They are not even doing anything sexually. Why is their inaction offending people?

    Ace person here. We get mistaken for being prudes, snobs, or arrogant. Or, because we don’t put out, we get a lot of hate from people who are attracted to us even though we won’t reciprocate (or might selectively reciprocate).

    People just can’t fathom the concept of ‘not horny’.

    Too many people hate those who are different. Too many people take personal offense when someone doesn’t care about something they like. They don’t pump out kids for the machine and meat grinder.

    Discriminated against in terms of employment opportunities or in terms of being invited to key parties?

      Straight and (in less proportion) gay people, because they think ace people “Only need to find the right person in their life!”.

    I didnt know they were?

    Maybe they get odd looks if the topic comes up, or have it brushed aside as a kind of sour-grapes mentality, but I’ve never been aware of any actual kind of discrimination.

    The gays had it really rough, the trans are getting it tight right now, but the asex crowd seem mostly left alone?

    They aren’t. There is no widespread or structural oppression of Ace people, if anything society is moving in their direction as the secular puritans of Gen Z become the cultural arbiters.
