alien.hedgehog Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 While I was looking for informations and fanarts online I noticed that two symbols used with the idea of asexuality are cake and dragons. I get the cake thing but what's with the dragons? I guess it came from here(just like the black ring and other things) and I really like the idea, but I just don't get the connection. Can someone explain to me? Link to post Share on other sites

alien.hedgehog Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 That too, but most often I see dragons and I'm always like WTF?.....o_0 Link to post Share on other sites
Slice of Ace Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I guess it's because people don't know about asexuality, or think that it doesn't exist, so it's the "mythical" sexuality. Hence, dragons and unicorns. That's just my theory though, and I don't know how and where it originated Link to post Share on other sites

Urmeline Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think it originated from a J.K. Rowling interview where she was asked about Charlie Weasley's sexuality and said something like 'I think he's more interested in dragons than relationships and all that stuff" and aces saw that and went 'SAME'. I believe that's where it comes from Link to post Share on other sites

HonoraryJedi Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I saw some tumblrpost a long time ago where they said that since unicorns have become a bit of a symbol of gay people, they wanted to give other identities mythical creatures too. I remember aces got dragons and aros griffons, but the others I forgot those that didn't apply to me. I guess that thing caught on and that's why we have the dragon imagery. And dragons are awesome so I approve of it x) Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Wayne Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Awesome. I've always been interested in prehistoric reptiles and they are very similar to dragons too. And I'm ace so... If dragons are the symbol of aceness, I love it. Link to post Share on other sites

Can someone explain to me? @dark.entity I think it's the idea of a mystical creature since a lot of people claim asexuals do not exsist. But of all mystical creatures dragons seem to be fairly popular? Don't ask me why dragons but I think that's how it started. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably this was the cause, but I would have liked if someone opened a topic in 2005 or something about finding a symbol for asexuality and someone was like"Guys, dragons, motherf***ing dragons!" and the others were like"Yeah, I think that will work.":)))))))) That would have been so cool.

Infinita_Nox Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Dragons are awesome. Can't go wrong with dragons. Well you could, but then you shouldn't be pilfering their treasure, or be edible, definitely don't be edible. Link to post Share on other sites
