[ 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?

Except the others concern the sex/gender of the people you're attracted to. Hetero=opposite, homo=same, bi=two, pan=all, a=none. "Demi" is not a sex or gender. If anything, it's a subcategory of one of the others, but it's not an actual orientation in and of itself.

Just to add, that's not to say it can't be useful as a label, but it's not really the same as hetero-/homo-/bi-/pan-/asexual.

I don't disagree; personally, I think it might be better to classify it is a subset of asexuality. But like I said, we're not getting another word for it anytime soon.

I'm not sure that makes sense, either, since "a" means none/no/without. I would think it would make more sense as a subcategory of straight/bi/gay/pan depending on what sex/gender they were attracted to when they were attracted to someone.

That's also a possibility, although given the potential infrequency of a demisexual's sexual attraction, it might be difficult to determine which they fall into.
