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 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 :(.

For a minute there, I thought animagiblender was a new sexuality I hadn't heard of, and I was trying to parse it in my head. I was so relieved when I realised that was your username.

I'm not THAT out of the loop with alternative sexualities! Phew!
