Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

http://tapastic.com/episode/108969

(it's about asexuality and it's really short.)

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

lol i can't take this seriously at all

it's like asexual angst: why am I not a sexual minority: a comic

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

fuck right off

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

I gotta agree.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

hahaha mte

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

It's so hard for me to take this seriously. Even with the nice art, it looks like it was written by a 13 year old emo kid.

Not to belittle anyone's problems but this style is just so 3edgy5me.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

Same. As someone who if forced to choose any sort of sexual label would probably have to go with asexual, it seems very... NO ONE UNDERSTAAAANDS MEEEEEE.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[solticisekf]

huh, a rather abrupt ending.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[case]

This is pretty unrealistic as far as my experiences go.

I'd believe "Wow, really? Like never?" and "Maybe you just haven't met the right person?" and "Oh no, is it a condition or something, I'm so sorry / are you sure you're not just gay?" but no one has ever stormed off in disgust. Most people are just confused or awkwardly embarrassed.

Then again I've never seen an asexual pride ring either.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[vethica]

Asexual pride rings are a thing, at least in the corners of the asexual community I've been in. Can't speak to the rest.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

This. I've had, "Oh... what does that mean exactly?" and "Are you sure?" and surprised, "Not at all?" But I've never had anyone be more than honestly confused, never rude or ~storming off~ in disgust.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[dahli]

This has bee my experience as well. I've also gotten the "But you can't be asexual! You make a lot of sex jokes/feel comfortable with sex/etc!" from friends.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

...I thought you said once that you were gay. Oops. Sorry (for...thinking wrong).

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

My thought was maybe he had a crush on her and that's why he reacted so strongly, acting as if he were implicitly being rejected.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

The Asexual ring is a thing, but not everyone knows/adheres to it, and it's really just worn as a personal symbol. It's a black band that is worn on the right middle finger...I want to get one for myself eventually :p

I've heard all that, too, with added, 'omg you're such a prude/lying/you're just ugly and need an excuse' stuff.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[feotakahari]

I'll submit one as well. It's part of a larger story, but I read these few strips before reading anything else. Pages 1267 to 1270: http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1267.php

LOL

[raspberryrain]

That one was good.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

Well, the guy was a jerk, but . . . I dunno, that's such a strange reaction to someone saying they're asexual. I get that people would be shocked or confused, but outright disgusted? It could happen, yeah, but I just find it hard to believe.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[dahli]

I like the art, but gotta agree with people here that the story has not been something I've personally experienced. Or at least not in such a dramatic way.

When I came out to friends, they where in shock because like I said up there, I tend to crack a lot of sex jokes and feel comfortable talking and joking about sex. I also got this from a therapist who said that it was not possible for me not to feel desire for someone else because it didn't really "fit". These days whenever someone asks me out or shows any interest in me, I tell them I'm not interested in dating but it becomes annoying when they try to press the matter or try to guilt-trip me into dating them. It sucks and that only makes me distance myself from them.

Ah, sorry this became a bit of a rant. Still very nice comic.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[scrubber]

I know you said it was short but damn I still thought it might actually go somewhere.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

so somebody spreading their mental illness around, right?

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[caerbannog]

The cursive handwriting meant I stopped reading after the grandmother one. Cursive hurts my head.

Nice art and I like the "theme" they're going with the writing on the face. Can someone let me know how it ends? I want to know what the red writing does.

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[diet_poison]

aw. that makes me kind of sad but the ending was sweet. and the art is beautiful! thanks for sharing anon :)

ETA: I kind of want to punch that grandma. what an ass

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

asexuals are so desperate to be oppressed

Re: Just sharing this beauty of a webcomic with you guys

[(Anonymous)]

It's very pretty.

...

But also very preachy. Bigotry is just not that balls-out. This reads like it was written by a teenager who's "So misunderstood, No-one understands my pain and I am all alone and hated!" I get feeling like that, but real bigots just don't act like they do in the heads of these teenagers. People say "Get this shot you might regret not getting it in the future" and they here "You're stupid and wrong and you need to do what you're told!"

But yes very very pretty artwork.
