    I dunno… You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you’d want to sleep with them.

    I’m ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.

      Stupid question time: Does the fact that you’re ace omit the gay/straight spectrum entirely, or would you still place yourself on it somewhere?

        Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.

          Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.

          You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.

            The two are not mutually exclusive.

            Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.

        Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn’t preclude romantic attraction. I’m ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction

        We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.

      Agree 100%. I think the guy in the comic got his award prematurely. The rest of the sentence after “but” matters.

      What does “ace” mean in this context?

        Asexual, meaning they experience little to no sexual attraction.

          So, if no one experiences sexual attraction to me, what does that make me? Anti-sexual? Axes, maybe?

            creating a new sexual orientation based on whether people are attracted to you as an individual is like a whole new level of narcissism 😅

            why no, I’m not a FenrirIII-sexual, but my friend is (she’s a slut)

            Unlucky. But the good news is that you can change your luck (to a certain extent).

      Well yeah but specifically sexual attraction – generic attraction can be anything that makes you want to spend time with a person but we’re talking about sexual attraction here

      I mean. women don’t necessarily have to be more attrative than another to go sleep with them.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
