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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
But 'demisexuality' is not a rare and special thing, either. A lot of people are really like that. Demisexuality does not an oppressed minority make.

Literally no one is saying that it's a ~rare and special thing~ or ~oppressed minority~. People are saying that it's a legitimate thing, that it's a thing most people are not, and that it helps those people who are to have a name for it. Come on dude.

"or ~oppressed minority~"

People do say this, actually.

Well, they're dumb.

YOU fucking said it like... last week. Went on about how you were a ~freak~ for wanting emotional connections before fucking despite being ace or somesuch.

Personally feeling like a weirdo has nothing to do with claiming ~oppression, bro.

Also, attraction =/= behavior thx

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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
hahahahahahahahahaha *weezes*

You are not Bi because you may potentially sleep with someone who doesn't fit one of the accepted definitions of gender.

Why not just be queer?

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Honey, plenty of people find "queer" to be a very charged word. Pansexual doesn't have the pejorative history behind it. Shut up.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-11 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
that is because pansexual is made up.

A word that isn't made up "fetish object".

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
except the "bi" in "bisexual" isn't referring to gender, it's referring to the two other at-the-time-identified sexualities. bisexuals aren't attracted to both men and women, they're both homosexual (attracted to their own gender) and heterosexual (attracted to genders other than their own).

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That is about the smartest thing I've heard anyone say about this subject.

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?

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
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.
manifold: Haters gonna make some good points (haters advocate)

[personal profile] manifold 2013-09-10 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure "Otherkin" isn't a sexuality.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm like 6 days late here, but THANK YOU. this 110%.
