Why is anon mad at you for saying you don't get off. Where did you even condemn people for getting off.

Maybe they were insecure over the fact that they do get off to paraphilic art and took me clarifying I don't (when let me point out, this was someone directly accusing me of getting off to art) was like, some kind of challenge?? Or them taking it as me saying that makes me a better person? Which is never a point I've ever tried to make.

I've said countless times before that I don't care if people do. That's what art therapy is for, man. But I personally, an asexual, do not want to be associated with jerking off to things I'm not even into, and the idea I should shut the fuck up about the fact I don't get off feels like them saying I should shut the fuck up about being ace, it reads as aphobic to me.
It doesn't feel unreasonable for me to point that out? Like just because I correct someone over something I don't do, doesn't mean I hate people who do it. That's the fuckin, "I don't like pancakes." "Oh, so you hate waffles?" bullshit LMAO

And I explained in my server last night how I feel that for some antis, getting rid of their toxic behavior starts will baby stepping into discomfort, which might include realizing there are profic people like them. Like, me, who doesn't have the big paraphilias, and is ace, and even profic people who are uncomfortable with certain depictions in art but don't harass people over it regardless. It's not wrong to be open about the fact I'm a proshipper and support paraphiles but that I personally don't get off to the things I draw or see despite that.

Idk, I really don't know why they took it so offensively. Really weird thing to get offended over.
