User17k 211 Posted October 10, 2014 So, when did you realize that you weren't straight? For me it was when I saw Riku turn back into himself at the end of KH2. From that moment I knew I couldn't be 100% straight, given the fact that I felt more attracted to Riku than Kairi even though she now had long hair and wore a skirt. What about you? What made you realize that you were gay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqua7KH 5,395 Posted October 10, 2014 I realized I was gay as soon as I smiled for the first time. I realized that I wasn't straight when my dad told me to stop slouching. 8 Sora_Roxas26, Josuke Higashikata, waytothexdawnx and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AuraAce 1,126 Posted October 10, 2014 Gay in what context. If you mean the homosexual way, i'm not. If you mean the happy way, since I was born. 1 Sorual reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost 1,857 Posted October 10, 2014 I'm asexual and I knew in 10th grade. I dunno, just kinda happened over the course of the schoolyear. I fall for personalities, regardless of gender. I guess I never really "came to terms" with it, it also just "happened". Wasn't a big deal for me then, and I could give less of a shit about it now. But I suppose my first girl crush was in 10th grade, sat next to me in biology and she was jsut so nice to me (obviously didn't swing thatw ay though, and she was popular whereas I was the nerd who wore pajama pants to school). Then I ignored it but developed a crush on Princess Zelda, Rachel Alucard (blazblue), and one of my English teachers. Despite being ace I realized that I just loved boobs and the idea of women too much to ONLY ever fall in love with men; boobs are amazing! There's more than two sexual preferences, FYI. Don't pull a tumblr now; I'm sure he knows, he was just making a generalization, lmao 7 Kaweebo, waytothexdawnx, Sora_Roxas26 and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demyx. 10,064 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I don't think thinking Riku is attractive makes you gay. He sorta looks like a girl.

Ghost 1,857 Posted October 12, 2014 Sorry, not trying to label ya. I was confused by the way you described it.Lol, dont be sorry. I wasnt offended at all, I just don't try to stay away from the things that tumblr invents. I'm asexual and that's all I need to know. Shard, you mean Demiromantic, since romantic and sexual desires aren't necessarily the same.See wouldn't like everyone be demiromantic though? Like you typically don't just fall in love with people (at least not seriously) at first sight. It takes some getting to know people before you establish a serious relationship. That's kind of why I don't see a point in "demi- _____" being a real thing. Not trying to take a shot any anyone who is, but still. I just thought that everyone got to know people before getting together. Or it's something gradual that happens, lol 1 Jilly Shears reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MysticVriska 70 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) It doesn't work exactly like that. For example, the falling for process is generally the same, but for a Demiromantic, they need a powerful emotional bond before those feelings would even start developing period. Whereas you compare to most people and they can get crushes almost instantly, etc,. Just look at how many people in RL, or even Fiction fall for people wlel before they even know what the person is truly like. Whereas a Demiromantic would need to have known this person on at least that kind of level before romantic attraction is possible. Speaking of, it's the attraction element that's important to take into consideration as well. It's like how you can have Demisexuals who have sex drives, and can enjoy having sex, they just aren't sexually attracted to people at the rate most people get. It's all about that bond for actual attraction to that person in that way, same with a Demiromantic, but in the romantic attraction spectrum. I hope that explanation helps!

MysticVriska 70 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't say tumblr itself invented that, but a lot of things spread and become wlel known because of Tumblr users, since it's that kind of place. It's not an inherently bad place, it's just not used as well as it should be, and it has a lot of potential to do great things for various communities.

Ghost 1,857 Posted October 13, 2014 Just look at how many people in RL, or even Fiction fall for people wlel before they even know what the person is truly like. ...But that's not really love. That could just be considered a crush, lust or extreme infatuation. It's not truly love. Whereas a Demiromantic would need to have known this person on at least that kind of level before romantic attraction is possible. Speaking of, it's the attraction element that's important to take into consideration as well. But wouldn't that just be a natural, occurring thing that could happen? Like, I personally just don't see a need for someone to identify as that...like, it's natural. It's like how you can have Demisexuals who have sex drives, and can enjoy having sex, they just aren't sexually attracted to people at the rate most people get. I still don't understand o_O That's completely normal, I don't see why it needs a label. Again I mean no offense towards any demisexuals out there, like, you have the right to like whatever you want and I'm not judging you for that (even if I were, who cares because my opinion doesn't matter?) I just don't understand the need for a label there, lol. Then again, maybe it's just because I never cared for labels and I say I'm asexual just because it saves me an explanation. "What's your sexuality?" "Oh, I'm asexual." "So...what do you like?" "Meh. Boys, girls, it depends on their personality." "So wouldn't you be bi?" "I don't have a sex drive idgaf." "Oh." "I honestly just don't give enough of a shit lol I like what I like, I don't care what it's called." ^---actual conversation between a friend and I who asked if I reproduced asexually But yeah I apologize if I'm coming off as an ass or anything, I just legit don't get it. But if it makes someone happy then rock on. I'm not even sure about my sexual orientation, but I quess it's okay not to label oneself? Exactly, I totally agree with this. Like I'll slap a label on myself just because it saves me a long explanation, but in reality I think some people are far too obsessed with labels. Like if it makes you more comfortable, GREAT, wonderful for you. But if you're like, confining yourself in this labeled box.. it's just kinda dumb to me. Like, I have this friend, right? Identified as lesbian for years. Apparently recently she fell for a guy and they're dating now, and she felt almost bad because she was afraid that people would think that way of all lesbians. Well, now she's dropped any labels completely and she's much happier Tumblr invented that? I've never seen it on Tumblr, just some people at school have said that they were. Oh god the tumblr is spreading to irl schools Loljk . Yeah I doubt tumblr actually created it, I feel like they just made it more popular and it spread like fire in a negative context, as many (not everything) on that site does. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just the whole special snowflake thing. I lost it when people started using animal pronouns. At that point I knew I was totally and completely done. On one hand it's absolutely wonderful that more and more people are finding themselves and identifying with things that make them happy, but...some people just get ridiculous. I feel bad for being pissed off at it but I feel like loads of them would be a lot happier if they did what they felt like without having to label every single little thing. Idk, my main fear is that people make things look like jokes and are doing harm for serious issues. But idk if that's still going on I stopped following that stuff on tumblr Then again if an obsession with labels is what makes someone happy, then good for them. I just could never live like that o.o Too many labels, too many confined boxes. 2 Jilly Shears and littleTSUBAME reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
