[ Anon Meme ]

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?

What does the "-sexual" mean? I don't mean that saracastically, I've heard a couple different definitions and no one can seem to agree. And the one that makes the most sense to me, pretty much everyone agrees is wrong.

Idk either. Sexual attraction is what I've heard it used as.

It refers to the sex of the peeople you are attracted to, though in modern usage it can also refer to their gender instead/also. Demisexuals take it to mean fucking, which is nowhere near the correct meaning. Homosexual literally means "of the same sex", and heterosexual means "of the opposite sex" and bisexual "of both sexes", so what does demisexuality mean?

ayrt

That's what I've always thought it meant, and the definition that makes the most sense to me, but I've had so many people say it means fucking, which just...doesn't even make sense if you break down the meanings of the individual parts of the words.
