I mean, discord is full of disgusting deviants, I'm not surprised.

You sound asexual. That's fine.

Why did you bring rape up? Seems strange. People can be horny without wanting to rape someone. Being in a relationship has never made me think it was more okay to rape my partner. That's fucked up. I'm gonna chalk up that line of thinking to being unfamiliar with how normal people experience horniness.

I don't think anyone can be voluntarily or involuntarily asexual. It's just kind of an intrinsic trait of your personality. It's like saying you involuntarily have brown hair.

Re: the consent: I was initially confused like you, but while I’m not OP and can’t say for certain, I’m pretty sure they extend the concept of consent to also include being a target of lust, as in the target isn’t intending to, or consenting to, being a target of lust. As in using an image of someone/something not consenting to that use case, as material for self pleasure for example. I think.

Weirdly enough that isn’t something I’ve ever thought about actively. In a way it makes sense to extend it thus though. But then again it seems like a complex topic I’ve no expertise in, so I’ll just leave it at that.
