when I figured out that I'm non-binary, and it changed my life to the better. I finally felt comfortable with myself. You're never. NEVER. to old to figure yourself out. Happy Pride everyone.
My D&D group has two DMs that take turns running campaigns so every other week they switch. They are asexual and aromantic and control whether our characters live or die. I am amongst gods.
Love your videos dude, been binging it for a bit now. I've been in way too many lgbtqia+ streams, discords and subreddits in the past few weeks just showing support, and i have to be honest... they are changing me. They have actually made me question my life.
by his own reconing he's heterosexual but i get that. as a fellow het i can tell you not being turned on by the same sex doesn't mean ya can't understand the appeal on paper.
No. Romantic relationships don’t have anything to do with sex. The two can intersect, but they aren’t inherently connected. Asexuals can still want romantic relationships, like myself. I’m sorry if this comes off as rude, but this is a misconception that many asexuals are tired of seeing.
I feel so sad that the 60-year old mom went through life for so long not knowing about asexuality.. If I hadn't had tumblr I'd still walk around thinking I was broken or something was wrong. Knowing she found out makes me happy though.
2:38, No joke, I just discovered one of my aro/ace friends is like this. I was trying to find funny bisexual-asexual best friend TikToks to show him and I found one captioned “When you try to teach your asexual friend the alphabet” and when the person points at the A she goes “Why are you taking your clothes off?” I thought it was funny so I sent it to him. He made the entirety of r/whoosh look like they fully understand every joke, as I had to explain EVERY ASPECT OF THE JOKE 💀 He finally understood everything once I said the person teaching the alphabet wasn’t the asexual, and he’s accepted that this is our new inside joke
You're asexual or part of the ace spectrum? Well, welcome to the community, we have cake, garlic bread, pasta and lots of support. Fair warning, we do tell many MANY dad jokes (both accidentally and intentionally, you can't escape them) ACE PRIDE 🖤🤍💜🎂
The dad jokes are a rite of passage, as is the garlic bread. Which means my partner skipped half of that so I had to make up for the lack of puns, but we do go thru garlic bread like mad though.
Oof that last one just made me cry. It's hard to not have yourself figured out and feeling like you belong nowhere. Thanks for making these videos, they kinda make me feel included a little bit.
lmao netflix and chill is how i lost who, until then, had been my best male friend. what he proposed: "star wars and chill?" what i thought he meant: "want me to come over with snacks, we can watch old culture classics in our pjs" what he thought i understood: "wanna bump uglies?"
I mean, is someone really ready to have sex if they’re using euphemisms/speaking in code? Unless the other person finds speaking in code sexy, a person should just be upfront about what they want. Also, someone saying yes to sex doesn’t mean anything goes, so clear communication is still super important!!! brooooo what was he thinking. (sorry you lost a friend (; - ;) hope you make better ones)
young me: *loves food and considers self a foodie* slightly older me: *realizes they're Asexual* current me: *sees the copious amounts of food related memes in the Ace community and is surprised it took me so long to realize I'm Ace* "oohhhhhh.... ya those dots should've connected a lot sooner"
4:05 THANK YOU! Not ace by any means, but seriously, it's like love and sex (or the lack thereof) are the only stories worth writing radio songs for I'm like "DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY OF MY OCs NEED THEME SONGS!? They can't use your love, sex and heartbreak crap!"

the one with the grandma realizing she's ace really spoke to me. for the longest time, I thought that I *couldn't* be ace because I felt like I didn't belong. I never had the definitive thought that I was broken, but I did really vibe with the song "Somebody to Love" by Queen. I thought that I *needed* someone to love because they would be my "other half" and that I was just too young and didn't know that much about myself, and then I realized that, 1) romantic and sexual attraction aren't the same thing, 2) It's never too young to know yourself, and 3) I don't need an "other half" because I am a whole person on my own and no one can change that. I don't need somebody to love that isn't myself because I am the only one who will know that, and I'm not just another straight teenager trying to be a special snowflake. Anybod who says otherwise can meet the wrong end of a sword.

