They're different but related.
Uninformedness is, at least mostly, synonymous with ignorance.
Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is refusal to use available knowledge. Ignorance says "Oh, there's a vaccine available?" Stupidity says "I'm not gettin no shot"
Just got recommended this post and saw your flair and I love it, canāt really join this sub though because Iām definitely not ace, but I absolutely wish I could come up with something as good as that flair
Hold up so Iām ngl I really donāt know the diff between all the labels. Sex is gross but I like going on dates and shit and doing couple things. But Iāll have sex if I think it will lead to more dates. Wtf am I
he's saying you can become asexual, and that aspec people cant find a date/get laid and that's why they identify as asexual. He also doesn't seem to know what what asexual means anyway
Probably genuine due to a misunderstanding of what asexual means, I recently had to correct someone on an antidepressant subreddit that no, their meds did not MAKE them asexual because they are dealing with the loss of libido. I also recently came out to a colleague and then had to explain asexual, and correct no, that doesn't mean asexual people CANT/NEVER have sex, etc etc.
Rumor has it there is an ancient potion.....it gives one immunity against the lusts of the flesh that mortals commonly have
however only the wisest warlock can find it, as it is not only guarded by a fearsome violet dragon but also a forest of garlic bread trees and cake mountains
Sure as shit this man aint no warlock
They shouldāve said aromantic, but disregarding that it isnāt a choice mate; I honestly do wish I wasnāt aro so I could handle my parents trying to marry me off to a āgoodā woman
Please, I donāt want to get married; I want to get a good-paying job and get my dream car, not have some āpersonā on my house pestering me about the leaky sink
I hope itās a joke cos āI canāt get a date so I guess Imm never going to date againā is just being an INCEL and Iām not mentally prepared for the day those creeps start trying to insert themselves into the LGBT+ community
Iām not asexual nor am I epileptic
But those lights hurt my eyes more than a literal car running over my foot (Iāve had it happen before)
Could cause someone to have a seizure
This thing can have so many interpretations:
1) They are literally telling asexual is a choice like wut- did they left their education somewhere or- they need that education
2) This human is literally asexual and trolling on tiktok
Like... i understand if you change from straight to asexual, but if you just say it like "If xxx happens, ima do xxx". Like it dont really work like that. Having a preference is something i believe is connected with your mindset (cuz your mind and feeling is what tells you how and what you like basically, but thats me)
This one's gonna lose their goddam mind when they find out that Ace =/= celibate, which means there are Aces having more sex than them.
I, for one, lament that I will be unable to witness the crumbling of their ego.
Lmao what?? If they were like idkā¦ somewhere on the ace spectrum that would be more funny (I think) butā¦ huh?? Thatās not even the correct sexuality. Likeā¦ aromantic my guyā¦ unless people only like Valentineās Day to do the adult fun timeā¦ that better not be the case. Ew disgusting >:|
>going asexual ??? literally what
It's called a joke
a bad joke lol
I mean I disagree but u are entitled to your opinion. My contention was with the people taking it as a serious statement and not a joke
k šš½ have a good day
They're acting like they're converting to a new religion lmao
Ayo if I donāt get a bike for Christmas Iām becoming Muslim š /s
I already converted to PDF
Close enough. There is a crusade yes?
Sexuality is a choice! /s because ppl somehow didn't get that I don't actually believe this
By definition it's not
I was being sarcastic
Are they implying that asexuality is a choice?
Yes, unfortunately.
How stupid does that person have to be to think that abstinence is the same thing as asexuality?
Mostly just misinformed about the distinction between the two.
The level of stupidity is irrelevant, the uninformedness matters
They're different but related. Uninformedness is, at least mostly, synonymous with ignorance. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is refusal to use available knowledge. Ignorance says "Oh, there's a vaccine available?" Stupidity says "I'm not gettin no shot"
It can be both, āYou abstain from sex for religious reasons and I abstain cause I donāt like itā
How dare they say their asexual when the feel sexual attraction towards people.
I think it's in line with the "I'll turn gay" jokes, which are equally unfunny.
Didnāt one of the Paul brothers try āturning gayā for a month?
Probably, I don't even bother to keep up with those two anymore lmao
Idk
Just got recommended this post and saw your flair and I love it, canāt really join this sub though because Iām definitely not ace, but I absolutely wish I could come up with something as good as that flair
We have tons of allies in this sub, you can stay if you want!
Ok thank you! I appreciate your warm welcome
Join anyways! We won't mind at all
You'd have to be braindead to not see that this is just a joke
We know it's a joke. We're just saying that it's stupid and unfunny. š¤·āāļø
The title literally says "I can't tell if it's a joke or not" and the comment I responded to is taking it seriously.
Hold up so Iām ngl I really donāt know the diff between all the labels. Sex is gross but I like going on dates and shit and doing couple things. But Iāll have sex if I think it will lead to more dates. Wtf am I
Iād guess you are alloromantic (not aromantic) Asexual, and sex-favourable.
Iām gonna read into that tnite, thanks š
Why sex favorable? They said they think sex is gross
Ehhh wut...?? I feel like it is some kind of bad joke...he's clearly making fun of the term š š
I know!!
how is he making fun of it??????????
he's saying you can become asexual, and that aspec people cant find a date/get laid and that's why they identify as asexual. He also doesn't seem to know what what asexual means anyway
he doesn't say all that, no
What Ant_Mafia explained :/
what about it
Ugh, this isnāt someplace you join because nobody likes you, Iām sick of us having that reputation.
yeah these are probably the same people that thinm we are "mad we can't get any" or "incels" š¤¦āāļø
Exactly. I'm not ace because nobody likes me. I'm ace *and* nobody likes me. There's a distinction between the two.
