I'm sorry, who is discriminating against asexual people?
I know its a low ball but verifiably at least 37k people..
Fuck Joanne Rowling in particular, BUT, I don't think this particular post is a good example given what it's actually saying...
Being mocked is a form of oppression ... this sort of "humour" reinforces who is to be considered part of an outgroup, that can then be excluded from society.
See: the history of racist, sexist, and bigoted "jokes"
Straight and (in less proportion) gay people, because they think ace people "Only need to find the right person in their life!".
