        I feel dumb, I don’t get the ace bit. Was it just slang, like he’s cool, and then they swerved it? Or was there something that actually made the commentary think they were asexual in the image? Now I feel dumb and old.

      I like this thread/comic but I’m legitimately confused by ‘ace rights’ did we start forcing people to fuck or something? I hadn’t noticed lol

        It is probably more about recognition, most people (in their minds) don’t recognize asexuality. Many folks thought I had something wrong with me (do you know how many erectile dysfunction or micropenis jokes I had to endure?) or I was attracted to them and was trying to hide it.

          Yeah I get that and agree, but I think that language is important in these situations. That’s about something that has nothing to do with rights and minimalizes the actual civil rights issues that we DO have by association. I agree that education is important, but that has nothing to do with a legal fight for rights.

            While I do agree, I also feel the need to point out that this is a meme, it doesn’t have any agenda other than “be funny” so probably not much thought has went into it.

          LoL, imagine the GOP nutters who get so offended by the Gay Rights Rainbow Flag when they are confronted by the ACE Rights Centaur. 😂

          Sorry, but they can still vote, right? This isn’t anything to do with ‘rights’.

        I think its missing a comma, cause its common for shaggy phrases to end with “right scoob?”

        I thought the same thing you did at first though.
