No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've only heard it used by and applied to incels who are only trying to twist the narrative of why they can't get laid. They aren't choosing to not date, they are just lying to themselves that they have chosen to be alone, when in reality they are just undateable asshats.
Aromantic and asexual people don't need to delude themselves into why they don't date. They might go the other way, tho, due to social pressure to be "normal." (IE deluding themselves that they NEED to date)
I think this is it. The difference between having a 'type' (normal) and being 'black-pilled' (weird) is the misogyny.
It does not sound like a happy bunch to hang around. Is that what you aspire to have as a part of your identity?

Well it makes no difference whether you do or don't. That's the point of taking the black pill.
If you don't date because you are ugly/mental/whatever and thus black pilled then that is a part of your identity. Instead you spend all the time playing games.
If you don't date because you put zero effort into your looks because you're busy playing video games then games becomes a part of your identity.
You're doing exactly the same thing but your choice is what emotional baggage comes with the crowd you choose to identify with. That in turn will influence you and your own mental well being over the decades.
Can I just dislike anyone that uses colored pill references.
We don't use that word anymore.
The polite phrasing is pills of color
Yes because you’ve take the pill pill
From my understanding, the "black pill community" is highly misogynistic and promotes self harm and mass violence / terrorism. I don't think anyone would care if it was just a bunch of guys deciding they didn't wanna date.
There's no ideology described as being "pilled" that's anything but toxic.
I've never heard that term. I get that some people choose not to date, but don't most people just live- go to work, grocery, social events, etc.- and talk to the people around them? I don't really see someone saying, "hey, if that nice girl talks to me I'm going to ignore her."
Huh? I've literally never once heard anyone criticize people who choose to be single or asexual. What are you talking about? You gotta go outside and touch grass man. Get off the Internet for a while.
To be fair, are there many conversations where that comes up at all unless someone in the conversation is an ace/aro person?
there's a TON of hate/distrust for asexual people. "you are just ugly" "you just haven't met the right person" "why are you celebrating that you don't have sex? that's weird" etc.

What kind of conversations are you having with people that would respond like this where they're learning about how much sex or not-sex you're having?
literally any Instagram post about asexuality
If you're posting on the internet in a broadcast form (just as Instagram) about deeply intimate details of your life, you should not generally expect heartfelt nuanced discussion. You're going to get short attention span pithy responses (as your example shows) or harsh reactionary responses from fringe minority positions (also as your example shows).
Those are internet responses. Those are not representative of real life. This is what the prior poster was telling you.
I've heard these in real life too, I just can't show proof of that
Can I ask if you receive these opinions if it is after you share your positive views on "black pilling"?
in what way did I share a positive view of it???
I think this is it. The difference between having a 'type' (normal) and being 'black-pilled' (weird) is the misogyny.
I said there's hate for my demographic and SHOWED PROOF, how you trying to say I'm wrong??
I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say
I wasn't familiar with the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel#%22Blackpill%22
It doesn't sound good at all.
