Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual?
Aeao@lemmy.world 1 week agoDo you have a name? Names are just labels. Why do you care if other people can summon you. Stop worrying about other people and stop haveing a name.
It’s not about what people think about us it’s about ease of communication. I can give someone a detailed explanation of the complexity of my attraction
or I can say I’m ace and be done with it. Ace is close enough to what I am. Much like it makes it easier for someone to get in contact with you if they know your damn name.
Labels exist for a reason. We are pattern recognition machines mostly.

I don’t really use my name or other people’s names when interacting with them, no. I also don’t really use labels.
Because I don’t really give a fuck about these weird arbitrary definitions of 150 pride flags that angsty teens on tumblr made up to feel special.

“I don’t use people’s names”
Okay. Do you have any friends at all? Who are they?
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I say ‘hey man’.
Aeao@lemmy.world 1 week ago
But they aren’t here. Tell me about your friends.
Me and your friend are meeting for the first time at a party and you are introducing us? Rember you can’t use names.
What does your phone book on your cell look like? No names or labels.
By the way ”man” is a label

Well hate it quietly then. You aren’t any different than the bigots. You won’t hang out with anyone who uses any kind of label and you demand people stop because it bothers you.
Btw it must be hard for you to order food considering things don’t have labels. Hamburger is an arbitrary label. So is steak. And beef, and beer, and bears.
lol you use labels all the time you just want to feel superior to others.
I don’t like sports but i don’t bring it because im not judging people who do like sports. I don’t complain, I just don’t watch the sports. Oh sorry I shouldn’t have used the word “sport” that’s a label and I know they scare you.
This is human nature. It’s part of our brains way of processing things. You don’t categorize or sort anything?
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 week ago
typical lemmy. ‘if you disagree with me or challenge me you are just a hateful bigot’ straight to the personal attack because you have nothing of substance to say.
No, life is pretty easy for me. I don’t agonize over the labels of things. I mostly ignore them. Just like I ignore lazy relativism arguments that think words have no meaning… but who hypocritically get very defensive about those very same words.
Aeao@lemmy.world 1 week ago
lol I know more about words and their meanings than you do. Man is absolutely a label even if you are using it wrong.
You absolutely use labels all the time. It’s how the brain works.
Btw: bigot is
a person who is stubbornly, obstinately, or unreasonably attached to their own beliefs, opinions, or prejudices and is intolerant toward those who differ.
So yeah I used bigot correctly.