This really meant a lot to me. It's a great message you're spending, thank you 💙💚
Also, HashtagStopFakePockets 😂
Omg, I never questioned myself and basically understood all that instinctually about myself, but my mom didn't get it for like, 2 years and she understands EVERYTHING. Once she got it though, she got all excited and kept saying "When me and your dad were your age we kept looking for someone to make us complete" and I was like "WOW. I knew she'd get it. Maybe a little late, but that's not her fault."
Thanks it means a lot as an aroace thirteen year old ( just turned ) who is questioned by others , but more often by myself ( hashtag stop fake pockets )

I always tear up when I hear about older aces discovering themselves and finally feeling valid. Ace visibility is very important, don't let the aphobes pretend like the struggle is only about pain and suffering, when a lot of it is invalidation and mockery.
To all the disabled aces out there: *you're valid!* Don't listen to people who say you're just calling yourself ace because you're insecure due to your disability or because of you can't find a partner or because disabled people have a lower level of libido or any of that bulls--t. You being asexual is valid regardless of how ideal and desirable people around you find you. Happy Pride 💜♠️💚
ALL ACES ARE VALID NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!! DONT LISTEN TO THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
💜 I needed this, thank you
Figuring out I was Ace was incredibly difficult. It’s you know you are different, but not sure why. Not being sexually attracted is sort of like not being able to see ultraviolet. You know it’s there, but you need some sort of gizmo to point it out.
@@Lukecash2 I figured out I'm aroace extremely late (+25 yo) exactly because I'm disabled. No-one ever really believed I just completely lacked that sort of interest on anyone, but my "unluck in love" was always primarly explained by my disability (even by myself). Eventually I just realized that doesn't seem like an comprehensive explanation, since I didn't even feel like I missed anything, started to look up "lack of interest" online and finally found AVEN. My disability, compined with the ace-erasure, kept me from questioning my sexuality and figuring things out.
As a disabled pansexual I can confirm that that thing about disabled people is a myth, and my asexual headmates are checking valid as is everyone who's not trapped in this flesh prison.
OT, dad jokes is a *huge* part of the ace agenda
Along with bad puns 😌
Don't forget cake and garlic bread

Please don't forget the main agenda is world domination
I love all the puns and dad jokes, seriously :'D Glad it's an ace thing! And that "ace" is so easy to pun xD
I was 36 when I finally realized that I am ace. It was a truly freeing moment when I finally understood what I have been feeling my whole life. I look back and think that I really should have known sooner, but back then I didn't understand what asexuality was. And now everything makes so much more sense. I really envy this new generation of kids who get to learn about all the different sexual and romantic orientations at such a young age. When I was a teenager, you were either straight, gay, or bi. Not everyone fits into those boxes. The reason why more teens are coming out as ace now than ever before isn't because it's some kind of trendy new fad. It's because the information is available and accessible now more than it ever has been before.

Yeah… I mean, who would expect “Netflix and chill” to mean sex and not actually watching Netflix and chilling?!
As someone who's ace, I feel like we dont get recognised as much so I always get so excited whenever I see things like this :D
Right? You could say you were almost any other sexuality and people would be like: oh...okay? But then you DARE UTTER THE ANCIENT WORDS OF THE ASEXUAL...and then 75% of the population says wtf and leaves...
Internet: “Netflix and chill is the new big thing”
Me: 😃
Internet: “is code for doing the dun diddly doo”
Me: 😒
I honestly did not get Netflix and Chill for the longest time. I had no idea why it seemed like such an important or desirable thing. It was just like when you used to get together with some friends and watch movies and such but with a new platform.
And then I learned what the chill meant, and the algebra started flying around to figure out what about sex was chill. I thought it was supposed to be all sweaty and passionate and physically demanding and stuff. And you want to do that while watching movies? What if you miss something important to the plot?!?!?
I'm glad I wan't the only confused one. Even when I didn't even realize tha I was ace, I didn't understand the meaning. Just chilling and watching movies/TV shows.
Dun Diddy doo my new favorite term for adult fun time XD
True
Enough with all that false advertising!
That's why I will never go in another attractive person's house!
There's a very different mood between watching movies all night and dun diddly doo, and if you promise one, you better deliver.
Questioning whether asexuals are or are not lgbt is a waste of everyones time. Reducing the lgbt+ experience to sex and sex /alone/ is incredibly gross. You don't get it? That's fine. I didn't understand my own gender for 21 years. It takes very little effort to do your research instead of being cruel to people who need your help. Lashing out against asexuals because you don't understand and feel like they don't belong makes you no better than homophobes and transphobes who mock gay or trans people because they don't understand and don't want to learn.
I call those types phobic-pleasers because all they do is validate a phobics disgusting mantra.
Also, how does this _not_ pertain to sex? We DON'T want it! Therefore it's still on topic. It's still a different form of attraction. We have four basic types: Different, Same, Both/All, and...None. Tada!
@@robinchesterfield42 plus there's different kinds of attraction to different qualities. Attraction to genders is important (if that wasn't obvious) but it's what makes the person attracted that I find absolutely FASCINATING.
This is an underrated comment.
Not to mention the hypocritical phrases asexuals get from within the community like "your sexuality isn't a real thing" "you haven't met the right person yet/you're not old enough to know" "your sexuality doesn't make you special" etc. And it gets more than just insults saying aces arent oppressed so they don't deserve to be in the community. The oppression Olympics gotta stop. It is such a weird thing to say to someone who also had to struggle with their identity and needed a community to feel less alone about it..
I also don't get why people assume ace people don't have any issues when it takes 10 mins of research to find that ace people deal with "corrective" r*pe and conversion therapy and the "debate" of if asexuality is real or a mental disorder. Which sounds pretty similar to other queer experiences to me..

