I disagree, I see plenty of evidence to suggest there have always been [...] people entirely uninterested in romantic relationships.

Uninterested in relationships? Sure. Devoid of sexual feeling? Mega doubt.

The idea of a disorder where you either have no interest in sexual activity or are apathetic towards engaging in it seems entirely reasonable.

The idea of a disorder where you either have no interest in sexual activity or are apathetic towards engaging in it seems entirely reasonable.

People who are extremely ill still have a libido, and even a significant percentage of those who get castrated retain one. I'm not sure what factor aside from those could actually cause someone to be 'asexual'. To be clear, that means something different from 'uninterested in romance'. Plenty of people aren't interested in pursuing a relationship regardless of sexual desire.

I'm pretty sure people that claim to be asexual still experience desire/ stimulation and masturbate, so it's mostly a lack of interest in going beyond a platonic level with someone. That might be caused by a fear or lack of trust.
But then again, I don't think it would be impossible to somehow damage those parts of the brain.

People who are extremely ill can still walk, but what does that matter to someone who has a broken leg? Someone could simply have a brain disorder which inhibits their ability to find possible mates attractive, or they find no pleasure in sexual activity, etc.,

There's a very weird "e-right" belief that disorders of the brain don't exist because libtards treats mental disorders like achievements. I particularly dislike this.

There are Kickstarter backer backgrounds that mention the character used to be a boy/girl. Characters with these backgrounds are set to whatever sex the ****** wanted. AFAIK there's no mechanical difference in play, it's just the text and a MtF background character can get pregnant and not need to dilate regularly.

It's the most minor thing in the world that 99.9% of players will never see, (I haven't despite hundreds of hours of playtime) but it is there.

That's not minor and modding out the ****** backer backstories IS mandatory. Luckily it's also easy.

To be clear, this isn't theoretical. e.g., it's well known that male animals refuse to copulate when dopamine antagonists are injected into their medial preoptic area: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3359281/

My point was that even the things that seem as though they ought most directly interfere with sexual desire don't actually fully stymie it. It's one of the most powerful human instincts.

I can imagine such a brain disorder, but I've never heard of one actually existing. I don't have any doubt about the existence of mental disorders in general, but I'd never heard anybody claim to be 'asexual' until recent years. Happy to be proven wrong.

And is this something that can naturally occur in humans?
Edit: or unnaturally, I guess, but unintentionally.

I bet its a cope for
1. being too ugly physically or mentally and never being able to secure a partner. Or
2. lacking libido due to an illness.

So is eating, but nobody would deny that anorexic people exist I assume?
If not, I will post videos of that disgusting skeleton woman until you relent.

but I'd never heard anybody claim to be 'asexual' until recent years. Happy to be proven wrong.

The historical term used for it is "frigid" & "frigidity", and it's grounds to void a marriage if the woman was not aware of this at the time of marriage.

And is this something that can naturally occur in humans?

I'll go apply for funding for a study to prove that asexuality is easily curable, I'll let you know when a western government gives me the money.

Out of curiosity, do you guys think that "misogynist," "bisexual," and "asexual" being potential colonist traits in Rimworld is indicative of an acquiescence to leftist ideology?

I see it as bending the knee to leftist "newspeak" but I'm having an interesting debate with someone in the Steam group who thinks it isn't and claims Rimworld is anti-Woke.

I haven't played the game myself so I was hoping someone here could provide me with another perspective as a player of the game.
Perhaps @Oyster Sauce?

Here's a link to the other person's first post if you'd like to read how the conversation has played out thus far:

Misogynist is fine. As long as they have misandrist as well.

Bisexual is pushing the line, but fits with the romance crap they put in.
Asexual is just the inverse.

I'm not sure what the latter two add to the game, just as with hetero stuff, but it makes some sense to have all the connection options, I guess.
It seems like they were just adding a relationship module, then all the potential modes.

The tell is if they add actual in-game represented ***** shite. (Not just ******** backstories.)

I am a bit suspicious that there are no race preferring/disliking modifiers, though.
You would see ethnic enclaves immediately if we had fast, cheap, easy space travel to other habitable worlds.

Misandrist is also a trait, right? It's just something for the NPC to have discord with certain other NPCs.
Although "sexuality" as a system or category is flawed, it's still describing behaviours or preference that exists, I don't see how it's "woke."

Johnny gets home, runs to his dad, and excitedly proclaims: "Daddy, daddy, the Africans have landed on the moon!"

To this, the dad responds: "All of them?"

Son: "No, just two"

Dad: "Oh.. Well, who cares then?"

We've gotten some interesting responses here and in the Steam group discussion. Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

I'm not sure whether it makes a difference or not, but after looking at the version history, it appears the "asexual" trait wasn't added until Version 1.1.0 (released Feb. 24, 2020). That same update changed the "bisexual" trait from being hidden to being visible.

One of our members also pointed out that according to Britannica's Etymology of "misogyny," its current uses were made popular by feminists (2nd wave and 4th wave): https://www.britannica.com/topic/misogyny

According to Wikipedia's "History of bisexuality" page, "bisexual" initially referred to hermaphrodites (plants mainly) and it wasn't until the 1970s that the term began being applied to human sexual orientation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bisexuality

"From the 1970s onwards, bisexuality as a distinct sexual orientation gained visibility in Western literature, academia and activism."

Furthermore, it would seem this term only gained traction as a result of the LGBT movement's push for it starting in the 1960s:

"Under any label, openly bisexual people were rare in early American life."

What word would you use instead of bisexual to refer to a character that will have sex with men and women?

[Furin]

Sexual deviant/degenerate.

[A Chinese opium den]

Bi sexuals don't exist, you're either gay or straight.

You're forgetting about women. (Understandably.)

You'll have to ask Todd Howard and Emil Pagliarulo to answer that question.
Apparently they are sent there to head every faction, lead every science team, and boss around the white males that actually do stuff.

[UltraFan123]

I remember an old one that went somewhat similar.

"What do you call a ****** on the moon? A problem. What do you call ALL ******* on the moon? Problem solved!"

Another version also replaces "moon" with "bottom of the ocean". kek

[ArcaneLurker]

Bi sexuals don't exist, you're either gay or straight.

It's quite simple...
Gay (only interested in men),
Gay (still fucks women),
Gay (deviant coomer that would **** anything),
Gay (****** behaviours with women but avoids men to compensate for being gay),
Straight (only has sex inside of marriage with a woman he loves, or at least can tolerate, only vanilla breeding sex allowed, non of those hedonistic contraceptives, or oral/ sodomy or that Hindu ****)

And now there is a new trend when romances are in games where every character is player sexual, regardless on differences in culture, race , social status or making story or setting sense for those characters.

"Playersexual" is the newspeak term. The proper one is "Schrödinger's ******".

Never understand the appeal since I find it breaks immersion in games in its characterization and word building to such a large degree.

I know progressives view biological realities of ones sexual orientation as a social construct but it’s simply not true with people no matter how much propaganda they push.

[rusty_shackleford]

"playersexual" means "I don't bring male companions with me"
