Ace Visibility Matters

Being visible for ace week almost inevitably means at some point running headlong into some ugly acephobia.

Here is one that crops up a lot when people are first learning about asexuality that I’m going to tackle today.

“Why do I have to know you’re ace?/Who cares if you’re visible?/Aces are just seeking attention.”

First and foremost, ace visibility matters.

It matters that we have an identity, and that we can define ourselves and our experiences so that we can recognize and advocate for ourselves and each other. It matters that aces are visible, and that information ABOUT asexuality and asexual communities is visible, first and foremost, so that OTHER ASEXUALS can access it.

In spite of increasing traction and acceptance in online spaces like Tumblr, “Asexual” and the numerous micro labels that fall under its umbrella, are still not widely understood or even heard of by the population at large.

By being visible, the likelihood is increased that awareness of asexuality will reach other aces who do not yet know that they are ace. And that it will reach them earlier in their lives.

There are numerous positive impacts for an asexual discovering they have a recognized identity and COMMUNITY. Notably, and while this is not a comprehensive list:

Validation. The realization and sense of security that comes from learning that they are not the only one. Not “broken.” Not a mistake, or someone who just needs to “get over it.”

Freeing aces from pressure to conform to allo standards to “fit in”, which can negatively impact their wellbeing, mental health, and self esteem.

Allowing aces to Discover their communities, Receive Support from one another, and Organize to advocate for themselves

The importance of that last one cannot be overstated. Humans are social creatures with an inherent need to connect with one another. By having the labels and language to describe ourselves, asexuals are able to find those whose experiences mirror their own. This allows asexuals to explore their own sexuality in a safe space with individuals who are able to understand their experiences. It allows them to give and receive validation and share positivity. And more broadly, it leads to the formation of communities.

A community is important for the social needs of individuals aces, but it is also key to advocacy. We cannot effectively advocate for ourselves if we cannot effectively organize.

That is the most serious need for community, and by extension visibility, always, regardless of where you fall under the lgbtq+ umbrella. Isolated, as scattered individuals in the minority? We have very little reach. Together we have power to look out for one another and effect positive change in how we are perceived and treated.

(This is the same reason that the LGBTQ identities are all better served banding together under the umbrella and advocating for and with each other, but that’s another can of worms I won’t get too deep into)

With all that said, other than aces being aware of themselves, it is still very important that non-aces are also aware and educated about what ace means. Education fosters understanding and wider acceptance. It means non-aces are more likely to find common ground with their ace peers, and visible aces are more likely to find acceptance and avoid aphobia with their non-ace peers.

With all this in mind, when you encounter attitudes like those that prompted this article that boil down to “why do aces need to be visible?/isnt announcing your asexuality just seeking attention?”, please actively help to dismantle those notions as they are harmful to the ace individuals and the community at large.

Likewise, please share this if you can and support aces being out and visible.

Tumblr Post+ and how to prevent it

Plenty of people here, myself included, don't want Post+. It's a paid subscription and will cause a lot (more) problems on this site.

What does it do?

- Allows blogs to create paid subscriptions that followers have to pay to see blog content. This can cause a lot of problems, as plenty of people come to Tumblr since it has never been a monetizable website.

- You can't block people who "support" your blog, meaning people can bypass the blocking system to harass blogs, just at a price.

- Creators have other outlets for these services, like Patreon.

- Again, nobody wants to pay for Tumblr posts.

Now, how can you help stop this?

By filling out Tumblr's Post+ survey! This allows you to give feedback about the Post+ system and what you would/wouldn't do. You can use this to directly inform Tumblr that you DO NOT want the "Post+" feature. If anyone has anything to add to this (info, updates, etc) I encourage you to! Keep resources current!

EDIT: I am NOT advising ANYONE to harass Tumblr staff via the survey. I am simply providing a survey link and some information about Post+. Tumblr staff doesn’t tolerate harassment and neither do I.

Tips

If you’re looking for a certain kind of fanfiction, go to the  ao3 homepage, click on Search, then Works. Scroll down to Relationship Tags and enter “Bill Cipher/Dipper Pines. Underneath where it says “Additional Tags”, enter what ever you are looking for in a fic (ex. fluff, dark, siren au, trans dipper, bottom bill, ect.). This is mainly what I use to find fics!

If you want to re-watch any episode of Gravity Falls use www.toonova.com, www.watchcartoonslive.org, animeflavor.me! I’ve used all of them, and they work on mobile and are completely free! (Beware of ads!)

If you want fanart you can obviously just search “billdip” on DeviantArt, Google images, or Tumblr. If you search Tumblr make sure to filter the results to “Photos”, block the tag “anti billdip”, and block any other antis you may see after doing so. Remember, block block block! Antis are the scum of the Earth!

It you want more music simply search “billdip” on www.youtube.com, or 8tracks.com! You can also search “billdip” on Tumblr and filter the results to “Audio”!

Additionally

Remember: What I have listed is not all there is, not by a long-shot!
