frompawntoqueen:historicallyace:fuckyeahasexual:Read The Article Here I’ve been going back and recording ace history from years ago, largely about topics that at the time were of note, but weren’t distant enough to recap as if it was a touchstone until now.This post covers that clash that happened when aces started to openly show up in fandom spaces on tumblr. How that conflict was largely between aces (of all sorts) and straight white women. While this article may seem like old fandom drama, it’s written in a way to show the inter-connectivity between groups, how community ideas spread, and how the companies behind fandoms can actually easily protect their LGBTQ fans. TW: Discussions of biphobia, acephobia, racism, and homophobiaThis is an interesting read. Can’t confirm personally as I restricted my participation in the DA fandom to the things the friends who got me into the games shared with me, and this article doesn’t provide sources except for a screenshot of a tweet, so consider this added to my nebulous to-do list. (You all know how I am about loving to have sources.) Some day, we’ll see if I can’t pull up some corroborating info, because this feels right, but I’d love to be able to confirm this progression.Hello! I wrote this based on my interactions with the fandom. You might be able to find receipts easily on @asexualsolas. However I might have made that my “discourse free” blog from the start. If not, I know I have them somewhere since tumblr saves everything reblogged. If I stumble across posts I feel are related I’ll try to add them, but otherwise I don’t want to constantly relive those times too much, especially during 2020. But if you ever want help finding them I could help more with that. Other places you can check is, back then we used “ace solas” and “asexual solas” as a tag to find each other so that might help with a more exact timeframe. If I can think of anything else I’ll try to also add it here in case you or others want to hunt down those digits breadcrumbs. Oh P.S., that’s not a screencap of a Twitter. It’s a screencap of a tumblr post. That post is here and includes not only AC’s tumblr reply but the emails that the biphobe sent to Ubisoft staff. As you can see OP was an allo Solas fan.And while they weren’t the one doing the other racist or aggressively acephobic things it was the connecting point this article mentions at the start.In the “asexual solas” tag I found this This post for example helps summarize how sexually aggressive yet sex negative nature of “allo Solas” fans. And other points talk about how the ace tags for Solas were often more full of diversity of behavoir. Thanks for the correction and additional info! (I think I was following you back in the day, but it would have been post-discourse.)And please don’t go out of your way looking for things, especially if it’s distressing! (And double especially in the current state of everything is awful.) I enjoy doing tag deep dives, so when I actually have the energy to sit down and do that it’ll be a good distraction for me. -- source link
