As an Asexual, can confirm, they're just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in "LGBTQIA+" that generally refers to multiple things under the "A".

In the latter case, it's left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it's harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else", but I'm not exactly great at fancy words... or words in general... but I try my best.

I only recently managed to convince the more reasonable and less religious of my two parents that it's pretty likely I have Autism and ADHD, given the extensive amount of signs of it throughout my life.

Though the rest of "me" I've had to keep hidden unless I want the more religious and less reasonable one of them to have a field day due to their regressive beliefs. Because, you know, being a Autistic ADHD Asexual Aromantic sort-of-gender Apathetic Furry, (I'm probably missing something here) or AAAA as I sometimes comedically shorten it to, doesn't exactly line up with their ideals about many things.

Also, thought I'd comment from here for this, but I've surprisingly adjusted pretty well despite all that I've been through. My main struggle recently has been dealing with stress from it, and the Autism and ADHD not making that any easier on me.

But overall, I'm proud of myself, I've continued going through something as horrible as all this and still keep bettering myself despite it all.

Yeah, I agree with that similarity to Warframe's level of developer interaction.

Sure, in the past they've been slower to respond to feedback about problems, and often times old things have fallen out of relevance because something else just outright does the same thing, and more, but better.

But as it is now, DE really seems to be prioritizing listening to feedback, almost exponentially so, and as an example, bringing things up to par with what they should be at the current level of the game, a concept that much more rarely got the implementation it deserved in years before.

The term "boy's club" here is really not generalizing "men" or "boys" as a whole, but rather it's by its usage criticizing the specific group mentality it describes, that of a group of "boys" who treat women with less respect than each other, or otherwise exclude said women, as in at least some cultures is common from some generally younger "boys" who haven't really matured past a mentality usually developed from a young age, because they lack the experience to know it's wrong.

Would it be a bolder statement from a toaster? I mean- boop beep.

And both of you are very much valid, as well as anyone should be. Differences of sexuality makes no person lesser for them. So what if someone is attracted or not attracted to any specific thing? We're all people nonetheless.

Yeah, pretty much same here, except I'm Asexual and seemingly Aromantic, and yet still get stupidly attached to people I'm close to anyway, just not romantically, and it's not really focused on any one person in particular, and it's incredibly confusing to figure out what it means at times.

Also, apologies for the long flowing sentences, it's the other two "A"s kicking in, Autism and ADHD, but stringing together sentences is much closer to how I talk with conversations and stuff, as opposed to the usual stop and go of putting periods in places, because who needs stopping to take a breath when there's still more of a train of thought to continue...

..I got side tracked by being reminded of something again and the explanation was longer than the original comment, seems about the usual for me.

I'd just checked, there's at least two communities, ~~albeit super small, 1-3 people maybe~~ one has 13 as of now, the other has 42.

Edit: I found that one too, as well as aromanticism @lemmy.world, although I'm not sure how to do links to places quite yet. And I linked the same one of two, fixed now, and maybe fixed the link? Unless [email protected] is the correct way to link it? ~~I'll just do both and figure it out eventually.~~ Both work on one app, and only one works on two different other apps, neat.

Edit: Somehow typo'd an "n" instead of an "m" again after fixing that last night, for reference, the one starting with ! works on Liftoff, and the one starting with /c/ works on Liftoff, Connect, and Jerboa, and on Liftoff specifically, the ! version opens directly to the community independent of my instance, and the /c/ one opens the community as viewed from my instance.

In the off chance the link to the other one above doesn't work on a specific platform, [email protected] might work.

Edit: I did the search in the wrong place, apparently there are some already, nice.

~~I'm curious when Aro/Aromantic might appear on here~~, it was nice occasionally checking there from time to time. And yes, I thought of that because I saw the second bracelet,(? If that's what those are called, I'm not great with putting correct names to things consistently.) and thought it'd be nice to point that one out too, especially as I'm also Aro as well.
