Am I the only one who feels exhausted by the constant sexualization in fan communities?

I don't know if it's just me, but no matter what I get into—games, movies, anime, manga, etc.—there always seems to be a huge part of the community that constantly (over)sexualizes the characters.

I want to feel like I am part of a community that values things - story, characters - more, but almost every second post is about sexualizing someone and as an asexual, its so frustrating that people only want/like to posts these kind of things.

Am I the only one who struggles to understand why sexualization seems to be the top priority for so many people in these fandoms?

I think I might be a Bambi lesbian??

I enjoy cuddling and hugging and hand holding but only with women. I’m definitely more aromantic and asexual towards men. I still have some problems with anxiety and dating but I think that has more to do with trauma than anything else.

What is Love (don't hurt me, no more)?

Just watched a video describing the death of male friendships (here if you want it, not needed), and near the end, there is this statement (summarized):

Friendship is side by side

Romance is facing each other, to make an 'us'

I am lost in this. For me, I thought friendship, deepening, leads to romance, and then possibly sex. A few years ago I found out that sex can be jumped to or bypassed. (someone finding someone hot means they want them that way, no friendship required, just wham bam thank you ma'am)

Tonight, due to this video, it hinted at the fact that a romantic relationship is not just a deep friendship. I am having a rough time with this revelation, that there may be something else that is there.

Issue is, that (at least in English) the term that is used is love for all of these. So even looking up definitions of romance vs friendship is a mess.

I long for a long term connection, to someone that is there not just based on circumstance, but being. We can do separate activities in the same room, but they are there (Parallel play). Turns out this is not under the definition of romance or love currently.

Just...lost

Sorry for rant. If you can help, great. Picture unrelated but covers cat tax

Just more label stuff, but definitions mean I can talk about it.

Relationship advice for an ace

I would really like to have a relationship without sex in the future. Like REALLY without sex, not the kind of ”she will give in at some point” stuff. I also don’t really like the idea of open relationship. Has anyone gotten this kind of relationship to work, how and how did you and your significant other meet?

I’m really lonely right now and dating apps seem like a disaster for ace people. I was in a relationship sometime ago where my parter was actively trying to coerse me to have sex with him, I don’t want to have another experience like that. I would just like to have someone to prioritise who would also prioritise me, and to have chill gaming/movie nights. Someone to feel safe with and someone to love.

Why does Aphobia even exist?

Okay so I get (note that I do not agree with) the reasoning for LGBT hate, it's religious, god designed humans as perfect (debatable) and humans reproduce through having a man and woman

But like, asexuals, aromantics. Those are FREE monks! Can you imagine getting a shit ton of practitioners for your cult religion for FREE?!?! Heck I'm 70% sure a lot of religious monks were a-spec

This is why Buddhism is better I don't know anything about Buddhism but my step mom is a Buddhist and she's cool with LGBT

Side note: though it's worth noting that it would be way better to just not hate people that literally don't hurt others

Edit: for those wondering the armor is from the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille (France) it's at floor -1, also Buddhists can be homophobic which I didn't know since I only know one of them but yeah :(

I'd be rich of this show.

A friend suggested I watched "To hot to handle" as a joke. I watched the first season and I could win so easily. What do you mean I can go on free holiday to a tropical island, free food and drinks, swimming and get £100,000 off it. just give me my 2DS and a 1/700 scale modle ship to build and im set. Lol
