He's probably a ginger, dem souls are heavy.

Largely Irish, yes. :V

GOOD GODS WHY DID I CLICK A TUMBLR LINK AUGH I'M SCARRED FOR LIFE*


WHAT THE HELL DOES "DEMISEXUAL" EVEN MEAN



*Probably actually just the next two minutes or so.   

Only fucks attracted to demigods, of course. Like Hercules. Or Heracles. I can't remember any demigods other than him? Strange.

WHAT THE HELL DOES "DEMISEXUAL" EVEN MEAN

A secondary sexual orientation of someone who is attracted to people they share an emotional bond with. This may go against their primary sexual orientation: "if it's you, it's okay."

[Shadowlord]

So like Chirlane McCray, Bill de Blasio's wife, then?

That reeks of special-snowflake-itis

Only attracted to Demi Moore, I guess.

[Sonlirain]

Well it's basically saying "I'm gay for [Insert person you are gay for]"

That's even understandable but tumblr spawned some really vile crap and serves as an echo chamber that makes people actually believe that their fetishes or other deviations are 100% ok and acceptable to go public with.

And if you don't agree you are obviously a bigot and should die.

[Orange Wizard]

My problem with tumblr/similar is the labels. Every retarded little thing needs a label. It's ridiculous.

[EnigmaticHat]

As I've heard, demi means they won't feel any attraction to someone unless they already have an emotional/romantic bond with them.  Its a subgroup of asexual that's somewhere in between being asexual and not being asexual (thus the name).

"If its you its ok" isn't exactly what its about.  Its more "if we went on some dates it may or may not eventually be ok and I don't always know in advance".  As I understand it its one of those sexualities that makes dating and sex and all that kinda difficult.

Why the sod do we need names for this

[karhell]

Cause it's a hell of a lot shorter than describing the whole thing every time.

[EnigmaticHat]

Because

A. Its not the same thing as being asexual, since people who are demi still might want to have sex.

B.  Think about it from their perspective, they want to go on dates and such and its easier/more legitimate sounding to say one word then the whole paragraph of explanation.

Still seems really poncy to me

[Tiruin]

Still seems really poncy to me

That may be because there's a gap of knowledge fitting that space.
But yeah, it's a thing. Being demisexual is a thing. :v

[Yoink]

A fairly stupid thing.
