This was shared on r/asexual, and I lost track of whose work it is. We see it, we see the asexual pride colors together, we feel heartened and less alone. Allos (that is, non-asexual, i.e. sexual a.k.a. Normies) see it and have no kinship to it, so it's nothing special. "Because of the color of the wheat," said The Fox. (There is so much galumping and noises from the apartment above me that I envision it must be caused by a kangaroo wearing iron shoes - it is distracting and not a bit infuriating.) Hmmm... I feel like critical theory has something to say about this and it involves the term "signaling" . Not virtue-signaling, but something vaguely akin. I'm off to see what the hell I'm trying to think of...
