This. I'm 2Dsexual and I'm so fucking tired of the opression I face every day, with people deniying my sexuality. I can't even tell anyone about my sexuality without people thinking that I'm nuts. Fuck people like OP.

If you honestly wanted to identify as that, I wouldn't care. You're sexuality doesn't effect me. Someone else's sexuality doesn't effect you, so it shouldn't matter what they identify as.

It's AFFECT you illiterate fuck. I hope you don't write fic with that keyboard.

I do not know what that is.

Being attracted to fictional characters.

That's a thing?

I mean, that's a thing unique enough to have it's own term?

Isn't everyone attracted to fictional characters?

da

I am not attracted to fictional characters. I demand a special label.

No? Are you Gay, Straight, Bi, or Ace?

Three of the four, depending on the day.

You can stick any label on yourself you like. You can claim any sexual identity that you like. Go for it.

But if somebody wants me to identify with a character in their fic, they aren't going to do it by slapping a sexual label on a canon character so as to make said character more Special Snowflakey.

And if they're doing it to make a canon character share the author's own special snowflake-ness, *barf*

maybe they're not writing the character for you to identify with

maybe they're writing the character for them to identify with because they feel connected to the character and want more representation of their own sexuality

whoa no way people write fic for themselves?? how even

Then I hope they understand when I back button away from their fic and don't start lambasting me as a bigot because I don't love their interpretation of a character.

I have every right not to be interested in a particular story. I'd love to live in a world where people would never call me "something-phobic" over it. And current reality is, there are people who damn well would do that.

Agreed. Demisexual? Otherkin? This shit is all complete nonsense. Homosexuals suffer REAL and ACTUAL and NOT MADE UP OR IMAGINED shit every day. In fact they get killed for it. No one outside of tumblr has even heard of this other garbage. It's just so...adolescent. When I was 12 I too pretended I was special and imagined I had ESP. And then I grew out of it.

TL; DR Whenever I see someone's story marked with that nonsense, I skip.

Pansexuals and Demisexuals suffer REAL and ACTUAL and NOT MADE UP OR IMAGINED shit every day too. Just because you don't encounter it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Demisexuals like to think they're special snowflakes. But they make up the majority of the population. The fact that demisexuals claim to be oppressed and feel the need to "come out" is fucking laughable.

I'm not demisexual and the whole "MOST PPL ARE DEMISEXUAL IT IS THE NORM" argument makes me roll my eyes so fucking hard.

Dude, I don't know what planet YOU live on, but where I live, it is really not that fucking hard to find someone who wants to have sex and doesn't need to have ~feelings~ first. Heck, there's even a thing known as FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. You know what the awesome thing about FNB are? YOU DODGE THE WHOLE IN-LOVE THING. Which is a thing a lot of people want!

If demisexuality was literally just The Standard Of All People The End, the desire for no-strings-attached sex would be this underground thing that people would be ashamed to talk about. Not just talking slut-shaming here; it'd be like furries.

Pansexual is a fancy word for bisexual (or refusal to acknowledge bisexual means attracted to two or more genders)

Please tell of the ways in which demisexuals suffer. I would like to know.

bi means two. The term bisexual insists on the precept that there are only two genders, which is false. Therefore I won't call myself bisexual, even though gender doesn't enter into the equation of what attracts me.

I was going to read this thread for the laughs since we all know by now that nothing is going to be learned and everyone's just going to be angry and yell, but I just had to stop and look at this comment here as it is such a fine example of the McCarthyist internet where everyone is accusing everyone else of Not Suffering (and the law is that if you aren't suffering, you're an oppressing monster who must be hated).

Maybe it's just the way it's worded here, but sheesh, it went right from "this is nonsense" to "you don't sufferrrrrr" quickly enough that it seemed to be implying some relation between the two. What are this? What are this?

Only homosexuals suffer and only they can complain about it, right?

No one outside of tumblr has even heard of this other garbage.

I'm pretty sure this has been said about every single Internet subculture in existence, including ones that date back to the early 90s via Usenet.

I mean, let's be honest here. If you'd never heard of otherkin before Tumblr, you're either very young or been doing the internet equivalent of living under a rock. People have been mocking otherkin since the era of Diary-X and invites-only Livejournal, ffs.

Tumblr's just a site, guys. It's not some magical land of spontaneous internet wizardry devoted to inventing wholecloth everything you hate. The Internet was full of beliefs and identities you would have hated in 1993, I promise.

I've been many places on the net since I was 10 (circa '97-'98) and I only just found out about otherkin like...3 months ago.

Furries were always the big thing to make fun of, but I'd never heard of otherkin.

Yeah, I remember friends bringing up Portal of Evil mock threads re: otherkin in AIM group chats in 1997-1998. Otherkin definitely, definitely existed when you were ten. (FYI to keep things fair here—I was about 15 then, and I've been online since about 1995-1996.)

Maybe it's not fair to say you have to have been living under a rock to not encounter this stuff before, but... I'm just really fucking jaded at this point about people flipping out and acting like their personal first encounter with Whatever Weird Thing is the Established Historical Origin of It. Especially when some of the Weirdest Shit is older than AOL.

I'm pretty sure "Otherkin" isn't a sexuality.

i'm like 6 days late here, but THANK YOU. this 110%.
