The drive to declare characters as "asexual" is driven by lonely nerds who are too terrified to ask anyone out, and too damn unpleasant for anyone to say yes to even if they did. Its sort of a validation of their enforced sexuality. They aren't throwing all their energy into a nerdy pastime taken up to extremes out of blue-balls, they are "asexual" just like how they head-canon some fictional character. They aren't not getting any due to their own terror and insecurity, no not at all; it is because they are "asexual".

Freud san pls

perfect answer is perfect.

Ha!

*this corner of the peanut gallery is thoroughly amused*

You won the thread.

No he did not. ill_omened is not allowed to win threads.

He did tho.

DA

Your claim is without merit. Ill_omened won the thread.

I demand a popular vote with a 3/4 majority.

All in favor of ill_omened winning the thread say yay.

Naysayers you know what to do.

Yay.

This is silly.

... Yay.

Oh my god, no. I'm mostly joking.

Don't worry, so am I. <3

Hi. Asexual. Occasionally has sex. Just not interested in it.

Nothing to do with being socially awkward.

Of course not. Being asexual has nothing to do with being socially inept. Claiming tt be asexual on the internet on the other hand...

I kind of agree with you. If it were less common in fandom, I'd doubt your diagnosis but, seriously, some of the "sexuality" threads here are like 70% asexual, which seems totally statistically wrong.

Well, sometimes it seems like a third of the internet population is trans*, too.

DA

I'd be careful about agreeing with anyone who's a) claiming that asexuality is mostly an excuse, and b) dancing around the words "enforced abstinence."

Not to mention taking it for granted that a random kmeme commenter is male, cowardly, undesirable, and faking their sexual orientation. That's already a pile of iffy, toxic fandom stereotypes.

Skewed population, though. I mean, online, almost all my friends are bi women or lesbians plus a few gender neutral people and an asexual woman. IRL, a few lesbians but almost all straight women. It's great to get online and talk to other lesbians, but if you went by my flist you'd think that there were almost no straight people in fandom.

Asexual here who is in fandom, but has had plenty of opportunities to 'get some' and just didn't want to.

Asexual here. I have had sex before and I could have pretty much all the sex I wanted - I'm a conventionally attractive, cute-as-hell girl living in my city's Student Central. I could have unlimited sex. Just all of the sex. And having lots of sex wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, I guess. But, I'm just not really interested in sex. I don't want it, don't need it, don't desire it or crave it. My being asexual isn't because of a lack of access, it's a lack of desire. I mean, I could also go out into my garden and eat all the grass there, it's pretty much unlimited, but I just don't want it. Same principle.
