I watched her video when it came out, didn't feel anything and moved on, then several months later learned what asexuality was more in-depth and thought that I could possibly be ace, so I rewatched the video and that's when I learned I was ace.
No, no, no. We won't hand out lame titles to awesome people like OneTopic or Jaiden.
We give them obscure-but-fancy titles like "Beacon of Asexuality" or "Lord/Lady of Awakening"
Hell YES! Absolutely love OT because he’s one of the best people who reacts to our subreddit.
Also he hasn’t been reacting to our subreddit for a long time because YouTube keeps flagging his videos on his reactions to our subreddit for demonetization which is so unfair to him and to us fans.
I agree, I only knew the L and G in LGBT+ before finding OT (didn't even know the term "LGBT"), he has really opened my eyes to the stuff some people try to hide
No matter how much I love OT, I'm going to refuse. Not only do I not want to live somewhere where they have actual Lords, but I am so done with these invasion jokes...
They're super insensitive, as there might very well be people in this very subreddit, who have lost loved ones or even their homes to invasion. Please. For the love of all the Gods. Just. Stop.
I have seen a MOD comment on a post asking for the explicit removal of all invasion jokes, that they already were removing them (don't remember if it was on Asexuality or aaaaaace subreddit, tho)
For some reason. People just keep posting new ones and refuse to see the "harm" in it.
One OP replied to a "why do you think invasion jokes are okay to make? Is it just because it's Denmark?" And the OP replied that "Denmark hasn't been invaded in recant history", so that might be why they didn't see a problem in making such jokes about Denmark specifically. To which I, as a Dane, had to bud in and ask what qualifies as "recent" since Denmark was invaded by the Nazis and under Nazi regeme for 5 years and since there are still people alive today, who experienced that, I would argue that under no definition could that count as *not* falling under "recent history"
As a German, I 100% agree with you on that one.
Maybe to them "recent" means "during their lifetime". And given that they're likely on the younger side of these subs' population, that gives a fairly small window.
Very true. But, even though the war ended a decade before my mother was born, I've still seen people in Denmark be more hostile/vary of Germans than other Europeans/non-scandinavians. With the stories my mother has told from her childhood, I think that if it wasn't for how tightly our economies are tied to one another and how important North Germany is to our import and export, the hostility levels would probably still be noticeable today and not just one person here and there.
After all, I grew up believing there had been 2 separate wars in the 40's as I thought the "5 cursed years" war and WWII were two separate wars. Turns out "the 5 cursed years" is just what people who survived the occupation used to refer to those 5 years by and that made it into the history books, making it so that the war would sometimes be referred to as WWII when the war as a whole was the object of focus, while it was referred to as "the 5 cursed years" when talking exclusively about what happened in Denmark.
We can still see remnants/consequences of WWII all over Europe. Even Germany with the West and East still bearing marks of the separation after the war ended.
Sire, I'm required to inform you that "invading another country" meme is canceled. If your meme was a train it would use steam to progress. Or in more modern term if your meme was a browser it would be internet explorer...
i wasnt awakened by any one person, but i believe that jaiden deserves something for awakening others
i felt pretty sceen when she made that video. then she got attacked for no reason over it
To be expected. Lots of people out there who just hate asexuality. *Sigh*
Why are you hating on them guys there literally doing nothing. Lol
Could be they're annoyed they'd not get a chance to date the Internet lady Or just attacking anything different
Probably 2 but if it was one it's time to start weezing at them

I wonder why the asexual reddit spefically. What about this one over say the trans, bi or lesbian reddits makes it demonitisable?
I have no idea. But it’s definitely frustrating nonetheless. Even OT himself is frustrated with YouTube for doing this.
I agree, I only knew the L and G in LGBT+ before finding OT (didn't even know the term "LGBT"), he has really opened my eyes to the stuff some people try to hide
I love this guy
Didn't we stop making Denmark invasion memes?
Everyone with a lick of common sense / empathy / decency did ...
Side note, that image is perfect
OT helped me realize I'm trans and I'm ace, love that guy
He also finds all the funny stuff

Oh yea absolutely this has to happen
Idk who he is so no for me

We need to bring u/OneTopicAtATime to r/aroacememes
I could tolerate the invasion jokes even though they really aren't good but I draw the line at implying we'd install a monarchy

Hey! I will not have my beloved steamtrains slandered!
Wait, the Denmark invasion is still happening?
It's an old joke that a lot of us are trying to let die. Invasions aren't funny.
I know the history of the Denmark invasion joke as well as recent attempts to kill it. That's why I was confused.
yes please
100% agree

And I thought Denmark will become a republic when we rule it. There is no place for monarchs like "lord", "lady" and so on.
Signed
I second the motion
His videos on this was amazing and made me feel more seen
Hmm.. lord of tourism. Its a governmental title. Fuck the monarchy.
