I was watching R/Cringetopia youtube videos last night and literally, two of the posts talked about animatesexuals (they called them Animesexuals in the video) and made them look like these weird Incel, "I have a Waifu shrine", Osana's Stalker from yandere Sim type of person and like...
No.
Only the people who are fucking creeps, make animatesexual look like it's "Oh well it's time to Fap to my Waifu, Zero Two!"
Like do your fucking research before you call something out damn
Also on my friend's discord server I tried to at least EDUCATE people on Animatesexual and said it was re-claimed but someone said
"Oh but it doesn't matter if it was re-claimed! it'll still effect the LGBTQ community"
....how? I literally respect all opinions, if you don't think animatesexual is real that's fine, but don't fucking try to push it out and harrass animatesexuals because a few cringy, "I make Gacha Heat videos" gacha kids and Incels are identifying as animatesexual.
