/u/waking078 on Visibility? Here for it. This is what an ace also looks like! 😊

Please help me to understand. I'm sincerely interested in increasing my awareness and understanding of asexuality. I have no intention of hurting anyone's feelings but this looks like a man who is wearing makeup and perhaps hair extensions. Am I correct in my understanding that this "ace" is simply presenting themselves in a manner they feel is attractive regardless of how general society wishes to categorize them, i.e. masculine or feminine?

/u/GreninjaOfTheOasis on Y'all really love bandwagons

I know right? Like how much of a big goof do you have to be to go along with an innocent trend on the internet. I'm really disappointed with the state of this place succumbing to just posting the same idea but with your own spin on it. Smh February 26, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/Celebreon on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

I don't think it is fair to assume "these people don't care and are being willful" I think many new people made a mistake because of the actions of others they saw post before them. An honest mistake or even careless mistake is not the same as "don't care and willful." February 26, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/the_fifth_ace on As an Ace I am so happy someone asked me out like this

Remember kids, always wear protection when hurling into glass doors: you don't want glass in your eyes (or anywhere else, for that matter). February 26, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/Celebreon on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

It's not fair to assume people's motivations are so petty. Maybe some of us are less cynical. I agree I would like to see more paragraphs attached with pictures that help tell a story or give a glimpse into a person's life. I think that could be cool really, especially compared to just "picture" February 26, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/TheWarLoad on How it feels explaining to someone that I'm a sex-favorable asexual

Omg love a arrested development reference. I love how tobias is ace when the show never acknowledges it. February 26, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/bryant_modifyfx on The beginning of my asexual themed keyboard wrist rest, updates to come!

Oh I might add you to my list of people to ask! I just started out myself! February 26, 2021 at 12:00AM

/u/maxvandenburg on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

Is it more a selfie post or to inspire discussion? If it's just a selfie post no I don't think it belongs. Go to r/FaceofAce . Otherwise yes it might. February 25, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/Celebreon on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

I did not know that one user was doing it over and over and over for two days. See this is good information to know. Thank you. I am new here, I thought it was normal internet nonsense (I had only seem the meme page before this sub). I understand if it is against the rules, then that is fine by me and I will gladly support that and also gently remind people to use the appropriate sub. The 'never consented stuff' is too far for me though. I guess I feel bad that people are annoyed by them the flood of pictures, but also this idea that "Didn't consent to see pictures" like a person's face or a cat? I'm a big proponent of consent of parties at all times, but I don't understand why we need consent to see another person's face. I also did not feel their titles and posts were 'aphobic' or 'poisoned.' Empty and boring typically and devoid or content outside the picture which (I agree, lame that's really lame), but there has t...

/u/FabulousBookkeeper3 on Are we disproportionally cat people?

I honestly detest cats. At most I’m tolerant of their existence February 25, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/ZagadkaVolya on Wanted to join the ace trend but first, let me show you my happy little dance 🌞

I celebrate cute dancing. February 25, 2021 at 11:53PM

/u/ZagadkaVolya on What an ace looks like nothing but comfort and cuteness

Solidarity in being cute and ace. I wish I could be cute, bot more power to each of us. February 25, 2021 at 11:51PM

/u/ZagadkaVolya on Why does nobody fight for us?

I wouldn't say that it is our choice. We belong. We have no choice. We deserve to be represented. February 25, 2021 at 11:49PM

/u/ZagadkaVolya on Why does nobody fight for us?

The LGBTQ+ community is crowded, busy, and frankly sometimes obsessed with sex. Gay and lesbian rights are dominant, bis get representation though it is a fight, but everyone seems focused on hooking up. It can be hard to argue that we even belong, much less get defended. Every outside media poll on LGBTQ+ I see completely avoids asexuality. I try to relate to it by realizing that they also ignore other minorities and relating to them. February 25, 2021 at 11:48PM

/u/Celebreon on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

I respect your opinion for certain, but I'm having a hard time supporting the memes over people's humanizing photos, Hell I had leave some reddit called aaaaaaaaaacccccccce (I dont know how to spell it) because it was JUST memes. I stayed here because there was not posts featuring spongebob or whatever (he's fine I suppose but I don't see the connection). February 25, 2021 at 11:43PM

/u/ThirdEyeTaylor on Visibility? Here for it. This is what an ace also looks like! 😊

Search for BlueButtonBoho on Etsy; I’m sure it’s still available! February 25, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/PositiveFreedom on Is asexuality from trauma?

Can trauma make you bisexual? I don't buy into this point of view at all personally, and it would straight up be offensive if you tried to swing it with any other orientation. Trauma can 100% develop disordered views or feelings towards sex, and can lead to several disorders related to sex drive or libido, but that's just not what asexuality is. Whether you would like to identify as asexual as a result of that... I dunno. It's up to the person. I don't want to tell anyone how to identify. I am speaking personally as someone who has had significant childhood trauma and is on antidepressants which reduce libido. I don't speak for everyone, but I had to do a lot of soul searching, introspection, and research on it to feel even a modicum of comfort. February 25, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/Celebreon on How do your feel about these Ace selfie posts?

I have to legitimately ask: would it be inappropriate to add a self-portrait in with a post that prompts some related discussion? I thought about posting asking for some relationship advice because part of me wants to continue to dating this allo- but I'm very conflicted. And also, I asked my friend to team up with me and we would take a group pic, and post it with a throwaway line of also this is what an Ace can look like after my text prompt. They were mega-excited to join with me. I didn't do that because of the complaints about the selfies, which whatever, I've already expressed my opinion, but there are like 15 sub reddits related to spectra, memes, art, pride, discussion, relationships (how is this different from discussion? I'm not being a dick, I'm being serious, I don't get it.) etc. If I take a self-portrait does it belong in face of ace? Is it Ace art? Is it both? I don't really care I guess, but y'all make sure we hear about it ever...

/u/SqueeeeeakyBoots on This is what Ace (and Bi!) look like!

Thank you! If you can believe it, the dress was only 50$ from Amazon! But don’t tell anyone! ;) February 25, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/ZagadkaVolya on Ace looks like this, sometimes.

That would be true... aces can be hot... too bad the game forces you to fuck them. February 25, 2021 at 11:37PM
