Hmm, no, I understand. It’s that way in Pakistani culture too, for Urdu. And I guess for most desi people as well. Being Asian can be hard. Overseas, even more difficult. I may not exactly be an American Asian immigrant, or child of one, but I am an overseas Pakistani. That sounds like an interesting job, I have never heard of it! I’ll do some more research what that job is all about (unless you would like to tell me yourself; I didn’t ask as I thought you would be busy). ~N

I like your points, and agree with a lot of them!

Ah, hate to break it to you guys, but much of a fandom ships them together romantically and sexually. Though there are people who prefer them as friends. Me, on the other hand? I initially did not see them as together in a relationship, only as friends. Later, I thought it would be better if they were shipped together. Now? I don’t mind as long as their relationship stays good. I think of their relationship as not romantic or sexual, but not platonic either. Something beyond platonic, but not romantic/sexual either. Maybe alterous? I found a good fanfiction of them in a QPR, loved it. I totally see that as that way, and close together, having deep affection and love for each other alterously. Zootopia (2016) is my favourite movie too! I loved how it was a city/world designed with mammals in mind, and for mammals only! And each species was unique and different, each of them being sized according to how are supposed to be! And the details too! Like Judy’s earphones, or the juice bars made convenient for all mammals, big and small!

I didn’t see any abliest statements though. Or any explanation for it.

Ooh! That’s very interesting! Perhaps that thread should be pinned somewhere, maybe? May I make a recommendation? Please make a post in the rules of the forum page about the points (or add it to the already existing post about the forum and its rules), badges and achievements, and how many points are required to get each badge (or how many posts you have to make to get each badge). I apologise for any grammar or spelling mistakes!

I realised I was that way because I never really felt the need or want to date, or kiss. Never fell in love or had a crush, and never found anyone hot or sexually attractive. I also never got it when people wanted to be in relationships or when they talked about romantic love or how hot people are. I never understand the want or need people had for relationships, or boyfriends/girlfriends. When I saw people crying over heartbreak or complaining about cheating, or when it ended, I was like, why even bother going into the relationship if you know it’s going to end eventually?? I also never got people’s obsession with romance and sex. Or the media’s obsession with those things. Why every person or ever character in a book or movie had to be in a relationship or marry. Will probably edit this later

Huh, why, what kind of job do you have, if you don’t mind me asking?

So you earn one point for each post or comment you make? What about reactions? The art thread is a cool idea! And I’m glad that @Nixmade art for the badges, that’s nice of her! Thank you @Nix! They must have looked plain before (what did they look like?). Also, thank you for further commenting and giving me information! I appreciate it, and the time you took to reply!

Well, that’s good to hear! :D I’m glad your mom has accepted you, and you have this forum and the rest of the community too, for support!

No need to facepalm! I took that line to mean live in general, or all sorts of love, not just romantic love (that she had for Edwards? I think was his name). Wasn’t she also referencing Coop’s love for his daughter, Murph, and vice versa?

Thank you so much! I appreciate the explanation! I didn’t know they were new, I assumed they had been always been there or weren’t recent additions, as no one talked about them or mentioned to them. Oh, so the badges thing is sort of like karma on Reddit? Again, thank you for the explanation! I appreciate the time you took to write it. ~N That section is what I was referring to. Sorry for not cropping the image, and for using someone else’s (I don’t have any badges yet, I think, so the page won’t show like that). I can remove it, or crop it, if anyone has a problem with it.

To be honest, there are upsides to belonging to the culture and country that I belong to, as well as the religion. People don’t expect you to be in a relationship, or have a boyfriend/girlfriend. They don’t ask if you’re dating. It doesn’t raise any eyebrows because you aren’t supposed to be in a relationship or dating anyone. So there’s no pressure.

Yikes, that is unfortunate to hear. Is it any better now?

Can someone explain the points system to me? And how you get badges and achievements? Are achievements and badges a same thing or different? Like badges are achievements you already required and achievement is a badge you currently have/hold? I couldn’t find anything about it in the forum rules section, that’s why I’m asking. How many points are required to get each badge? I apologise if something similar to this post has already been made.

Oh, cool! Reminds me of Loombands!

Err, wouldn’t men have trouble with over-alls too? Yes to the ice cream and gryphons! I’ve heard about gryphons and ice cream being symbols too! I want Love Potion #31 from Baskin Robbins!

Ooh, interesting! Which country is that?

How do you do that?

Thank you.

Aphobic and ableist statements like what?

Hey! How are you?

Teenager here!

What do you mean by fundamentalist home? Some people say that Paul from the Bible is asexual. It is interesting how your mother and stepfather had a concept of that nature; I, for one, find it neat. To add onto this, I suppose my parents (especially mom) have an expectation of marriage for they’re children, especially daughters. I’m not saying that most families and parents would take it well if their sons didn’t want marriage. Relatives also expect it as well. And don’t get me started about children. I can only think of one relative I know who never married and never had children. Ah, please do not misunderstand. This pressure about marriage from parents and relatives is not from the religion. It is culture and societal expectations of people, and pressure from others that makes them conform to this and cling to it.

Yes, exactly! I’m not a fan of eating, and I just don’t get get people who are foodies or those people who love eating! Most people seem to live to eat, I eat to live. I see it as more of a chore, not something fun at all. Sure, I enjoy some foods, like vanilla ice cream or dark chocolate and I do like Biryani. I like them for their taste and flavour. But eating overall? Nope! My (twin) sister is like this too, but to a more significant degree. This, completely. I don’t understand what’s so exciting about food?? It’s not exciting or interesting at all. I don’t get the hype.
