da

Yeah, the sparkly dildo wank was...something. I can't even be arsed to remember exactly what was going on there (it confused me at the time tbh and was ridiculous on the face of it) but it was just weird generally!

Especially since (like the subthread OP said) there had just been some really enthusiastic, fun Sense8 threads on meme. I think it must have just been a different set of people commenting (anon meme, how could you even tell? :P) because it was one of those classic "I made this same comment a week ago and meme loved it, and now meme is jumping down my throat, what the actual fuck?" deals.

Weird.

Yeah, that was....something that sure was a thing, all right. It got so OTT I couldn't tell whether it was trolling or fun trolling or what.

na I was looking at flatview and I almost hoped you were talking about the abc family show HUGE having wank, because then at least someone would have been talking about it lmao

another NA

I realize this is completely unrelated to the rest of this thread, but: anon! I love Huge! I was just thinking the other day about breaking out my DVDs for a rewatch. Someone nominated a couple of Huge ships for femslashex, I'm hoping they request them so I can treat.

Re: wank containment area

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt Oh same! I've never done femslashex but I've shipped Will/Becca since day 1, ngl. Someday I have to get the DVDs so I can screencap it, since iTunes hates letting you use video files for that...

Re: wank containment area

Very very belated NA coming to this thread to say I loved Huge too and always wished it had a real fandom!

I remember shipping Becca/Chloe and their pining ex-friends angst the most, but I need to do a rewatch because I know I also shipped pretty much every combination of the four main girls and I would like to see what OT3s I can make work in my head.

Also, Athena as surely the trans girl or nb character we would gotten canon confirmation for (or at least more exploration of) in S2! I loved Athena so much. I remember friend 'shipping Becca/Athena more than ship-shipping it but I would love to see how I felt about them on a rewatch.

Just because a thing happens also doesn't mean it's necessarily suitable to be used as a grand symbol of something great. Trying to celebrate and portray the various forms of sexuality is a worthy cause, but imo picking a used sex toy with bodily fluids on it to symbolise love and unity is in very poor taste. As if it all centers around not love, but sex, and kinky sex toy sex specifically. It makes the carnality and the act of fucking itself the centerpoint, instead of the emotion and the love. In my opinion.

Probable asexy says what?

Not sure where the line on sexuality wank is in the wank containment area, but ^

Someone, I rather doubt the mods here are as eager to coddle the asmexies as they are on meme. Which is a point in their favor.

(frozen comment) Re: wank containment area

"Coddle"? Seriously?

Idgaf about asexuality politics, but this kind of categorical nastiness just for the sake of it was something I had kind of been hoping to get a break from over here. Like, there aren't even any self-identified asexuals involved in this? If the person in the quote had actually pulled out the "as an asexual I am being persecuted by the existence of sex" then the mocking would be warranted, but as it is, it sort of just feels like someone is derailing a completely unrelated discussion as a flimsy excuse to be performatively alienating.

Sexuality wank is allowed in the wank containment area as long as it's not nasty for the sake of being nasty.

please just nuke this whole fucking thread, i don't come here to read the same stupid asexual arguments all over the rest of the internet and it's taking over the whole post

It is nasty for the sake of being nasty. Even if being nasty to ~~asexies~~ isn't the point, it's pretty clearly nasty for the sake of being nasty to people who want to do a femslash meme.

i wish it wasn't so taboo to talk about sex these days

it really feels like the pendulum has swung again towards conservative, anti-sex rhetoric and i feel that's unfortunate especially since sex ed hasn't gotten that much better in recent years

i hope we don't have a near future of sexually repressed young adults too terrified of exploring their sexuality to even talk about sex, especially if it's framed as something as "problematic" to talk about

Be fair. Equal odds that person is one of those homophobes who thinks showing gay sex is making the story all about sex, whereas het sex is an intimate act of love and closeness.

(frozen comment) Re: wank containment area

[(Anonymous)]

i've met more than enough asexuals that are also those kinds of homophobes

(frozen comment) Re: wank containment area

[(Anonymous)]

And I've met more than enough that aren't. Wow! Anecdata \o/

Being asexual =/= being a sex-negative prude.

(frozen comment) Re: wank containment area

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, we know, thanks to the large number of of asexies who have more sex than most so-called "allos".

FFS, people, can we at least save acewank until we've got more than 2k comments?
