explaining asexual inside jokes for non-aces who don't know: - the cake and garlic bread memes are because we think they are better than sex - the denmark Invasion is because we realised there are more asexuals than the population of denmark, so naturally the next step is domination - some asexuals wear a black ring on our right middle finger - yes, we are dragons. don't question it.

@@bkCheezburgor, coming out asexual wasn't all that bad, no one really questioned me. Sure, they believe my asexuality is because I never had some adult time with another adult (if you get what I mean), but that was fine. Then, a few months later, I realized I'm also enby and that's when the issues began. Then it became "Are you sure you're enby? Are you sure you're asexual? Are you sure you also like men romantically? How do you know you only like women romantically? Oh, you want to have a more masucline chest, well every woman has issues with her chest, so what your going through doesn't need to result in removing that area of your body. And you want us to call you by your new name and pronouns, sorry that isn't going to happen." That kind of thing. So yeah, coming out as asexual didn't result in anything terrible, but coming out as nonbinary kind of did. Granted, they haven't disowned me, and they're finally beginning to respect my pronouns and new name (well, a few are), but still hurts to have my new name and my pronouns not respected and to get questioned about my asexuality a bit further than before, but not all that bad. 1

So you know how a lot ace spec people will tell sex jokes about themselves but can’t handle other people telling sex jokes about them(even people they’re more comfortable with). I thought of a good explanation for it(at least I hope it’s good): Telling a sex joke about yourself is like touching your own chest; you don’t need permission to do it. Telling a sex joke about someone else is like touching their chest; you either need permission or a previously established privilege to do so. I realized some time after thinking this up that this explanation could also be used to shut down the “it’s just a joke” brand of harassers/enablers.

Why do people think we don't exist? I tried to tell my sister that I'm ace through casual conversation. When the topic was nearing that direction, she said, "Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if someone had told me in high school that you were asexual." I was shocked because I didn't realize it myself until I got married (I assumed that I was just a good little Christian girl and that I would have "temptations" when I got married, but that didn't happen). I replied "Well, I think that I am asexual." She told me "No you're not. You're married. And I've seen the way you kiss him." I kiss him like I love him. Because I do love him romantically. I'm just not sexually attracted to him or anyone. When I told my other sister that I'm ace, she said that I "Must have had more bad experiences with sex than good" and I "need to go to a sex therapist and it will get better." I love my sisters, but I have stopped trying to tell my family because they really don't believe me. Thank you Jamie for acknowledging us!

Dear lord that's gotta be so annoying. I've luckily never had to justify being ace to my family and friends, cause sexual attraction just isn't something we've ever viewed as important or prominent. So we've always been laid back about anything lgbtq. No fuzz when my sister got a girlfriend, no fuzz when I started talking about the ace spectrum and being homoromantic. Just an "aight cool" and that's about it. If any of my siblings ever started *insisting* that I'm not ace and then give me that "proving you wrong" attitude, I'd feel disgusted with them. And I mean, seriously.. is it not kinda disturbing how much people care about their family members having sex? Kinda gross in my opinion.. But yeah, I always find it sad when I see people base everything off of sexual attraction and bedtime shenanigans, rather than quality time, friendship and genuine love for oneanother. (Also I dunno how much I can complain seeing as the worst I've gotten is a guy jokingly asking if my balls are blue cause I said I don't fancy wanking it lmao) But anyway, keep at it. You're asexual, and that asexuality is a valid and respectable part of you, no matter what anyone says. Hope your sisters learn to be less inappropriate about you and your husband, and all the best to you both. We support you

Explanations: The online ace community has a few very specific internal jokes. "Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever had garlic bread/cake?" is one. Another one is "Since 1% of people are ace, the global ace population outnumbers the people of Denmark. We could take over Denmark." So those are the inside jokes in those memes.

