...I kinda agree, but it's more of an unavoidable subconscious thing.

Like really? You think you need a special term for actually wanting to have feelings for the people you screw? You think this is uncommon enough to warrant a special name?

It's one of those terms people use to feel oppressed when they're usually quite privileged. Because we as a culture have developed a simplistic worldview where everyone is either oppressed or an oppressor with nothing in between and no grey areas, so the only way to be one of the good guys is to find a categorization that someone, somewhere might dislike you somewhat for, because being a good person isn't good enough.

But you shouldn't stop respecting them, because a lot of them have good intentions. They think if they don't specifically parse it someone will yell at them. Or it just makes it easier to avoid creepers online.

+1, especially about respecting them and their intentions. Like all identity labels it's a reflection of your culture and there's no point harshing someone's culture on the grounds that the medium of it is tumblr. What do you hope they're going to do, stop using the word?

I feel like, the real problem is that we've swung from being a society that expects all women to be asexual to being a society that expects all women to have the libido of an 18-year-old boy. So the 95% of people (again, this wordculture is mostly specific to women on the internet) who are neither of those things are sometimes a bit at sea and some of them want a word to describe where they are.

My only issue with demisexuality is the fact that it's not an actual sexual orientation, but rather a phenomenon that masks sexual orientation (ie. it's really damn hard to figure out if you're straight, gay, bi, or otherwise if you only ever experience sexual attraction under uncommonly restricted circumstances).

However, I can definitely say that as an idea it exists, as I was rather surprised to experience it myself. I've identified as nonsexual/asexual since I was in junior high and realized that I was equally unattracted to both girls and boys in general. I shifted into 'I have no idea what the fuck I am' in my 20s because I developed a hypothetical interest in having sex some day just to see what it was like, but still lacked the interest or drive to actually pursue a relationship with anyone sexually or romantically... Then I developed a crush on a friend, and she reciprocated, and I started developing urges for intimacy that started as just a want to cuddle or hold hands and then BAM! Out of nowhere, she became the first person I've ever felt sexual attraction to.

I don't identify as demisexual, though. I still mostly consider myself 'I have no idea what the fuck I am', though, because for whatever reason I feel kind of weird and appropriative identifying as a lesbian when so far it's only one woman that I've ever been sexually attracted to?

It's not really something I bring up outside of conversations like these, though, because I don't really give a fuck about my sexuality beyond knowing that I'm in love with my girlfriend.

haha, as someone who probably qualifies as "demisexual" according to Tumblr, I agree. I think it's really silly.

Or it just makes it easier to avoid creepers online.

I never thought about this, huh. Good point.
