It is true that many non-straight people are more outspoken about it online, and hide their status in real life, but that's not the only reason you see more non-straight people online than in real life. Because they are more accepted online than in real life, non-straight people have more of a reason to be online. Furthermore, by being more outspoken online they overshadow all the straight people who have no reason to be more outspoken online than in real life, meaning you're underestimating the amount of straight people you see online just as you're overestimating the amount of straight people you see in real life.

Thought I was straight when i first joined the fandom, then I got into roleplaying and meet a few dudes i was down for.
Don't really know exactly what I categorize under. Probably pansexual.

I can't bring myself to like masculinity, even though I like some male 'traits' myself. I used to think I was bisexual, started a relationship with a guy I liked, went very, very terribly and kinda set me on the track that I should analyze my life and preferences more.

Our language is unfortunately pretty useless at this given that it was basically founded in an entirely cis-hetero-centric mindframe.

I have no idea if I'm ace or demi, but I guess demi is closer to the truth. And possibly into anyone. So maybe I'm mostly pan? Damn this shit is confusing to sort out.
And for all I know fangirls simply like their yaois because they find them to be both hot and cute, just for the same reason you'd ship anything, I think. Except yaoists are very loud about their male-on-male ships for some reason.

i never got the point of demi like it doesn't say your sexual preference, it just says that you like to have a very close healthy relationship with someone before engaging in the fucks if anything you're just pan

Saying it's a prank doesn't make it any less offensive, please refrain from making such offensive 'jokes' in the future. Sexual orientation is already a touchy subject that causes enough controvery in the world so it's an especially bad subject to make such statements about.

i never got the point of demi like it doesn't say your sexual preference, it just says that you like to have a very close healthy relationship with someone before engaging in the fucks if anything you're just pan The point is that I'm up for dating and I could date anyone with any gender, I think, because I don't really have preferences. But I'm never honestly actually attracted to anyone on a physical level? For all my life I've never really felt physical attraction, even when I can plainly see it if someone is good-looking. It's like I completely lack the spark of desire to actually engage in anything sexual. That only changed with one person in 23 years after I started dating them, so I guess that's the "point of demi", but I'm not sure about being that either. I'd have to get too personal to explain why I'm not, anyway, so I'd rather not go any further.

Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are instinctually linked, so it's possible for someone who would otherwise be asexual (but not aromantic) to feel sexual attraction to the one they love, and that's what it means to be demisexual. That said, I don't doubt many people misuse the term. From a technical sense, I'd argue that someone who is demisexual could technically consider themselves to have a sexual orientation matching their romantic one, as orientation refers to who you can be attracted to, not who you will be attracted to, but I can understand why some people would want to make the distinction. Everyone's normal here, alright? What?! No! I refuse to be called normal!  Though in all seriousness, I feel like saying "everyone's normal here" is not the right response, because not only is normality relative and therefore a meaningless term when used in this sense, but inherent in saying this is the assumption that normality is necessarily a positive thing; I'm not a normal person in many ways, and proud of it!

Maybe normal's indeed not the correct word here (because hey, we're all unique and that's what so cool about all of us!), what I meant to say was that there's nothing wrong with how anyone of us is here. We're all "normal" in our own way even though we're different from each other, and that being different from each other in for example sexual orientation does not make any of us "abnormal" in the sense that it's "wrong" to be that way. My main message here is just, let's respect everyone for who they are, and a comment like "I'm normal" is not really a helpful comment in that, and I hope that from this point onwards this thread can remain a civilized discussion that does not belittle any sexual orientation.

Is it possible to be incidentally homosexual Yes. From experience and the Kinsey scale you can be incidentally a different sexuality Edit: that's not worded very well but whatever you know what I mean

I still have no idea what I am. See, I like girls. But I also like girls with dicks, and explicitly only girls with dicks, not traps. Knowing it's a guy ruins it for me, somehow. Any more masculinity is a huge turn off for me. So I just don't know anymoree.

You're attracted to femininity and the female form and you said it yourself that you don't like masculinity. So yeah sounds like normal heterosexuality. I'd go into all the differences with (anime) futa/trap and (real-life) trans female/crossdresser, but that's something for a Gender/Sex Ed Thread, not here.

It also goes to trans people too. If you identify as a girl, I can feel physical attraction to you. If you identify as a guy, no matter how girly you look, I can't feel physical attraction to you. I'd guess it's just a psychological thing.
