I am asexual and this is how I see it. I feel like the framing of"this is offensive to asexuals" in the Pastebin is a little dramatic, as to me it's less about asexuality than it is about failing to be forthright about head canons on intense subjects like abuse that could seriously impact canon mates. It sounds like the L has that primarily head canon for the drama (and maybe shipping?), not anything to do with asexuality as a whole.

Your constant attention-seeking is really uncomfortable to watch, and I can't help but think you're way too old to be behaving this way. Not everything is about you and your problems, many of which you are actively perpetuating by making excuses and doing nothing to change your patterns.
Based on the ghost town your plurks tend to be, I'm not the only person avoiding getting closer to you OOC. You're not a bad person, but you need to get it together, and no one can do that for you.

I can't help but feel angry at all of the denial you're in. I messed up and I have admitted that, but you were not the only one who was hurt. I did not force you to wait until it was too late to say something, and I feel like I went from your personal project to try and fix me (which I never asked for or wanted) while also getting the perks of someone who would listen to you and your thoughts and feelings in an already one-sided dynamic, to being ignored the second it stopped being convenient. I tried, I put in an effort, even though you weren't the only person experiencing a bad year, but no matter what I did you always assumed the worst even over irrelevant things. I was damned if I did, damned if I didn't.

But I learned something from you, so I guess I'm grateful for that. I know I will never get an apology from you, or any sort of acknowledgement, because it's easier to see ourselves as completely in the right than admit we ever did anything wrong. I hope I never see you again.

tbh it's up there with the "trans saitama" headcanon with how unnecessary and fetishy it is.

it was kind of unfortunate to see the sayo in that plurk, who's a character that is both canon trans and a victim of genital mutilation.

sorry, what?

having a real hard time following where the second line came from since neither trans headcanons nor genital mutilation headcanons come up in the original plurk

chemical castration is a form of genital mutilation, anon.

dda but what i personally found offensive was the "Ace would be a very clean and neat solution to a very unusual and scarring situation, and it doesn't feel realistic to me" and the "I know a lot of ace people who are functioning and happy adults, which is a huge reason I hesitate to slap the label on L, who is a very broken and stunted person." it's the implication that being ace/not being ace is somehow connected to a person's past experiences instead of simply being the way they were born.

no. no, it is not. chemical castration interferes with the production of sex hormones but doesn't meaningfully alter the structure or function of the genitals.

this is like calling suppressing thyroid hormones "thyroid removal".

and don't well-ackshually me with putative tissue changes due to long-term use of anti-androgens. it is in no way morally or medically equivalent to going at someone's genitals with a knife.

This could apply to so many people. There is someone on my timeline that I keep around for old times' sake but they have woe-is-me plurks so often that I've unfollowed and re-followed them a few times.

Some of these folks are pretty decent and definitely not namedrop worthy but they should take a step back and see if their plurks are mostly/all on the same unhappy theme. Plurk/DWRP is not their therapist, etc.

you realise that if this is true then taking hormonal birth control also counts as genital mutilation by that logic

both things exist to stop you from reproducing and also often have an impact on sex drive after all

i am so fucking tired of my players treating me like shit.

i'm doing this because i love the hobby and i genuinely enjoy writing events and doing mod work. but now, i feel like i'm finally starting to understand why so many mods just ghost their fucking games.

go thank your fucking mods. it's the literally the least you can do, but at least it's something.

i reeeeeally think you need to sit down and talk with a competent therapist bc i'm pretty sure you got a disorder, and not just because i'm bitter and salty.

get help before you make more people bitter and salty and tired of your shit.

It's almost been three years since I ended contact with you. It wasn't because of anything you did, but because of my own insecurities which I have not yet gotten over like I had hoped. I regret it and think about you. I wish I could apologize to you directly, but I don't want to hurt you more by coming back into your life unprompted. I miss you and I hope you are thriving. I'm sorry I hurt you.
