asexual people are usually also straight

As long as we're setting community norms, can we import derailing porn for really boring wank? I love derailing porn.

As someone who doesn't care about this wank, but is watching on flat view, I'd like to point out that it wouldn't even be happening if you'd just ignored the "probable asexy" remark.

That wasn't me who responded to it, actually! I'm also reading on flatview, I just find it kind of tedious. (Though I also think "really it's your fault for responding to the wanky thing in the first place!" is kind of dumb. For one this seems like the kind of troll who'd sameanon all over the place.)

NA who also got mad, I guess, feeding the troll

I don't want statements like "homophobes are probably asexual" to become unchallenged background noise, though. Like, on the one hand, sexuality wank sucks and is annoying, but on the other, I feel like nobody saying anything normalizes that opinion, which would make this meme an objectively less pleasant place for me and many other people.

Driveby "You rule, nonny" reply. I feel the same way. This meme has been pretty great so far, and I don't really see the utility in "ignoring" arbitrary hostility that feeds gatekeeping more than anything.

if someone can be asexual and gay then why can't someone be asexual and straight

Yes.

This has been another exciting episode of SATSQ.

Even in the majority of acewank I've seen, they aren't. But this is a favored straw man.

Tell that to my ex.

(frozen comment) Re: wank containment area

What is this even supposed to mean? Your ex is a non-straight asexual, so the majority of asexuals aren't straight? By that logic I could point out that since I'm gay, the majority of the general population isn't straight.

White people are usually also straight

Americans are usually also straight

People with driver's licenses are usually also straight


Seriously, that statement means nothing because statistically there are much more straight people than gay people, that doesn't mean that there are no LGBT people in that given population, or that the intersection of LGBT people with that population should be ignored.

I've never seen anyone say this. Unless you're one of those people who interpret "cishet aces are cishet" as "all aces are cishet".

Cishet aces are cishet and are just as likely to be homophobic and transphobic as cishet non-aces.

I was replying to the nonny above saying "asexuals are usually also straight" as part of acewank because I don't really think that line of argument is really relevant or even cogent. Like, that's not an argument for asexuals being homophobic, you could basically make the same wanky statement about most blanket demographic groups, and there still would be a subset of that demographic group who are LGBT.

I'm not sure if I'm being 100% clear, but basically: Cishet aces are cishet and not immune from being bigoted, but painting all aces with that brush is 1) ignoring the population of ace people who aren't and 2) just a poor argument in general.
