What I have seen the past couple of days while reporting and blocking yet more of the bloody bots:

yet more posts insisting asexual and aromantic are two totally different things, 'some people are both, they're still different things'. Also some poll with only two options, trying to force us to choose between which we identify with more, ace or aro. It's both stop trying to force a split or divide that does not exist (once again fuck all of us who are both and in many cases have basically had the term aromantic (or in some cases asexual) forced on us because people are incapable of grasping that for many of they are absolutely the same thing and are completely inseparable and there is no 'split'.)

'Asexuals aren't oppressed, I can say this because I'm ace' Mate it's fucking 2024 are we seriously STILL trying to do this. Newflash: saying you're asexual doesn't make you incapable of being aphobic and just because you apparently live in some privileged little bubble where you've never experienced oppression doesn't mean you get to deny countless other people's oppression also you didn't even bother to say 'oppressed for being asexual', you literally totally forgot that other oppression exists and a huge percentage of asexual people are also oppressed for many other reasons. I hope this person grows as a person and doesn't just fall down the TERF pipeline they're probably already falling into anyway

Someone saying essentially about how they don't get kink because they're asexual and I mean sure you do you, nobody has to be kinky, and also you're a minor and maybe you'll change as you grow up but you realise right huge numbers of asexual people are kinky in fact from everything I've seen I would think asexual people are actually more likely to be kinky since we don't have the whole, you know, sexual attraction thing so in many cases something else is gonna kind of... fill that gap instead. Like kinks.

People acting like they're superior for being 'loveless'/not calling what they feel for anything or anyone ever 'love', as if a lot of that isn't literally just arguing over semantics anyway

Yet more stuff implying that aroaces are widely accepted and supported and loved unlike alloaces or alloaros when actually we're basically hated by both the ace and aro communities and get constantly blamed for everyone thinking every asexual person is also aro or vice versa. I swear some of these people are this close to trying to claim 'aroace privilege' is a thing that exists (assuming they aren't already doing that).

Way too much of people being weird about sex/people who have sex. I am sorry but you can never want sex and you can hate sex or any mention of sex without being gross about it and making weird and insulting comments about people who have sex which by the way does include plenty of asexual/aspec people. I genuinely think some of these people have 'sex repulsion' which has gone into full on phobias which are significantly impacting negatively on their life. I mean this in the kindest way possible but if the slightest vaguest mention of sex or genitals or the merest glimpse of an unclothed body in some shitty quality jpg is affecting you that badly, that is not just sex repulsion, that is certainly not asexuality, and it is something you need professional help with.

Also yeah still hundreds of those damned mostly health supplements but also plenty of porn and other random bots

The other problem with all these spam bots though in that tag is in going through it to report them I'm having to see all the not spam stuff much of which reminds me why I almost never look in that and related tags

(Since when is 'aces love garlic bread' a thing, why is that even a thing ???? I hate garlic bread, I hate garlic, I hate the taste of it and the smell of it makes me want to throw up.

Then there's all the equating asexuality to not wanting to have sex, the acting like anyone who ships an asexual character with anyone is never asexual themselves, the constant trying to foist the SAM on all asexuals and the erasure of/the shit towards aroaces/non SAM asexuals/asexuals who have sex/asexuals who would totally have sex even if they haven't yet, and the insistence that asexuality and aromanticism are TOTALLY and ALWAYS different things (fuck all of us for whom they are not I guess), the stuff about that bloody cartoon character, etc etc)
