kool that your opinion is that we're missing out but it's not really a funny joke since we're told stuff like that a lot and many of us are aro/ace because of mental illness, trauma, abuse or something like that but Yeah Totally we're missing out.
like honestly it's just kinda inappropriate to joke like that imo

No actually it's just that you aren't funny sorry sweatie xD
It's really easy to be funny without it being at the expense of people who already get enough crap on the daily
Look, I wasn't serious. I don't care one way or the other whether you feel emotional or physical attraction to people; that has nothing to do with me and I'm not looking down on you for being different. It was a joke. Get over it.

I wasn't disrespecting them, I wasn't devaluing their way of life, I was making a joke! It's not like I said something like "That's stupid, why don't you want to date people?". Why is everyone so easily offended these days??? And if you don't want this thread to get closed, I suggest you get back on topic. Jeez.
No offense, but why don't you just ignore a poorly taste joke. In all seriousness, as bad of taste it was. It was a joke, and bringing up all this drama isn't going to do anything apart from get you all in trouble. Pretty sure 99% of the population can be triggered for some reason. It is literally someone saying "You're missing out" in a joke manor. If you take it serious that's not going to do you any favours or them. No need for everyone to get triggered or whatever.

It's not offensive as such, it's only offensive if you choose it to be offensive. Most of the youtubers these days are cracking jokes at different things, have you seen Leafy and such? I'm not saying that it was a good choice or anything, just saying that most jokes these days have something in them that can be taken offensively. They didn't intend for it to be serious.

I didn't think it was that offence, like, if someone said to me "you're missing out" (with girls) I wouldn't even care.
But I ain't asexual so I can't really say

This is pretty on topic because it's only showcasing the crap ace people have to face.
Just because something was meant as a joke doesn't mean it isn't disrespectful.
Why do people get so offended when you tell them they said something offensive?
The joke didn't personally offend me. However I can recognize when something is offensive, and given the amount of likes I'm getting it seems like some people deserve an apology.
I don't think you guys understand that when a joke is made at someone's expense constantly, it turns into more than a joke because it directly contributes to the discrimination they face
I'm wheezing people don't choose to be offended over anything
most youtubers do it so its okay? Oh some people murder so when I do it it's okay. Ok mayb he didn't intend for it to be srs but he can still say an apology and be a decent human being... hmm try me.

but to actually get back on ace discussion hhhh
i searched "ace discourse" on tumblr and honestly i'm kinda grossed out. yeah ik it's tumblr and Oh No Tumblr Is A Bad Place but honestly why is there so much hate.., like the ppl are being crappy af and i don't really get it..?? can't they just chill out lmao.........
i get that people dont want cishets in safe spaces for lgbt+ ppl. and i personally don't think that cishet aces would gain a lot from being included even on a personal level because, like, uh it doesn't really make a lot of sense since lgbt+ spaces are so very centred around oppression (like, pride was started because of oppression and stuff) and cishet aces or cishet aros do not face oppression in that way.
negativity and harassment towards aromantics and asexuals are often based on other stuff, as sexism, gender roles, ableism n such. but that doesn't make it okay for people to harass and mock ace/aro people and spread hatred. people kind of need to stop saying that aces are "basically het" because that's just offensive af.
also i don't really get why people want to exclude us so badly but Yeah Sure Whatevr.

The tumblr ace community/discourse is a nightmare. I'm not even a part of it but a friend of mine is constantly getting into it with people and... lord
Like I realize ace people aren't oppressed but I don't see why you guys should be excluded when you certainly aren't the majority and constantly get told you're "broken" or something just like other LGBT people do

maybe you don't have traumatic memories attached to your sexuality and such aren't triggered by "harmless, bad taste joke"(s). :^)
you aren't the same ppl?? Idk and offending and triggering are completely different things so technically ur argument isn't valid lol. 2 wtf does racism have to do anything stop comparing 2 forms of discrimination lawl don't be a numpty the joke isn't harmless actually considering ur not ace and prob hasn't spoken to another ace if they felt it was harmless, try me again I'll snatch ur weave
Probably should leave and not say anything else.
There's always going to be people arguing.
Edit:
This is just to stop this becoming more off topic and starting more drama.
I could end you Crys.

Honestly, I get tired of the word "community" just getting thrown around randomly for every characteristic. I just don't give a s*** what anyone's sexuality is and it's a total non-factor on the list of people I consider as part of my "community". Why are people always looking for people like them? Find people who are different from you; it makes life more interesting.
