F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

dildos?

Though male "straight" asexuals(or just not interested in anal stimulation) idk what they mean.

I'm a female asexual who really doesn't like dildos so I guess the joke fell flat for me lol

Wait...what? What the hell does anal stimulation have to do with anything? No one even mentioned that. And why is straight in quotes? Are we now questioning whether straight people even exist?

Re: Demisexual

I think the straight is in quotes because they didn't know what het-romantic was. Meaning straight attraction w/o sexual attraction.

yeah sorry I've never heard of het-romantic! Sorry!

Yep.

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
But I thought the "point" (for lack of a better term) of being asexual was that they weren't interested in any sexual-related things?

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope!

It's a lack of sexual attraction.

You can still get aroused (due to hormones and such). Plenty of asexuals masturbate. They just don't like having sex with other people.

But not all of them, I thought? That person's comment that "they buy batteries in bulk" might be true for some but not all, I would think.

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's different for everyone. Some might have libido, some may not. But people were getting confused over that comment, so.

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
There are degrees of asexuality, if what I've read is anything to go by.

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought in general, asexuals that are not the idiotic, pompous, holier-than-thou assholes were accepted as a real thing?

Re: Demisexual

(Anonymous) 2012-07-29 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol I wish that were the case.

But no.

Still have to defend my identity when it comes up.
Still avoiding areas I know where there'll be nastiness.

I believe in aromantics because I dated one once, unfortunately long before the term became common enough for them to start using it. They initiated sexytiems with me so I spent several months trying to pursue an actual relationship with them before they sat me down and explained why this was not working.

Re: Demisexual

I actually think I might be aromantic. :-( Although I've cared a great deal about people in my life before, I've never been 'in love' with anyone. I'm not even sure I'm capable of falling in love. Romantic things (like flowers, hand-holding, looking into each other's eyes) do nothing/mean nothing for me; I mostly just see them as the bearable work one must put in to keep a relationship, lol. I also don't tie in my enjoyment to sex with how much I love the other person.

I am capable of caring about someone and carrying on a serious long-term relationship, though.

I think I am, too. The idea of being in a romantic relationship is just one big ball of DO NOT WANT for me, and I also don't think sex has anything at all to do with love.
