I will defend aces/aros who enjoy reading or writing romantic or sexual stuff in fiction to my dying day but
I also wanna talk about the overwhelming feeling that no one will read a fic we write if we don’t include some ship or another, how much we’re told “if it’s not rated M it’s not worth reading"–followed up by “the fic was rated M and it didn’t even have smut scenes!” of course
how many times I’ve seen fellow ace writers talk about how they are trying to teach themselves to write smut they’re repulsed by because people keep demanding it in their works, how many times I’ve seen fellow aro writers buckle under the pressure to make the central relationships in their works romantic
how when we write about characters with nonromantic sexual relationships we get swarmed with “I can’t wait for them to open their heart~”, how when we write about characters with romantic nonsexual relationships we get “I hope they give in soon~”
how difficult it is for sex- and romance-repulsed people to find works without it, how frequently we’re guilted or pressured when we try to write it for ourselves
I am 100% behind the “it’s okay to be ace/aro and enjoy stuff with romance/sex” posts forever but we really need to talk about the pervasive pressure that we have to include it no matter what, whether we want to or not
we need to talk about the overwhelming culture in fandom that a story is worthless without it

(Anonymous) 2015-06-20 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)someone rage at the annoying asexies with me
This anon is dying to see Alfred as Mr. Jones, the bizarre new teacher at World Academy who's maybe a little /too/ enthusiastic with his Earth and Space and/or Physics lessons, but somehow still manages to make people learn...without them even realizing it! =O
Even more, she is dying to see Student A's blossoming crush and ensuing pursuit of a relationship with the oblivious teacher (preferably successful, and with some kinky student-topping-teacher sexytiems in the classroom).
No real preference for Student A, because I support Al with anyone...but Bonus Points will be awarded for Japan, Korea, Estonia...or Canada (the first three because techy/nerdy students crushing on a quirky/enthusiastic science teacher seems oddly appropriate...and Canada because the quiet!student secretly daydreaming of screwing the teacher in the middle of class is just unf)

"In the brave new Galtian world of corporate America, which includes Hollywood, a peon is to do whatever they are told, wholeheartedly, and be glad they have a job at all."
You could not have made yourself sound more ignorant if you were actively trying. "Galtian". Oh, brother. Gotta love you sort who don't let the fact that you know absolutely nothing about Ayn Rand or her books stop you from tearing your hair out over them. Had you actually known THE first thing about Atlas Shrugged, you'd realize how contradictory your statement is. All the moreso since you're no doubt just another regressive Leftist who feels that everybody must bow down and surrender all rights and earned income to almighty Big Brother Government, but rants and raves incoherently about how anyone can think and act for themselves is a "peon".

(Anonymous) 2015-06-20 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)i want to whisper in their ears
it's okay to be straight
it's okay to be straight
tbh i h8 when there's a random phoned-in sex scene that just detracts from the story
like, it's all interesting and plausible and carefully plotted, and then suddenly they start fuckin for no raisin
if the reason ur sex scenes are so pointless and ridiculous is bc ur asexy then fine, u do u & take them out

(Anonymous) 2015-06-20 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)try going outside instead
It's hms_anon, they hate asexuals because they can't comprehend not banging a new guy every week while claiming to hate men.
For anyone feeling discouraged, forgotten about, and left out this pride month, I just want you to know that there was a big ace flag hung up in a bookstore near me yesterday. We're being recognized, slowly but surely. Keep going, you matter and you are just as much a part of this community as anyone else.
checking this out too, liking it
