Maybe it's because I've been with an asexual partner the last three years, but I don't quite see it as such. These terms aren't wildly over the top and certainly not as ridiculous as other forms of identifying can get (mostly otherkin stuff.)
It gives people a way to form a community with those who are similar to them in a culture that has normalized heterosexual heteroromantic relationships and made all others into something "gross" or "wrong." I don't see how that is a silly thing.
Not everything is going to fit into a western binary view of sexuality and romantic attraction.
It is just meant to refer to those who kinda fall in between full on sexual and asexual.
Demisexual is a stupid term? How so?
I only experience sexual attraction where I hear the sounds of a chainsaw. What am I?

Isn't/wasn't there any tension because you had to give up something? Or is it so insignificant that you never felt any regrets or some other negative emotion?
It's painfully obvious Mort's girlfriend has turned him into this. If you go look at his old posts, he's nothing like this.
It's just fancy terms to describe something completely normal. Everybody is somewhere between, and what the fuck is "full on sexual" anyway?? You know that nobody fucks everyone in all circumstances, right? It's made for people who're completely regular but have the retarded fucking need to "IDENTIFY" as something higher. I also need to talk to the person first and make some emotional connection. Everybody does.
In my opinion, there are three classifications:
Male
Female
Everything else
Mort can't convince me otherwise. All this shit just popped up in the last year or so and it's all dumb.
And even going into gender - so people who don't fit into your neat little male/female binary just are "everything else" and don't get to have their identity represented with a name?
What a joke.
I don't want to be left out though so I want my own part of this sexual spectrum...whoever is like me and can only perform on Mondays when the full moon is present while keeping your socks on is welcome to reach out to me. This is very hard on my partner who has a foot fetish, but we have deep bond and can generally express our love with non-sexual touches that makes us feel more connected.
Why cant we just classify them all as human and move the fuck along? I could give two shits what someone is sexually attracted to or what gender label they want to label themselves as.
To me, they are a human being and no greater or less than anyone else. Why cant we just leave it there?
Lets keep it simple with that is my vote, not because Im insensitive to other people's gender roles, sexual preferences, labels or whatever else they want to smoosh themselves in, its because it really doesnt fucking matter.
