About

The Aphobe List is a comprehensive list comprised of more than 2,000 Tumblr users who have been accused of expressing derogatory statements toward asexuals on the microblogging site.

Origin

The term aphobic is used to label anybody who disagrees with the notion that asexual or aromantic people (colloquially referred to as "aspec" and "arospec") should be included in the LGBT+ community, which has been a frequent subject debate on Tumblr. On April 27th, 2017, Tumblr user dandymeowth published a list of people accused of expressing aphobic views, along with a link to an extension allowing readers to block all of the Tumblr users at once.[1]

Spread

The list began circulating in late December 2017, when popular blogs began ironically asking whether or not their username had ended up on the list. This post was later updated to remove the user names. On December 27th, Tumblr user weedeater420[3] posted a fake Donald Trump tweet praising dandymeowth's patriotism (shown below, left). That day, Tumblr user sakuino[2] posted a joke that the aphobe list is actually the Death Note, gaining over 2,200 notes within 24 hours (shown below, right).
