I know it isn't the same thing, but is being quick to judge other people based on their level of kink what makes someone a prude? That's how I've used the word, but it seems to have a more flexible definition these days.

Thank you!
I'm annoyed that our ace users are being exposed to this discussion. Not every space has to be sexualised. It's not prudish, it's just respecting people's differences.
Please just spoiler tag it. It's not a big deal.
Yes, our site culture is a little different - it's trying something unusual - but for some people having an extremely LGBTQ positive space where sexual content is opt-in is like drinking the most refreshing glass of water you'll ever experience.

Seconding this, I much prefer this type of stuff being opt in
OP of that dumpster fire thread just threw ace people under the bus lmao
They apologised for the tone and that it wasn't meant to be a call-out of Hexbear, they haphazardly mentioned the "volcel poIice" meme as a joke and didn't understand the intent behind it: https://hexbear.net/comment/6147530
I'm saying this as a sex-negative ace person who found the original post kinda aphobic, though I didn't say so explicitly at the time. In one of my comments there they replied that they were "being combative for no reason and immediately regretted after hitting post": https://hexbear.net/comment/6147126
Hey look! It's me!
But yeah, I had the same concerns you did, and they explained themselves that they just weren't really thinking about how it would come across. Their reaction did seem genuine, if their goal was to cause a struggle they probably would've been a lot more combative in the comments and much less apologetic.
GOOD POST

This bit is easier to identify if your site interface language isn't in English.