I love the spongebob memes especially because years ago, when Stephen Hillenburg was asked if spongebob had a love interest, Hillenburg responded by saying that he sees Spongebob as asexual. Considering spongebob had two parents and had no romantic or sexual relationship himself, I affirm that his is an aroace icon!
@rainpooper70882 жыл бұрын
Actually, the question was explicitly about whether or not Spongebob and Patrick are gay which lead to Stephen Hillenburg saying that, no, the team never intended for them to be gay, but that he considers them asexual instead. If this had just been about deflecting the possibility of these characters being gay, he could have just said they were straight or even have them crush on girls in the show itself (apparently Sandy was originally intended as a love interest, they could have easily revived some of that stuff to dispel all doubts) but no, he explicitly decided on asexuality long before ace representation was ever even considered a possible thing in cartoons. That’s why it irks me when people try to claim that Stephen Hillenburg calling Spongebob asexual was just him „making a marine biologist joke because sponges reproduce asexually in real life, he didn’t actually mean it, guys!“ The question at hand was explicitly about sexuality and so was the answer. Fanfics are fine, nobody cares if you ship Spongebob with Sandy or Patrick or whoever, but the creator said what he said. By Word of God, Spongebob is canonically asexual, not gay or straight or interested in romance in any way that doesn’t involve a literal food item(it wasn’t cake or garlic bread, but close enough…).

One thing I always hate as an asexual, is when there's a character that is either confirmed to be or popularly headcanoned to be ace, but people in the fandom write sexual fanfics about them. Like, yeah aces can still have adult fun time, but those who don't understand asexual relationships don't understand the depth and the reality behind sex-positive/favorable ace relationships. Yes, aces can still partake in the act, but our relationships with it is completely different.

Yes aros can have close relationships like that and aces can have sex But Is alastor really the type of person who'd do that? He gives me sex indifferent but still wouldn't do it with anyone vibes. The way I see it, he doesn't really care enough to be grossed out by it, but I also don't think he'd be willing to do it with most people. He's too powerful and therefore too good for them! Why would he waste his time with anyone else there?

It's so helpful to have stuff like this talked about more, instead of trying to hide it incase it influences people or something. I don't know what my sexuality is because I grew up in the time where everyone was using gay as a pejorative and like, most representation in media was straight people. I was bullied for being gay when I wasn't. But all of that stuff is so messed up, like I shouldn't have felt the need to distance myself and defend myself by essentially identifying as not gay. There is nothing wrong with being gay and no one should be put in that situation. I'm so happy to see things changing. To see more acceptance. I think it's important for people (probably should be a part of sexual education) to have discussions on what love actually is. And sexual attraction, and romantic attraction etc. Like, I still don't know what my stuff is but for me relationships are too much time and effort. I'd rather play music, have chill conversations, play board games, ttrpgs, video games or read a book. I'm sure it also doesn't help that I'm living my hermit life. Anyway, I apologize for kind of hijacking your comment and going on a bit of a rant.

Just as you said "we" at 6:38 I got an advert for Pizza Ovens so it ended up being "We are pizza ovens" and as an Ace I am now claiming this as our new slogan. Asexuals: We are Pizza Ovens.

Jamie at 5:32 realising what Kelis was really singing about is a big enough dose of wholesome to last me a day. I literally had to pause the video to go "Aww bless you!!~" out loud.

I didn’t know about the milkshake thing either, so at first I was like: 😲 “OH! That makes so much more sense!”. Then I saw Jamie’s reaction and had to pause the video until I stopped laughing 😂. Great video overall, thank you! As an aro-ace and non-binary person I’m always happy about positive representation ☺️.

8:40 that is the highest honor that can be bestowed on someone lol. As someone who is pretty extroverted and admittedly kinda loud when I talk, I'm always so happy and shocked when timid little cats start to like me and trust me, especially when the owner says something like "wow, she doesn't normally do that" and then you feel so special haha.

Okay, okay. Let's see how much ace culture I can remember at the top of my head: dragons, garlic bread, cake, a black ring on your right middle finger, aliens, sometimes pirates and plants, playing cards, invisibility, and space.