I was in my 60s before I realised I was ACE. I'd tried being 'normal' and had 2 kids. Spent 17 years in a same sex relationship - of which 15 years were without physical intimacy, because I just couldn't. Like I say, I was in my 60s when I finally understood. I didn't know there was such a thing!

I should have know I was asexual earlier when I thought Netflix and chill was literal.
I KNOW, RIGHT? I mean, I figured out what it _actually_ meant fairly soon from context, but...dangit, can't we use words that mean the right things? Netflix and _chill_ sounds like: Two people hangin' out watchin' some cool stuff together. Netflix and..."chill"... ;) means: Come on over to my house so we can bang while the TV happens to be on in the background.
What if I legit just want to watch a cool show with someone without that also meaning: of course your clothes are also going to come off? We need a phrase that actually means "watch TV and hang out", but with cooler, slangier words. :P

Ooh . . . Neat story, and nice username.
It is frustrating how those kind of people assume being queer and gender fluid/ nonconforming is only "popular" because of kids on the internet. And not recognizing it as the amount of people that were oppressed in previous generations. Nothing is a new concept they are just new terms and communities.
Almost all teenagers want to feel special, that’s why most of them jump into relationships (at least that’s how it seems to me) but identifying as ace isn’t that same thing. looking for good friends who care about you, looking for fun things to do, and enjoying life are all things that asexual people do to feel special, just like everyone else. They just don’t usually have a sexual (and/or romantic in the case of aromantic people) on the list of things that make them feel special

For like years i knew that there was a difference between romantic and sexual attraction but i completely didn’t understand it. Now i know that i don’t experience sexual attraction and these vids are really validating!
That's awesome my dude, I'm glad you're able to understand yourself and be happy with everything.

♤Welcome to the ace gang!!♤
I appreciate that OT does so many Asexual videos because it's so hard to find any content at all and it's better cos this is beautiful content too
11:30 I couldn't help but laugh at this because this is exactly what happened to me. A friend and I got "lost" in the woods during a birthday party (which wasn't really getting lost because we stayed on a linear path we just went too far on it). And for some reason, despite literally being on a path that could take us back to civilization, I kinda freaked out. Now it's one of my favorite memories.
My favourite part of any Pride parade is the section ”Marching for those who can’t”. It’s such a strong message and a reminder that there’s a lot of work left to do regarding equality in some parts of the world. 🏳️🌈

I used to think that someday be “old enough” to feel that sort of attraction, you videos have really helped me realize that I don't feel that attraction, and that's okay. :)
8:19 made me feel so emotional 😭✨
Just came out ace a couple of days ago! I’m in my 30s but I cannot express how freeing it’s felt to finally not feel broken~
It means a lot to me… I’ve been questioning my identity lately and never considered I would be doing that at my age… I thought I was meant to have it all figured out but looks like I’m going on an adventure 🥰
I didn't figure it out till about 3 years into my marriage. I had never heard of asexual before that. People still try to tell me there's something wrong with me but now I know who I really am and am happy with myself. It really is a relief
I totally get this. I started thinking I might be ace in my early 20s but it took me until this year (age 27) to finally come to terms with it for real. I kept thinking about how much easier life would be if I could just be “normal” until someone close to me said “you ARE normal”. You’re so spot on about it being freeing. I never thought it would feel as good as it does.

You are the reason I was able to figure myself out. I was watching your video where they described the asexuality spectrum as if it were cereal, then it gets to aegosexual.

