Can we get a crumb of positivity please???
i’m so tired of seeing majority hate on here. legit, almost every post on this subreddit is self hate or trauma stories. i rarely ever see anyone being happy about being ace or aro.
i do appreciate the few posts that i see celebrating asexuality, but i have to admit it is the minority of posts.
i came here looking to celebrate asexuality with other ace people, to meet other asexual people, because i’m the only ace person i know personally. i’m starting to feel like none of y’all are here for those same reasons.
it’s like an echo chamber of people saying they hate themselves for being ace, or they hate their experiences with relationships (platonic or otherwise). it feels like a spiral of seeing hate and feeling hate.
don’t we get enough of that from outside our community?????
I genuinely get a feeling of dread any time i get a notification from this subreddit. i don’t like that! i didn’t come here to feel that. i want to come here and be happy about being ace with other people who are happy to be ace, but it makes it really hard when everything i see here is so much negativity and hate.
and tbh it’s not just this ace subreddit. i’m seeing it in All Of Them.
i don’t see this kind of stuff in other lgbtq+ spaces.
not here to say you can’t vent about shitty things you’re feeling or shitty things that have happened to you, but when the only thing i ever see IS vent, maybe try focusing on parts of our asexuality that isn’t negative all the time???? please????
it’s making me not want to be a part of this community which hurts so bad because like. where else am i supposed to go????

Is it "okay" to use rainbow flags?
Long story short, I got falsely outed as gay today which wasn't a situation I was exactly prepared for. So I have a lot of pins on my bag and one of them is a rainbow, another one an ace flag. For once I just rly like it it looks cute. Then I'm asexual, but heteroromantic myself. I also had this pin before I was able to get the ace flag one and it felt like a way to represent "somehow on the spectrum of something" plus being an ally (tho it's not an ally flag just a litral rainbow). But also, rainbows, aside from being a flag, are also still rainbows.
Now turns out that someone I know has assumed that I'm gay, partially because of it 😅 Which idk how to feel about. (There was also smth I said that has apparently been understood wrong)
Do you identify with rainbow flags? Should I remove it? Is this offensive to lgbtq people? Does the rainbow include asexuality? I'm confused and kind of ashamed I've apparently sent wrong signals here