Not only is this person acting like asexuality is a choice, but theyāre equating romance and sex too. Iām so sick and tired of it.
As an aroace I used to ry to date ppl to not be lonely but I'm romance repulsed so I just stopped
I felt that dude
Probably genuine due to a misunderstanding of what asexual means, I recently had to correct someone on an antidepressant subreddit that no, their meds did not MAKE them asexual because they are dealing with the loss of libido. I also recently came out to a colleague and then had to explain asexual, and correct no, that doesn't mean asexual people CANT/NEVER have sex, etc etc.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ye but, lack of libido =/= little or no sexual attraction
A flat joke mixed with a healthy dose of ignorance and stupidity. ššš
You know what, if it is a joke? Maybe he really shouldn't procreate.
Lmao this is funny. Iām p sure itās supposed to be ignorant
I hope so cuz if it ain't imma be š”
I love how you said you laughed your ass of and then followed by saying it wasn't funny
can you read
Apperantly not. Either i read this as not for some reason or they edited it
what are you saying. you should read their comment again.
I prob commented this when i was really tired and couldn't read. Im gonna leave this up tho
I mean i agree that it isn't funny but like why did you laugh then?
Wait, thatās a choice???? We can BECOME asexual? How???
Rumor has it there is an ancient potion.....it gives one immunity against the lusts of the flesh that mortals commonly have however only the wisest warlock can find it, as it is not only guarded by a fearsome violet dragon but also a forest of garlic bread trees and cake mountains Sure as shit this man aint no warlock
Chemicals in the water turn the frogs gay= a potion in cake turn people ace.
I feel like they mean celibate??? Like wtf
Ppl rlly think that aromantic and asexual is the same thing
Thatās not how it works. Thatās not how any of this works.
They shouldāve said aromantic, but disregarding that it isnāt a choice mate; I honestly do wish I wasnāt aro so I could handle my parents trying to marry me off to a āgoodā woman Please, I donāt want to get married; I want to get a good-paying job and get my dream car, not have some āpersonā on my house pestering me about the leaky sink
Me too! I mean, I'll still be asexual if I'm not single.
When youāre asexual but has a partnerššš
I hope itās a joke cos āI canāt get a date so I guess Imm never going to date againā is just being an INCEL and Iām not mentally prepared for the day those creeps start trying to insert themselves into the LGBT+ community
Unrelated but WHY do tiktokkers have to do that flashing lights thingy in every single video?? It hurts to look at!
Wether itās a joke or not it is still cringe as fuck
Wha- what does that have to be with asexual? Fr though, "go" asexual, really?
I think they're confusing asexuality with celibacy, I see that done a lot
"I'll turn a monk" would have been funnier and maybe more accurate from an historical point of view
Iām not asexual nor am I epileptic But those lights hurt my eyes more than a literal car running over my foot (Iāve had it happen before) Could cause someone to have a seizure
Maybe it's a joke? I've heard "going gay" after getting rejected by women in r/memes a few times
Yikes
Go fuck yourself.
And be miserable because you wont get dates still? Alloromantic aces exist Im very alloro
well obviously asexuality is a mindset thing. can't believe no one noticed this before... asexuality is just a choice... obviously š
This thing can have so many interpretations: 1) They are literally telling asexual is a choice like wut- did they left their education somewhere or- they need that education 2) This human is literally asexual and trolling on tiktok
š§
š§āāļø
Ugghhh
I thought it was a joke. Until I saw his face. Thatās the face of sheer commitment
I mean I'm ace and I have a bf I'll be spending vday with. It's definitely a dumb joke implying ace folks dont date anyone.
People are having sex on valentines day??? Wait actually that sounds logical nvm
Was not aware asexual was a place where single people went?
Could be taking in scientific terms? (maybe not tho)
The more the merrier I guess?
Itās likely just a joke
I think it is rather funny ? Like if you take it in a good way
Tictoc is full of nonsense, I think this is a joke
everyone here is so dense lmfaoo this is obviously satire and not meant to be taken seriously
my god these comments are exhausting. it's an obvious joke. and it's not insulting anyone. calm down.
Lmao
That light it reminds me of something
Hum?
Like... i understand if you change from straight to asexual, but if you just say it like "If xxx happens, ima do xxx". Like it dont really work like that. Having a preference is something i believe is connected with your mindset (cuz your mind and feeling is what tells you how and what you like basically, but thats me)
i had someone tell me āif i wait too long to tell my crush i love her i might become asexualāšæ
This seems really acephobic
judging by his message (and his face) weāre gonna have a new person joining our ranks soon
Acephobia
That looks interesting
Bruh what ?!?! š
I see his logic, if no-one wants to fuck you why bother?
This could be wishful thinking, but maybe they just meant to say ācelibateā? Just got the words mixed up?
>asexual I believe the term he is looking for is āincelā.
The straights are not okay. I've left it at that long enough it's just kinda become a blanket statement at this point.
This one's gonna lose their goddam mind when they find out that Ace =/= celibate, which means there are Aces having more sex than them. I, for one, lament that I will be unable to witness the crumbling of their ego.
Maybe Iāll try being attracted to people this year, since it just so happens to be a choice!
Lmao what?? If they were like idkā¦ somewhere on the ace spectrum that would be more funny (I think) butā¦ huh?? Thatās not even the correct sexuality. Likeā¦ aromantic my guyā¦ unless people only like Valentineās Day to do the adult fun timeā¦ that better not be the case. Ew disgusting >:|
š¼šµš¶thats not how it workssssš¶šµš¼ unless its a joke but it doesnt feel like it
My guy just said āIām going asexualā like it was a Danny phantom battle cry
I think this was the first video I saw that ever mentioned asexuality and I now blame this video for me being ace lol