OH no.... Not worth of test. Would eighter become murderer or spend rest of live running from immortal being!
Is anyone else really surprised when OT cringes at dad jokes? As the internet's adopted dad I thought that would be exactly his sort of humor : )
This comment is due to a video I just watched from a few months ago, but I wanted to put it here to increase the chance of it being said. You said that you might not have much experience to offer because you are just a straight guy reading memes on the internet, but that doesn't matter. I am gay and when I first came out, there wasn't a great response, but things have gotten better. Just because you have not been through it, that does not mean that you have not had your own experiences, good and bad, that can still be used as teaching moments or experiences for you to use to help others. Everyone has their own experiences and even if they are not the same, they are still valid and can still be used to further understanding of each other and to possibly give you even some sort of insight into what others might be going through.
I was 34 years when I figured out that I'm non-binary, and it changed my life to the better. I finally felt comfortable with myself.
You're never. NEVER. to old to figure yourself out.
Happy Pride everyone.
My D&D group has two DMs that take turns running campaigns so every other week they switch. They are asexual and aromantic and control whether our characters live or die. I am amongst gods.

No. Romantic relationships don’t have anything to do with sex. The two can intersect, but they aren’t inherently connected. Asexuals can still want romantic relationships, like myself. I’m sorry if this comes off as rude, but this is a misconception that many asexuals are tired of seeing.
@@Lightnin4 No, that's not rude at all! Thank you for the insight.
ok im now gonna call sexual relationships fleshships because it appeals to my deadass gore obsessed brain.
I feel so sad that the 60-year old mom went through life for so long not knowing about asexuality..
If I hadn't had tumblr I'd still walk around thinking I was broken or something was wrong. Knowing she found out makes me happy though.
2:38, No joke, I just discovered one of my aro/ace friends is like this. I was trying to find funny bisexual-asexual best friend TikToks to show him and I found one captioned “When you try to teach your asexual friend the alphabet” and when the person points at the A she goes “Why are you taking your clothes off?” I thought it was funny so I sent it to him. He made the entirety of r/whoosh look like they fully understand every joke, as I had to explain EVERY ASPECT OF THE JOKE 💀 He finally understood everything once I said the person teaching the alphabet wasn’t the asexual, and he’s accepted that this is our new inside joke
You're asexual or part of the ace spectrum? Well, welcome to the community, we have cake, garlic bread, pasta and lots of support. Fair warning, we do tell many MANY dad jokes (both accidentally and intentionally, you can't escape them)
ACE PRIDE 🖤🤍💜🎂
The dad jokes are a rite of passage, as is the garlic bread. Which means my partner skipped half of that so I had to make up for the lack of puns, but we do go thru garlic bread like mad though.
I'm sort of disappointed when I know he didn't get any more dad joke that day. Dad jokes are just acespec culture.
Is there instant noodles? I’m down.
I dunno what I am, but I will definitely (quietly) crash this party - it sounds amazing.
@@celesteshearts I'll make ya fresh ramen if you wanna! even vegan if necessary! Aces go places lol✨
OT's laugh is actually so cute it makes me smile instantly
same.
also I love your pfp
Oof that last one just made me cry. It's hard to not have yourself figured out and feeling like you belong nowhere. Thanks for making these videos, they kinda make me feel included a little bit.
i love how he turns every meme into a lecture but in a non-parent way, he makes it interesting and wholesome
lmao netflix and chill is how i lost who, until then, had been my best male friend.
what he proposed: "star wars and chill?"
what i thought he meant: "want me to come over with snacks, we can watch old culture classics in our pjs"
what he thought i understood: "wanna bump uglies?"
I mean, is someone really ready to have sex if they’re using euphemisms/speaking in code? Unless the other person finds speaking in code sexy, a person should just be upfront about what they want. Also, someone saying yes to sex doesn’t mean anything goes, so clear communication is still super important!!! brooooo what was he thinking.
(sorry you lost a friend (; - ;) hope you make better ones)
I didn’t realize how much I was ignoring my emotions until One topic at 11:23 and I just started bawling my eyes out.
young me: *loves food and considers self a foodie*
slightly older me: *realizes they're Asexual*
current me: *sees the copious amounts of food related memes in the Ace community and is surprised it took me so long to realize I'm Ace* "oohhhhhh.... ya those dots should've connected a lot sooner"
Garlic bread is love, Garlic bread is life
And cake. Can’t forget the cake!
Pizza
Day 13 of saying this member of the Alphabet Mafia appreciates the LGBTQIA+ Memes you put out, Thank you
Also all the aces are amazing, love y'all
4:05 THANK YOU! Not ace by any means, but seriously, it's like love and sex (or the lack thereof) are the only stories worth writing radio songs for
I'm like
"DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY OF MY OCs NEED THEME SONGS!? They can't use your love, sex and heartbreak crap!"
I'm a closeted ace, and after this video I just had to make garlic bread
