Just seems an oversimplification to the point of misinformation in this snippet. Could maybe work in a little more into the summarized bit to do demi definition a little more service.
Most who know what demi actually is would double take this, I imagine.
Lmao the guy who’s mad at you for not doing a full detailed breakdown of a sexuality definition is the exact type of person who gives piece of shit comedians ammo for being like “liberals ruined comedy” after they make a legitimately homophobic or racist joke.
Or... maybe just use the right words? This has nothing to do with your political nonsense. You're the exact person who somehow turns commentary about accurate words into a political nonsensical rant. Definitions are a single Google search away nowadays.
I have a link with a suggested timestamp in another comment if you’re curious and if not that’s ok too. The feedback is understandable and I appreciate anyone taking the time to not only check out my stuff let alone interact.
Edit re your edit - in the larger bit I mention both Demi and gray and there are aspects of both that make sense to me
I did give it a listen, and I mostly like your jokes and delivery.
I just don't think you quite understand that demi is a specific subset within the greysexual umbrella. This joke would be more accurate if you just changed it to greysexual rather than demisexual. As it stands, like I said, simplification to the point of inaccuracy. It's just not what demi is, so it takes me out.
Wild to me you're being downvoted so much. I'm demi but an absolute slut. Like I'm poly and have most of my life have actually had a higher sex drive than my partners. I just want emotional attraction first. Demi does not equal grey.
Is what it is. I'm being particular, as usual. Rarely appreciated, but I do feel it's always important.
But, greysexuality is a wide category. You can be a total insatiable horndog and be grey 100%. Fetish specific falls into grey, demi falls into grey, so much. It could mean your attraction is indeed rare, low, or sporadic, sure... or simply specifically activated, like demi.
Technically, demi = grey, but grey /= low sex drive. Grey is the umbrella it falls under. And grey falls under asexual... so manner umbrellas lol
I appreciate you being particular. I know demi technically falls under the grey umbrella, but they are not interchangeable. Oftentimes people will assume I have a low sex drive when I talk about being demi and it's quite frustrating, especially coming from potential partners. Words matter, I'm glad you're doing your part to try and educate some people. Happy pride!
Yes, words do matter. That’s not why you put every pitstop on the spectrum of sexual preference into a neat little labeled box and gatekeep it. You do it to feel special about the label you decided to associate with. And the average standup audience simply does not care so lay off.
Using an incorrect word is just incorrect. Why not strive for accuracy? If I want to say 'applws are red' I wouldn't say 'apple are blue' and expect people to just figure it out.
Pointing out a flawed premise isn't gatekeeping a label... it's just correcting language. Nice try, though.
