How not to answer a newbie

Step 1: Buy an 8-ball.

Step 2: Ask it for its wisdom.

 

How do I deal with fandoms who make everything about shipping?

There are many things you can do. You can join the unshippers, headcanon every existing character as ace/aro, leave the fandom out of anger, or... or... there are many options I swear.

 

Should I participate in definition debates?

It's the best way to learn the objectively correct word to fit your unique personal experiences.

 

Someone told me that asexuality isn't a real thing, but yet, here's a website full of asexuals. What's going on here?

Oh yeah, we're all repressed and just lying about how asexuality is real for money. We're such good actors, aren't we? :)

 

I've read the FAQ and it seems like I can't be asexual considering what is written there. Can I still be asexual?

Not unless the gay agenda writes it into the script, which makes you a double gaygent.

 

All this actor talk makes me think I got fired. Is it okay to be visible here if you're not asexual?

Don't worry, since none of us here actually are asexual (because real asexuals don't go on AVEN), if you're not ace it's absolutely okay. We need to pretend we have allies and are open-minded toward non-aces, and considering we have very few non-ace actors, nobody would fire you. And you're an otter after all, who would do such a thing to you?

 

Are there people furthering the trans agender here?

Since it challenges the conventional notion of transgender as a binary, the trans agender has proved controversial. Some claim one cannot be trans agender as becoming agender is not a transition between genders but a removal from gender entirely. Others feel strongly that agender establishes a gender trinary and transitions are therefore possible along any side of the triangle. Also contested is the extent to which gender is a continuum and at what point and frequency changes in one's gender expressions are better described as transitions rather than fluidity. Current activity centers primarily on a thread in Hot Box about whether gender is one or two dimensional and if those dimensions are Euclidean or some other geometry. It's unclear whether or not this does or doesn't further trans agender but the two posts in the trans agender meme thread are pretty good.

 

A minority of users holds that there is no trans agender and that it's just a typo for trans agenda. During debate over whether the trans agenda is an agenda pursued by transgender people or whether trans agenda refers to an agenda which has changed from one type of agenda to another it emerged several members of this minority are Pastafarians. This lead to a heated thread in Site Comments over whether the discussion could continue in the gender forum or if a religion forum needed to be created to house it. Currently, the thread is locked for cooldown due to umbrage being taken over the suggestion that Lovecraft didn't like pasta and that Cthulhu is therefore actually a (mis)representation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster rather than being associated with the Elder Gods.

 

I have friends who like to put colanders on their heads. Does this mean they are for or against the typo interpretation of trans agender?

It means they're secretly aliens, so of course they're trans agender. 

 

Does AVEN really stand for Avoid victorious Elegant Newts?

Wow, you really are new here. You should read all the past posts before asking redundant questions.

 

Since everyone tells me, that sexuality is a natural thing, does that mean that I am AI?

I've seen artificial intelligences fall in love in fictional stories, sooo... no.

Ah, you're asking an expert here! Make the CIM your new religion and you're good to go!

 

I can't find the FAQ. Where is it?

That’s something we’re asked frequently. Before asking a question, please check the FAQ for answers to common questions such as “where is the FAQ?” in case it was already answered.

 

Do asexuals celebrate Christmas?

No, asexuals don't want to annoy people with other religions, so they celebrate "Holidays" instead (which is quite similar to pastafarian "Holiday", the idea was clearly stolen from us). Some asexuals also pretend to celebrate other types of holidays that come around Christmas for cake, garlic bread and other festive foods and so they could sing weird songs, receive presents and make everything in their home pretty.

 

Does any of you know traditional asexual cake recipes?

You don't need recipes. Aces can pretty much create cakes with their hands. How else would we be able to greet so many newbies everyday?

 

Do aces go to the beach? And the park? Cause I've never seen an ace outside.

All the time! When aces are exposed to sunlight, they look just like anyone else. It’s a defense mechanism.

 

If aces have their own flag, do they also have a state bird?

Yes, so long as you keep taking the medication.

Cake is an important symbol of birthdays, weddings, dessert, and other thing asexuals do not have. Therefore, cake became a key piece of asexuality in order to satisfy our need to constantly remind ourselves that everyone else actually celebrates stuff! Can you believe it!? Why on earth would people actually celebrate!

Some AVENites claim to be cows, plants, machines and various animals, so I'm guessing people just want to know if everyone's human. Of course, that's kinda rude, since it's no one's business whether we're truly humans or not.

 

What's the character limit for posts? If someone's reached it, what were they talking about?

It depends on what characters you are using. If you are using characters like Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter, or other equally annoying characters, the limit is one half. If the character is even more annoying, the answer is 0. Otherwise everyone would leave the site, which was why the limit was put in place. However, if you are using less annoying characters, the number depends, so be careful. You won't always find out the limit for specific characters until you have already been permanently kicked out of the site.

 

 

What does being 'on the spectrum' mean? What spectrum? Why is being on a "spectrum" even important? Who is on this 'spectrum'? When did this spectrum begin? When did it end? Just what is this spectrum???????

It's a spectrum of incomprehensible forms of light and strange colours never before seen on Earth that are projected out of a cosmic prism.

 

Obviously.

 

 

Are we still invading Denmark, and where did that joke come from, anyway?

Denmark was chosen because it apparently had as many people as there are aces in the world, making this the perfect place to make a whole entire Ace Country, I imagine. We don't know exactly how many aces there are though, and the estimates aren't accurate. All I know about Denmark from Wikipedia searches is stuff related to porn, so I have no clue why aces want to invade it so much. I think we"re "invading Denmark" the same way Britain was "leaving Europe": ideas stuck in some form of development hell.

 

Some say the AVEN triangle is antisemitic. Are they correct?

Tell them you hate them, and then leave for Antarctica. They shouldn't follow you there. If they do, move to the North pole...
