I am not tolerating ace-spec exclusionists...

Their arguments are so terrible God dammit

"Oh no asexuality isn't a spectrum you're just not as horny and sex-obsessed as society says"

Sweetie, learn the difference between horniness and attraction, you're embarrassing yourself.

"Zero isn't a spectrum. Either you're asexual or you're not."

Never mind the fact that there are an infinite decimals which can be rounded of to zero. Terrible analogy.

"Not everyone feels the same level of attraction. You aren't ace, you're just allo"

Umm, do you hear yourself? The fact that not everyone feels the same degree of attraction is exactly why asexuality is a spectrum; some people can go for ages without feeling attraction, and when they do it's barely noticeable. Some people attraction only under very specific circumstances, and that too, may be weak.Learn to acknowledge experiences ffs, it's A SPECTRUM.

Ace-spec exclusionists are stupid, intolerant bigots, and the rest of us will not welcome them.

being queer is actually so cool

looking at the cis/het/allo/amato/normativity and just going:

"no thanks."

trans folks - your gender is yours, created by you, for you, never thrust upon you

non-binary folks - society said "boy or girl", you said "yeah no."

pan/bi folks - you see that someones attractiveness is not based on their gender, but who they are

aro/ace folks - you look into one of societies greatest developments: romantic/sexual relationships and simply turn away, doing your own thing and expanding what relationships, platonic or not, can be

gender-fluid/bigender folks - your gender is different sometimes? do you see how cool that is?

gay/lesbian folks - the biggest lie we were taught as kids is that love is between a man and a woman. you disprove this, showing just how wide love can be

non-labelled folks - you are YOU. and that is amazing and worth celebrating

micro-labelling - that super specific thing? there's a word for it

hey! im aromantic and i have a boyfriend. yeah. im one of those partnering aros, there ARE aros that date. that being said…

STOP USING US AS AN EXCUSE TO ELIMINATE AROMANTIC AND ASEXUAL REPRESENTATION. WE DONT GET A LOT OF THAT. ITS NOT HARD TO HEADCANON THIS CHARACTER OR THAT CHARACTER AS ASPEC EVEN IF (OR ESPECIALLY IF) THEYRE IN A RELATIONSHIP. QPRS EXIST FRIENDS EXIST. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS.

this has been a PSA, thank you.

OP uses it/he/that/thing

A lot of people are not going to like me for saying this but…it needs to be said. And no one is even going to read this but…vent time!

For starters,

MOVIE TERESA AND BOOK TERESA ARE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT.

I know that people realise that movie Teresa only got her memories later on and made her decision on whether the gladers should be given up for a cure. Yet people seem to miss the fact that this DOESN’T happen in the books. So let’s talk about some things book Teresa has done.

Just so it’s clear, I UNDERSTAND why people don’t hate Teresa. I understand people not thinking she is evil, OKAY? I get that. Bc when I too look at the situation of The Maze Runner from an outside perspective without emotional attachments to the characters I can understand the importance of doing what they could to find a cure. The good of the many and all that jazz.

Now something that people SOMEHOW seem to forget is that book Teresa DIDN’T just do things for ‘the good of the many’ and even when she did she was super heartless about it. She cared for Thomas a whole lot more than anyone else so I don’t believe it’s a matter of her wanting to save everyone too.

1. In the books Teresa knew basically EVERYTHING—even if she didn’t she knew enough—that was going to happen to the boys. At times one word could have saved lots of lives and Wicked still would have got their variables or whatever. For instance she knew Chuck was going to be controlled by Wicked to jump in front of Thomas when Gally shoots him. The same way they were forcing Gally. She also knew other stuff that was happening in the trials for like how she could have at least said something about IDK MAYBE THE BIG MOLTEN METAL BALLS THAT LITERALLY BURNT THOSE KIDS ALIVE.

2. In the end when she planned on saving Thomas and no one else. UMM SO WE JUST FORGOT THAT THAT HAPPENED? It is crazy to me how people portray Teresa as super caring of everyone and stuff bc if YOU were in the maze she would not give two shits if you lived or died. As well as how everyone but Thomas were ‘subjects’ to her.

3. Teresa’s whole ‘I love you Thomas. We’re in this together’ and not only lying to him about the fact he was going to have his memory swiped and not her but manipulating him into comforting her in that bit in fever code that she says “tell me that we’ll survive this. Tell me that we will save our friends together”—something like that anyways. She KNEW the maze was gonna kill most of the kids yet she made Thomas say that right before she let Paige drug him and wipe his memories etc.

4. Teresa’s whole ‘if I didn’t go with Wicked’s plan they would have killed you Thomas” really says a lot about her care for literally anyone that ISN’T Thomas.

5. Teresa’ reaction to Minho calling her a traitor in the scorch when she shrugged and said “I’m sick of apologising. I did what I had to to” like that is SO insensitive to EVERYTHING Minho went through! Have you no empathy???

6. Before that when she whacked Thomas on the head with a gas chamber and spear much more than even necessary has me with mixed feelings about how much she truly loves Thomas or whether she was just attached to him. Maybe it was more of a possession thing? We always talk about male love interests being possessive but not the girl…but that a whole other thing.

7. Teresa having the AUDACITY to telepathically tell Thomas when he was kidnapped and put into a white room for like ever that “wicked is good” ehh, ever heard of time and place?

I also hate the whole “you just don’t get her like I do” like yes, if you are talking about the fact she wanted to save everyone and not just a select few then YES in fact any one with a bloody moral compass can see that. You are allowed to feel that way, ofc you are. But no, you aren’t understanding her on a deeper level you are understanding something that everyone should be able to understand.

And then movie Teresa…I don’t rlly care if you love her or not. Mostly because she actually showed guilt when torturing Minho. I personally don’t like her either but I don’t hate her.

(Also I think that if movie Teresa wasn’t so conventionally attractive she wouldn’t be nearly as liked. I’ve literally had someone tell me that she’s their favourite character because she’s so ‘hot’.

Yall im in a war zone saying this but oh well.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the asexual/aromantic/aroace pride posts, but I wished they included aplatonics too. I always look at them hoping they'll include me, and a majority forget that aplatonic as a term even exists. :/ Please people mention us more often, it doesn't hurt.

[tbiggestman]

EDIT: This meme is not about aroace people who are sex/date favorable. It's about the people who are constantly using "aroace can still date/have sex" to erase the representation of aroaces that don't feel that way. I don't believe romance/sex repulsed aroaces are better or "superior" to those who are.

[tbiggestman]

So both of Thomas' last interactions with Newt were basically Newt telling him that he hated him and/or didn't want to see him. I hate these fuck ass books.

[tbiggestman]

i die everytime i read fanfics where Newt goes "Please, Tommy, please" in a whole other context because fym they're in a tickling war and he said that while i'm in tears over where he said it in TDC—

gotta hate canon sometimes.

BOO!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A gentle reminder 🌈🤍

[tbiggestman]

Y’all do know that being nice to people is basic human decency right? Y’all do know that being kind is normal right? Y’all do know that accepting people for their identity (queer, neurodivergence, colour/race, culture) is the bare minimum?

Y’all do know that right?
