I think I kind of hate everyone involved in this post. And the linked post. Maybe not korinna, she's kind of cool, but the fact that she's even in this mess is annoying to me.

Does it really fucking matter that we play this grand game of semantics? I hate the wanks that try to form some hierarchy of oppression and make people declare their 'cred' before they're allowed to say anything. Does it matter whether asexuals are systematically oppressed on the basis of asexuality or if their erasure and social strife are caused by misogyny and homophobia? It's still people being dicks to other groups of people and the dicks should stop being dicks and we should work to make the world less dickish to asexuals. Hell knows I've had my string of social troubles and psychological anguish over the fact that a mere squishy kiss downright disgusts me (with a certain specific exception, and only under very specific circumstances) and sex is and never will be an option. If I could get rid of this personal deficiency I'd do it in a heartbeat and my social life might be highly improved for it. But this mess is really not helping.

I love armchair activism as much as the next recreation of an xkcd comic, but hell's balls this is just ridiculous. What are we accomplishing here? Feeling good about ourselves for being right on the internet in thread upon thread upon jesus fucking christ on a cracker not this shit again.

I don't even care who's right here. I just want all of them to shut up.

EDIT: Also, is there some massive filing cabinet somewhere that chronicles every single potentially problematic thing that every single sf_drama member has said? Because with the amount of times I see someone post and then five other people come by and say "Hey, remember that time you said that one thing? You suck!" within minutes, it really makes me wonder.
