        I think this is why I don’t ready usernames on most places anymore. I get it’s a joke, it just… I’m asexual and it makes me uncomfortable, no offense. I’m not expecting anything from you, I just thought I’d be clear it can be off putting enough to change someone’s habits for the worse.

        That being said, happy cake day. May you have many <insert preferred genders of lovers here> suck your wang, lol

            To be fair, I was saying I wouldn’t want one and the username was a bit too forward, but anything beyond that I fully admit I have no right to decide. The username is fine, I just wanted to point out it can make someone uncomfortable, not to ridicule him for it. Next time I’ll DM someone if I need to say something like that.

            Context. I collect toys as decorations. I’m a geek. That’s all. That, and I’m genuinely sorry if there was any implication that homosexuality is “wrong”. It isn’t and my concern was not supposed to have influence beyond “it sort of makes me uncomfortable, but I won’t push you to change it for my sake”. You want hypocrisy? You’re the one trying to be the internet police. I’ve said what I said, I don’t need OP to actually care or follow it. I’m asexual and anti-sex-centrist, not authoritarian. That, and Connect won’t hide usernames.

              How am I “internet police” when I never demanded anything from you and simply pointed a hypocrisy and shared the observation with you?

              You sound like you have deeper issues that need a professional to help you resolve. Or don’t, and just stagnate. I’m not the fucking internet police telling you what to do and what not.

          You being asexual is the reason you’re uncomfortable with suck-my-wang?

          That’s not just wrong. It’s weird.

            Mostly it’s that I’m anti-sex-focused because of it, overt sexual signalling is off putting to me but not the end of the world and I understand why other people enjoy it from description. To me, the lack of payoff makes it just feel wrong to me. That said, there’s no reason to take my criticism seriously. I don’t expect someone to change their username for my sake.
