As a future teacher here in Texas, you can bet your ass I will fight this as far as I can. If that means "disciplinary action" is my fate, bring it the fuck on.
I have tried and hoped against hope since it happened that things will not turn out as bad as we thought. It seems I was right. Many things are turning out to be much worse.
She really seems to enjoy these videos more! You can tell how excited she is to talk about these women. I imagine it's a nice break from talking about annoying tropes so much.
Accepting aversion wasn't really that difficult for me. I guess because I already kind of felt that way even before I knew asexuality was a thing, it was easier to accept. It's not the easiest thing to live with, though, I'll grant you that. As always, this hyper-sexualized world we live in can at times be exhausting to deal with when references to sexuality are just about everywhere. Friends joking about sex, ads with sexual imagery, artistic depictions in the majority of media, etc. It's all fine and good, though. I'm certainly a sex positive person and support positive portrayals so that people can find where they fit in to the sexual sphere. However, that doesn't make it any less uncomfortable when you yourself have a revulsion to sex in general. It's just kind of a thing I've determined I have to live with. Things are getting better, though. I do see people showing concern for letting people know when sexual imagery or discussion will be used in an attempt to avoid this discomfort. I appreciate efforts like that.
“My hot take on a guy proclaiming himself a feminist is that he’s trying to get in someone’s pants."
I've only ever seen this accusation coming from anti-feminists before. It feels weird seeing that here. Even though it doesn't specify women, it does feel pretty heteronormative. But, of course, that's just my perspective as an asexual and I don't even exist, so whatever.
Of god damn course...
Not sure if I have an unbiased input as an aromantic.
I go by WizeOaldOwl online. 23 year old music education major in the Panhandle of Texas. Aro/Ace cis-male.
I love music more than just about anything. Primary instruments are trombone and piano, but lately I've started to fall in love with conducting. I enjoy a video game or two, especially Pokémon.
I would like to get involved in some activism, but it's hard to find the time and the people in the area.
My first shiny was a pretty crazy story. I was replaying Emerald one time and made it to the E4. At that point, my team was pretty much set, but just for fun, I decided to take my Kecleon and train it for a bit in Victory Road even though it wouldn't be on my final team. It was just because he helped me out with Winona and the twins, so I'd hang with him a bit. First encounter in Victory Road was a shiny Golbat. The best part? I was already using a Crobat on my team, so this total accidental thing paid off. My second Shiny was a Roselia in Platinum in the Mansion courtyard, but it was after beating the E4. Third was a Tangela in Alpha Sapphire on a Mirage Island, but I feel like those places have higher shiny encounter rates.
Them: "So, what really is asexuality? I don't really get it."
Me: "Do you like Brussels sprouts?"
Them: "No."
Me: "Would you like some Brussels sprouts?"
Them: "No."
Me: "Cool. Reverse that to me and replace Brussels sprouts with sex. Got it?"
Just three that I've found informative and likeable. They're not really gaming related, though.
Salutations, soldier.
Nyeh heh heheh.
It actually currently has 721 with a few more announced on the way, but cool.
I tried, but after getting my ass handed to me by Undyne for the 30th time I determined it wasn't meant to be.
Can we talk for a second about just how awesome Undyne is?
While we're at it, we could go ahead and teach them what actual censorship is.
...Why do I feel like I've said that before?
Oh yes. Heaven forbid a station with an overwhelmingly male lineup air something that's "too female."
Why stop there? Why not sell the kid's bloody clothes, too? I mean, if he's gonna show off how inhuman he is, why not go all out?
Yes. Yes, good.
That was really cool. It's a shame comedy writers resort to finding ways to make abuse funny. It's not and attempting to make it funny is a fruitless endeavor.
I like the use of Ace cards because it's kinda cute, but also a a little helpful in explaining. I personally carry around an Ace of Spades in my wallet as my own personal kind of identifying thing that only I know about. It's not a perfect symbol, but it does the job.
As for myself, I'm a 22-year-old tenor player with almost 11 years of playing under my belt. My primary horn is a fairly standard Bach 42BO with a large shank Bach 5G mouthpiece. My small bore horn, mostly used for jazz and marching band, is a King 606 with a Giddings & Webster: Harry Watters jazz mouthpiece for jazz and a Bach 6 1/2 AL for marching. I'm primarily a classical player, but in recent years I've really started learning jazz and it's an absolute joy to play. I'm currently pursuing a degree in music education and hope to teach band as a career. It is my hope that I can use my abilities to shape future musicians to come.
