r/DnD & RPG Horror Stories: Asexuality Edition #3

On International Asexuality Day, JK Rowling wished us a "Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag". Large swaths of the internet were surprised and concluded that her bigotry is growing...but any Aces paying attention already predicted this would happen YEARS ago, because transphobia and acephobia go hand in hand.

TTRPGs are a source of great joy in our life...except, of course, when we dive into these subreddits.

Life is Strange: Steph's Story is not only a welcome edition to the Life is Strange universe, but it is actually written by Aromantic Asexual author Rosiee Thor an includes a delightfully realistic and relatable Ace character.

Life is Strange is one of our favorite franchises, and we finally have not only one, but TWO examples of Ace rep that can be found within. Today we discuss the almost certainly Demisexual character Diamond Washington in the video game Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

In this, the year 2025, people are fed up with dating apps, conservatives, and even talking to people like a real person.

Times are scary out there, but you didn't need us to tell you that, so today we're keeping in chill and chatting about some of the things that have been keeping us as happy and healthy as possible including hobbies, pets, habits, and more.

We're, unfortunately, back at it again with the weird allo reality shows. Today we talk about MILF Manor, Love Island, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Later Daters.

It's Aro Week and Courtney's been feeling awfully Aromantic lately...but even so, it's still complicated. So here's some probably demiromantic rambling on the topic.

New research on public attitudes towards asexuality has been published by Kings College London Policy institute authored by Yasmin Benoit, Vanessa Hirneis, and Michael Sanders. Today we have Yasmin back to discuss a few of these findings and to give an audience Q&A!
