Is this called sexsplaining?
Hello, it's time for People Being Dicks On The Internet with a side of Good Mod Smackdown Is Good.

It's old and frozen now, like that stew in my freezer that it was sworn would be turned into a dinner one day but is so old now there's probably chunks of dinosaur in it. But.

Dagor_Hamster needs information, so Dagor_Hamster goes to [info]little_details for help. So far everything's on the up and up, right?

Dagor's question is just some stuff about romance, to make things more realistic.

Dagor is an aromantic asexual.

Anghara's monocle pops off. What madness is this? In-between using the term 'suffering' to describe being asexual, they also say this little line:

the alternatives (the researcher is a child who has not yet felt any kind of romantic awakening; the researcher is an emotionally cold adult unable to reach out to or relate to other human beings; the researcher is overanalysing a purely emotional gut response; the researcher is an alien or an android desperately trying to comprehend the baser human impulses)


I'm just saying, Anghara's kind of a dick.

Things go along with people arguing, etc.

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS. Features: Asexuality means you're saying you never loved your family (I couldn't think of a keeping it in the family joke here, and am sort of glad), and a whole lot of 'you're just saying you're asexual to be cool, you poser.'

Finally, the mod smackdown I promised you:

Kutsuwamushi gets sick of this and says so. The anon argues back, leading to a final word on the subject that I want to be able to emulate one day.

edit: I just reread this and realize I sound kinda biased. On the other hand, there's worse people to be biased against. I will live.

I think the "My sexual identity is that no one can possibly be asexual!" line is my favorite.

"Your sexual identity is 'bigot'?" was even better.

Yes - "my sexual identity includes the belief that all humans are" ... I don't think this sentence can have a good ending. Except maybe a full stop after "are". (OK, or adding "human".)

Sooo not being sexually attracted to your family must mean you are an asexual?

Is that what I'm reading?

Because if so, call me an asexual any day of the week.

Asexuality means never having to say, "Who are you and why am I in your bed? And WHERE ARE MY PANTS?"

Perhaps that's why anghara and anon have problems with it.

kutsuwamushi does a great job with that comm IMO. And I imagine it's a pretty thankless task.

I love when people go "I've never heard of this before, so you must not know/must be lying about your own identity" like that. Yeah, that makes total sense! It couldn't be that you don't know everything, no way José!

Ug. Reareading this is making me all angry again.

I saw that starting up before anyone had really given the smackdown and was trying to muster the mental energy to respond, but by the time I'd had breakfast or whatever there was a whole heap of replies, all telling Anghara what a prat they were. It warmed the cockles of my heart to know that (on the whole) the people of little_details are not willing to let that sort of crap slide. Of course it would have been better if the conversation had never gone there in the first place :/

Kutsuwamushi is such an awesome mod.

Don't we all feel lucky that we've got anghara/Alma Alexander/Alma A. Hromic to tell us how to define ourselves? If it's not this, it's whining that NaNoWriMo lets anyone call themself a novelist: http://www.swans.com/library/art8/aah032.html

Are you telling you have NEVER been in love? That you've NEVER felt your pulses race at the sight of somebody? That you, yourself, have no IDEA what falling in love is like?

Oh boy, Anghara would have a field day with me. I've never been in love. The only time my pulse races at the sight of somebody is when I've had too much caffeine. (is there a term for that? would that be aromantic?)

I saw this go down live. Full disclosure: I even commented on it (no wank, just answered the question and helped with some brainstorming, I'm animagiblender. I also apologized for everyone who needed to be apologized for).

The whole thing was EVIL and made me feel bad about the world :(.

That was good, kind modding there ! If it was me ... *Evil cackle*

And I'm not surprised. If ppl can come down like a ton of brix on someone if she says she's a virgin, then this is just ... yes, expected. I do remember about that iraq-veteran-professional-virgin wank which I read on jf. Ugh.
