I mean not that yall would gaf but if yall want queer acceptance to go up then yall need to be able to see the nuances of other queers in the community instead of writing them off but aye whatever

its not about the posts, its about how they were all by the same person, and all about conflict with other members of lgbtq community. this would be fine if it was one post, but 3 posts in a row by the same person, especially with one of them arguing that someone used as an insult is “just a word”. There are some really insidious troll on here that post this shit every couple of days to inspire infighting

(In regards to the ace post) I think the problem is the conflation of asexual (ace) people with aromantic (aro) people. When you wrote “all for them to get partners within the same two weeks” it sounds like you were using that as evidence that they aren’t actually ace, which is confusing because ace people date. If your concern was not feeling comfortable with some of your friends using the f slur that’s totally valid, but questioning their sexuality on the grounds you gave seems strange.

Yeah like it’s weird to imply that ace people can’t have partners or that them being queer isn’t valid because of those partners.

not trying to be aggressive btw, just asking you to examine your implicit biases. why is it that even when you can recognize that the guy making these posts is some weirdo with ulterior motives, you’re chomping at the bit to jump in and agree with the made up story that confirms your bias against a certain outgroup? why did your critical thinking skills go out the window for THAT post, even when you can tell this is an untrustworthy source?

I appreciate that you’re not trying to be aggressive but I think you’re confused, the bottom message has nothing to do with asexuals?? I responded to his takes on asexuals in another thread actually and yeah I think it’s a weird one.

Maybe I will use this as some education but yeah asexuality means no attraction to me so I guess if yall define it differently sure but that’s just differences, I don’t think it negates the validity of some of the things in my situation

Typically being asexual means having no sexual attraction. You can still have romantic attraction a.k.a. have crushes, want to cuddle, etc. without wanting to have sex. What part of your situation (relating to the ace post) do you think is still valid?

They think they were queer because they are all straight yet got no bitches for years 😭 and then started to question but then immediately jump to the sight of a sexual, romantic relationship. THATS what I am trying to say. They’re confusing what actually being queer is.

Haha you’re good, I realize that was confusing in retrospect

I don’t really understand what the point of this argument is. attraction, romantic or sexual, is an entirely separate thing from the want to have a relationship. This is the same logic that makes people think that demi just means “doesn’t hook up”. I see how it’s confusing, but trying to complain about something that you’re not yet sure if you understand just makes people think you’re looking for trouble.

in regards to your friends in particular, questioning their sexuality and then getting in a relationship doesn’t change whether their questioning was valid or not. I don’t know if you’re saying that they’re still ace or decided not to identify as ace anymore, but either way changing how they identify doesn’t harm the idea of being ace or anything, and shouldn’t be something to be upset about. Sometimes meeting someone really helps unravel people’s feelings.

Yeah I think you have a much narrower view of what “queer” means than most people. “Queer” (in the way most people use the term) just means anyone who isn’t heterosexual, isn’t heteroromantic, and/or isn’t cisgender. I imagine this is what your friends mean when they use the word queer, and from what you described their behavior seems to be consistent with this definition.
