As an Asexual, can confirm, they’re just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in “LGBTQIA+” that generally refers to multiple things under the “A”.
In the latter case, it’s left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.
As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it’s harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like “Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else”, but I’m not exactly great at fancy words… or words in general… but I try my best.
The term “boy’s club” here is really not generalizing “men” or “boys” as a whole, but rather it’s by its usage criticizing the specific group mentality it describes, that of a group of “boys” who treat women with less respect than each other, or otherwise exclude said women, as in at least some cultures is common from some generally younger “boys” who haven’t really matured past a mentality usually developed from a young age, because they lack the experience to know it’s wrong.
Yeah, I agree with that similarity to Warframe’s level of developer interaction.
Sure, in the past they’ve been slower to respond to feedback about problems, and often times old things have fallen out of relevance because something else just outright does the same thing, and more, but better.
But as it is now, DE really seems to be prioritizing listening to feedback, almost exponentially so, and as an example, bringing things up to par with what they should be at the current level of the game, a concept that much more rarely got the implementation it deserved in years before.
Meanwhile I unfortunately don’t really get the option to come out as being Ace, or Aro, to my parents, more so my dad due to his wild beliefs about the world from conspiracy theory stuff he listens to every day. And my dad is the one always making remarks about getting a girlfriend, and though the grandchildren part isn’t included, it’s implied by his expectations.
I’m similarly outward with being Ace and Aro online, just there’s not really the place for it offline, between being in a rural area with less than open older generations, and my parents as I mentioned.
Online though, mostly I end up talking about it to spread awareness, because I’m well aware of how underrepresented Asexuality and Aromanticism is, and that same lack of representation is what leads to people never learning about themselves.
That, and having Autism/ADHD makes it enjoyable for me to explain things to people anyway, so it doesn’t really get old to me.
I think one think I loved about reddit's #aaaaaaacccccccce subreddit was how inclusive it was. No matter what part of the #LGBTQ spectrum you were, your posts were often well recieved by everyone there. I hope to continue that on #kbin's aaaaaaacccccccce community
Yeah, it seems like part of being ace/aro is that understanding of what it’s like to not be exactly straight, in whichever way is specific to their kind of asexuality/aromanticism. So in general it can be way easier to understand other people being different, even if the understanding of how it feels to have attraction to someone may or may not be there. And so ace/aro people tend to be more inclusive, sometimes even more so than other parts of LGBTQIA+ it feels like.
And on that sex repulsed vs sex neutral/favorable balance, it seemed like it was a hard balance to keep there. I myself am sex repulsed, but I’m not going to complain just because someone else isn’t. If anything, I’m quite supportive of people being comfortable with what they do or don’t enjoy. So I’m not entirely sure what would avert that constant back and forth shifting of overall tone.
This, but every time my dad randomly wants to take me out somewhere because he saw a girl someplace and wants me to meet them because what I can only really term as “Girl”. Problem for him being that I have no interest just because there happens to be a girl. If I’m going to meet someone for some reason, I’d really rather have say an interest in common or something else of that sort, not just blind chance because they happen to be a certain gender.
And both of you are very much valid, as well as anyone should be. Differences of sexuality makes no person lesser for them. So what if someone is attracted or not attracted to any specific thing? We’re all people nonetheless.
