Awesome page! I like Anwar’s perspective here. It’s not an easy world for ace people.
*sigh of solidarity with Anwar in that first panel*
One of these days maybe advertisers will realize not every single solitary product needs sex to sell. Or at least maybe they could realize that an endless parade of sexy soap/sexy biscuit mix/sexy uncomfortable supportive undergarments starts to look kind of ridiculous after a while, and not just to the asexual folks in their target demographic.
Sometimes it gets lonely. I’d like to be able to talk to someone about my asexuality. But it feels like the entire world is geared to something I can’t feel. The people I’ve come out to didn’t believe me when I told them.
This. So much this!
And then they try to poke holes in your claim, asking you all kinds of lewd and personal questions.
So I’m not the only one who lays in bed like Anwar!
I can relate to the loneliness and alienation from others/society in general. When I went to the local munch, it was the first time I was open with people about being asexual and they didn’t quirk an eyebrow, instead they welcomed with open arms. It was nice!
Oh, you too!? It was odd, because it was the first time ever anyone had ever called me “normal,” and it was in response to telling someone I have no kinks, nor an interest in sex. I had to explain normal would be like vanilla, but I’m more like a glass of water.
Ow, I need to stop reading good stuff like this while watching my soap operas. I got this image in my head that this page is DIRE FORESHADOWING of Anwar meeting another Ace, and Chris getting UNNECESSARILY JEALOUS of how well they get along!
*throws TV out window*
Eh, I’m asexual, and I’ve never really been bothered by all the sex everywhere.
I can’t really relate to Anwar here, but I think that’s probably because I believe I am unusual in that regard. I’m pretty much in the closet (two people know), and I’m perfectly comfortable. I have no desire to leave the closet (not out of fear of how I’ll be treated if people knew, I just don’t have any desire to tell people.)
I’m a very private person. I don’t /get/ lonely.
I have friend who is asexual but unlike Anwar feels no need for romance. Maybe that’s what precipitates his loneliness. He wants relationships with people but not a sexual one and that can be hard to negotiate in a sexual world. . My friend feels no such frustrations because she doesn’t want to pursue anything deeper then friendship.
Everybody gets lonely, even people who are in relationships.
Just wanted to link this here and make sure Tab knew someone was using an image he made:
http://www.bubblews.com/news/5062917-girl039s-logic-on-bed
I don’t see any credit given to him. :(
Why the fuck do people keep using this picture of JD like that. :|
Arrg why is that page like out of context internet candy?
It totally sucks that credit wasn’t given but can I be amused by how completely out-of-context and incorrectly used this picture is?
It’s especially nice when people steal an image and then use it to illustrate an opinion that is incredibly misogynist. How did they even FIND it?
That… that isn’t what happened in the comic at all! How dare they! That’s so disrespectful!
Furthermore, is there a way to leave a comment revealing the true context of the image? I mean, damn! I could make an account, but then I would feel like I’m supporting them. Damn it, I’ll do it anyway.
hmmm…i relate to this too much sometimes. i love aven, but it just can’t replace a real-life ace or aro friend. :( i’ve gone to meetups, but there was no one my age or from my university.
I get like this so often and I think it could even be worse when you’re aromantic cause if it isn’t about sex it’s about romance
I saw the panel with the forum posts, and I thought, “Huh, those look like AVEN posts.” Then I read the commentary, and I was like, “Well of course!”
I have recommended this comic to people who want a good story that involves asexuality as a prime topic.
This page is so relatable. Ace representation gives me life.
I can relate so much, esp since where I live even not being a racist seems like a good reason to treat people like garbage
