You’re Not Helping Anyone: Examples of Acephobic Sex Positivity

How is this above picture acephobic?:

Obviously, it states that those who don’t enjoy sex are weird or unnatural. Though we all agree that slut shaming needs to end, this isn’t the way to do so. This post is an example of why asexuals will say that we feel ‘broken’.

This entire episode of Glee (x)

How is it acephobic?:

Throughout the Glee episode, it is enforced that sex is required for intimacy, those who do not show interest or abstain from sex are ‘naive and possibly frigid’ (direct quote), those who abstain from sex are just uneducated, and that everyone experiences sexual feelings once they fall in love. Though the premise is good, as it poked fun at those who were against sex education and want abstinence to be taught in schools, the episode is just…. yikes.

[tw for acephobia and ableist language] (x)

This was sent to an asexual who had wrote so in their okcupid bio. Picture reads as follows:

“Just to give you a quick idea here, I have zero interest in you at all, I just thought your answers to some of the questions were interesting.

Because many women on this site think that not sleeping with your partner before marrying them or marrying someone who is “asexual” or not attracted to anyone/thing is more of a problem than you think.

First of all, sex plays a huge part in any healthy romantic relationship, be that relationship ending in some kind of union or not. Human beings, like any other animal on this blue rock, have a single, solitary purpose in this life, procreation.

Now, I am the farthest person to say that couples should be required to marry and have children, knowing that I am reluctant on the idea of marriage and and not at all okay with the idea of having kids, but I do know that as a healthy, sane human, I am given the urge to, like all animals, procreate.

And therein lies the whole reason of my message.

Any adult human being that does not take sex seriously is obviously either far too immature to be considered an adult or is not mentally sane; see “sociopath”.

Anyway, going to leave you with those facts, I apologize if you found them offensive, but don’t bother telling me if they were, because I really don’t care. This was just somehing I wrote whitlist waiting for my….

Peace.“

How is this acephobic?:

Frankly, this is your everyday acephobe who attempts to back their “opinion” up with “science”. Though this person is hesitant themselves to marry or have children, how dare an asexual due the same! Also, people who feel the need to be downright insulting while ending it with, “I don’t really care how you respond… I just wanted to say this!” are the epitome of immature and childish. How ironic.

For those of you who do not know: Ruth Westheimer is a famous sex therapist who was very popular in the 1980s for her blunt ways of speaking about sex! She touched on many sexual topics from gynecology to the best sex positions for couples.

Tweets read as follows:

Dr. Ruth: “Studies say that 1% of the pop. (population) is asexual. To me that’s 1% too much but sexuality is a spectrum so good that it’s so low and not 10%.”

Asexual Pride: “The insinuation that we’re a waste of space is offensive. Learn about our community before making blind, ignorant assumptions.”

Rachel J. Morris: @Dr.Ruth boo. I’m happy with my asexuality, asexuality isn’t something that ought to not exist, or have too many of us.

How is this acephobic?:

You go, Rachel! What Dr. Ruth has said translates into most asexual’s minds as, “Ya’ll are a waste of space because you don’t procreate or pleasure someone else.”. What she’s said is an example of why a good percent of the asexual community are hesitant to join or feel uncomfortable in sex positive spaces.

I know everyone’s all freaking out about Bayonetta’s up-taunt as it applies to Lucas, but let’s go down the list, shall we?

1. Rosalina’s mother died, probably thousands of years ago
2. Link’s mom is either dead or missing in almost all incarnations
   
3. Same goes for Zelda
4. Ganondorf’s mothers are the Twinrova, who Link has killed at least once and who have killed themselves to resurrect Ganondorf at least once
5. Samus’ mother was eaten by Ridley right in front of her when she was a child
6. Fox’s mother is unknown, but it’s safe to assume that she’s dead
7. Lucas’ mother was, of course, killed by the Mecha-Drago created by Porky’s Pigmask Army
8. Marth’s mother was eaten by Morzas
9. Roy’s mother died of an illness when he was young
10. Ike’s mother was killed by his father, when he was driven mad by Lehran’s Medallion
11. Robin’s mother is dead
12. Corrin’s mother was killed by a mysterious and spoilery hooded man
13. Shulk is an orphan
14. Ryu is an orphan
15. Cloud’s mother was killed in the Nibelheim Incident, which was caused by Sephiroth
16. Bayonetta’s own mother was killed by Loptr

This was a seriously ill-conceived taunt

The person who causes anxiety in someone without realizing it

Or the person who lets their friend suppress the anxiety until it explodes and never confronts the actual problem?

Because if the person who was causing the anxiety never knew, how could they hope to change?

Here’s the first sneak peek from Powerpuff Girls!

This is what happens when you call Buttercup “Princess”.

(SPOILER: DO NOT call Buttercup “Princess”) 👊💢 

Did they just borrowed sound effects from Johnny Test? That’s…not a good sign

I don’t hear any JT sound effects.

I don’t like this.

Which isn’t to say I hate it. It just leaves no impression on me. Despite foregoing the funky retro look of the original series’ art style and looking exactly like Adventure Time or Clarence instead, and despite lacking so many of the core original series crew, it’s still obviously trying its damndest to be the original series. Which makes no sense, because we already have six seasons of the original series. Why are they trying to do the same thing again?

It just feels like a hollow imitation. It’s like the animated equivalent of a little kid playing dress-up in mommy’s clothes. They tried to emulate what they saw, but they can’t possibly be what the original show was. The whole thing just seems utterly pointless to me.

Okay, I’m gonna give my thoughts on this so far, personally I won’t judge the whole series by this clip alone, but that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize what we’ve been shown so far.

First off, the art style. Now I’m all up for redesigning classic characters but this feels more like it’s copying other modern CN shows instead of doing it’s own thing. If the PowerPuff Girls hadn’t shown up I would have thought this was a clip from Clarence. Speaking of the PowerPuff Girls one thing that has bothered me about this reboot is that they barely changed the designs for the three main girls. I mean I guess they were going for the old “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” thing, but we had 6 seasons of the original. If you’re gonna reboot it, try something new with the concept, maybe make it more complex, more detailed. Instead these are just the same designs but with one or two minor tweaks and because they’re still darn in the flat retro style they stick out like a swore thumb when placed next to the Clarence-est characters.

And might as well get the big one out of the way, I do not like Buttercup’s new voice, at all. She doesn’t even sound like Buttercup (at least the original version). She sounds bored to be honest. It feels like she’s trying to be tough when she actually isn’t at all. Maybe I would let it slide if they were trying for something overall completely different with the design and tone of the show, but by the looks of this teaser they’re trying to redo the same comedy style of the original series, not to mention (I’ll say this once again) they’re using practical the same character design so hearing this new Buttercup voice coming out of the slightly tweaked classic Buttercup design is pretty darn jarring, making the whole scene clash.

I’m probably still gonna give this show a shot and watch a full episode or two before I pass my full judgement on it, but this clip… It’s not looking good for me folks.

well as for the design of the girls…
Remembe when they tried to redesign it to be in a style similar to samurai jack and the whole internet threw a shitstorm because of it?

Mew was thought to be extinct during the creation of the pokedex. Their attempts to clone from mew fossils like with aerodactyl and kabuto were not correct and resulted in something new. mewtwo.
