aphobephobe: preoccupiedpepper: vaspider: holybikinisbatman: lestermygaard: excessively-english-little-b: I just… wanna remind people that asexuality was classed as a mental disorder by the DSM all the way up until 2013…. Because I feel like people don’t know this or like to ignore it because it doesn’t fit into their “asexual people don’t face discrimination” rhetoric. Asexuality was only…

megalesbian6000: problematicfemme: My mom: I guess what I’ve figured about lesbian relationships is like you’re looking for a best friend Me: wouldn’t you want your partner to be your friend regardless of your sexuality My mom: it doesn’t work like that for straight couples. Men and women can’t be friends we don’t even like each…

challahfemme: a lot of us talk about protecting questioning wlw, compulsory het and what not, and honestly those conversations can’t happen without being willing to directly address the messy ways in which that manifests. when we talk about whose sexuality is and is not authentic, we are not having a rhetorical debate, we are dealing…

francescadarimini: bindingaffinity: brutereason: Sexual identity labels are maps, not territory. Anybody who claims that maps are useless has clearly never gone adventuring, and neither has anyone who claims that maps are a perfectly accurate representation of the territory. Also, much like maps, there are nationalists who get very very pissy about where to draw the…

This is kind of related to your last ask…but I have a question about representing sexuality in comics. Why are a lot of artists trying so hard to more or less shoe-horn gay or bi characters in their comics for the sake of having them there? Even when the focus of the story isn’t romantic at all, it’s like some people just tick off boxes for certain characters to be gay. I can understand wanting to be inclusive, but it does seem like people are really pressured to have sexual diversity now.

secondlina: arythusa: I think the simplest way to answer this is to adapt a question I asked in the last response: If you’re going to ask, “Why should this character be queer?” you should also ask yourself, “Why should this character be straight?”  To paraphrase your words, why do we have so many straight characters in our…

Can satan come teach a class at my school

Amusingly, among the Western European demon-conjuring cults of the 16th Century, many demons were greatly valued for their skill as teachers, often to the point that grimoires would place greater emphasis on the subjects each demon was qualified to teach than on their supernatural powers.

For example, this guy?

Teaches moral philosophy.

And this creepy dude?

He’s your astronomy professor.

Seriously, look this stuff up some time – it’s wild.

I now want a comic or cartoon series about demon teachers and their human students. Not sure if it should be college or high school.

“Aw, man – I got Professor Lionwheel. I hear if you fail his exams, he eats your legs.”

“Yeah, but he’s supposed to be really good about keeping regular office hours.”

“Huh. Sort of a trade-off, really.”

Definitely a college story then…

half-sassed: Heterosexuality is a couch. Nobody even bats an eye if you keep it in the living room for everyone to see–it’s simply expected. I mean, where the hell else would you keep it? Hidden in a bedroom? No, that would be weird. Homosexuality is a bed. Having a bed in a public room is…
