Gosh.
I’ve been so busy with my fanfics and volunteering to cook for my friends doing a really cool sasquatch search that I never even finished the 30 Day Asexuality Challenge. I shall! xDDDD

I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone on the asexual tag could eat it and be happy.

Sigh.
Q:That purple Angel Coulby graphic you posted is my edit (It's on the second page of my tumblr currently, I can't post the link here). Could you tell me where you found it so that I know where my graphics are being posted without credit?
Sorry I am answering this late, but do you have proof? Because I see it in different colors on the internet. Sorry >.>

Allons-y!: Let me have a word here about this asexuality mess on tumblr.
Asexual oppression isn’t just an issue of erasure/invisibility. It extends beyond that to social oppression, denial of medical care, people being diagnosed with disorders, coercion, bullying, violence, and corrective rape, among other things. Aside from that, erasure is still oppression in my…
Excuse me, not to be rude but are you ace? Because your repeated use of “they”/they are, this this, they that etc makes me think you’re just appropriating rage. =\
How is that appropriating rage? People acting in a way I find problematic makes me upset, regardless of context. I speak up when I see issues, whether or not an issue directly affects me is kind of irrelevant in this case.
If you want to get technical, I’m Gray-A, but I don’t consider it large part of my identity, and haven’t really involved myself in the ace community to any large degree. Hence “they” and not “we”.
And I feel it’s problematic when straight/white/cis/male/whatever people rage out over things affecting other groups! This is not hard to understand.
But since you are Gray-A, okay.
I’d like to point out, that what you are basically saying is, if you don’t belong to a particular oppressed group, you therefore don’t have the right to care about said group, or be outraged at injustice/prejudice/erasure/etc. That is pretty problematic in my opinion.
I think you may be confusing the idea of appropriating oppression, which is a whole other thing, and certainly a valid concern, with the idea of feeling outrage at some pretty fucked up things, the latter of which is not equivalent to “appropriating rage”.
That’s nice, but I can rage out on my own and I do not like feeling as if I am being spoken over.
Hth!
You’re certainly entitled to rage out on your own, but how is saying, in short, “Oppression sucks, people need to cut that shit out,” somehow speaking over someone and appropriating something? That legitimately doesn’t make a shred of sense.
