First we got a women who seemingly believes that men choose to die in a sinking ship to hang out and make out. Then we got a dude who way to fervently denies this claim. Then we get a song that has no right being a banger. Sometimes the internet delivers true gold.

[@dovos8572]

sometimes the internet makes gold out of things that are worse than shit

[@Sootielove]

tbh the original tiktok is clearly a joke e.g. "Why do you want to fight? So you have the excuse to touch other men??" sort of hyperbole

[@dovos8572]

@@Sootielove there are so many of them in that bubble of yt and ticktock that it isn't a joke anymore for many of them. i don't know if that is the case in this one or not but there are many who are as serius as the flat earthers.

[@smol-one]

​@@dovos8572Life is way more fun if you automatically assume everyone of those people is joking. And then if you ever run into one, double down and refuse to accept that they're not joking. Like the other side has a similar problem, but they usually sound so angry about it. And it would be hilarious to just constantly accuse them of joking.

[@cowgba]

The best content that comes out of Tiktok is when funny and/or talented people who have never met or spoken to each other all collaborate to elevate a goofy throwaway joke into something truly special.

[@Original_Username0]

To be fair, I don't think he's aro or ace (probably one but not both), considering he got a wife. He could be married for not love related reasons tho ig

[@hatsRcool747]

Staying behind on a sinking ship is platonic practical love. During a lifeboat evacuation, there is a risk that the larger sinking ship will pull those boats down with it. If the rudder and other systems are still working, our Captain will move the ship away from the evacuation zone and give the crew a better chance to survive.

[@ymmijx6061]

and then make out with his first mate, there's an order to these things dammit

[@pkmntrainerlilly5]

You're absolutely right. Based on her tone, I'm pretty sure she's saying it that way entirely to get that kind of reaction that was achieved by the guy on the left. It's a joke to make insecure guys mad.

[@valaoftheriver]

Yeah, this is way closer to how I understood it; Cap's not asexual or anything, he's simply a good guy who, umm, does NOT sexually assault his shipmates.

[@KaleidoRose]

@@valaoftheriver Why would he SA his shipmates? Sailors are gay af, it's all consensual.

It's called the Birkenhead drill. During the Boer War, a ship called the HMS Birkenhead was sinking when the order came down women and children into the lifeboats first. All of the soldiers were ordered to stand at attention on the deck and only to move when called upon to help. They could only move when the water was up to their chins...and they did it.

[@islabarker133]

I clicked on this thinking this would be a song about debunking "friend zoning" but I like this more! Also, your hair is glorious!

[@GhostKingDeAngelo]

Well he *is* an elf. Of course his hair is amazing

[@JWildberry]

Having read the comments on the short version, it seems like a lot of people thought/hoped it was a song about being ace. I hope you can find inspiration for an actual ace song, because ace representation is sorely needed!

[@rylsahawneh3662]

He’s written another song with Captain Platonic in it that heavily, heavily implies the good captain is, in fact, ace. Check out Beware the Siren when you get the chance.

[@foolishlyfoolhardy6004]

No, this is still alright ace representation. Not aro, but being asexual doesn't automatically mean you don't do any physical intimacy at all. And it doesn't mean you can't have a family. It's a spectrum, our good Asexual captain just likes to have a beer with the boys on occasion. I don't condone doing it behind the wife's back, but let's just pretend this is something they've both agreed on.

[@sophiefrankis9476]

Oh my god it would be so cool to have loads of folk songs about each sexuality

[@RoseBeariess]

My ace friend pointed that out to me whenever I was telling her about an aro/ace character in my writing. She was like PLEASE WE NEED REPRESENTATION. Ironically he’s a poet/bard character 😅

Aroace rep woohoo!

[@Original_Username0]

To be fair, I don't think he's aro or ace (probably one but not both), considering he got a wife. He could be married for not love related reasons tho ig, which would make it possible that he's aroace. (Also I'm remembering now that he could be somewhere on the aroace spectrum except for strict aroace)

[@KorinoTsubasa23]

@@Original_Username0 I'm on the aro spectrum as a demiromantic. Meaning I don't feel romantic attraction unless I have a deep connection to someone. So someone can be aro and still feel romantic love. And people who are aro are capable of love, it just might not look like what other people expect romantic love to look like.

[@Original_Username0]

@@KorinoTsubasa23 yeah, I forgot to edit the message (I thought I did), but I thought only about the ends of the spectrum for some reason. Sorry😅

[@KorinoTsubasa23]

@@Original_Username0 It's okay! You are willing to learn and correct yourself and that's appreciated. Not a lot of people are familiar with it being a spectrum. Same goes for ace people. Generally they have no interest in sex and while some are sex repulsed, others will be fine to have it if their partners want to, they just don't seek it out themselves. :3 There isn't as much rep for aro or ace individuals so a lot of people don't even think of it as being a spectrum. Defo need more representation

[@Original_Username0]

@@KorinoTsubasa23 thanks :) yeah, I wish there was more aro/ace rep, they're always either the complete ends, or both together, which is good, but if it's everything then it makes it harder to notice the other possibilities

/hj ---> which part is a joke ? Because I'm asexual, closing on 30, discovered I was asexual in my early/mid twenties... So I don't really feel at ease with the "it's a phase" with a "I'm joking but not completely" which makes one wonder which part is a joke.

[@Korihor666]

@@ip.3117 I grew up religious I insisted I was completely straight before leaving and later accepting I like girls too.
