Totally NOT crazy person on TikTok wants you to know what 'cupiosexual' means and this is completely normal
After singer Beyoncé's recent brush with the PC police over accidentally using an "ableist slur," BlazeTV's Allie Beth Stuckey would never say that the person who posted a video explaining what "cupiosexual" means on TikTok is crazy or loony or totally insane. Sure, this person gyrates around in some sort of peculiar dance that involves extreme close-ups of her nostrils and some maniacal cackling, but that's only because she really, really wants you to understand that there are people out there who "do not feel sexual attraction toward others," but they still "wish or want to be in a sexual relationship with someone."
Got it? No? Well, just watch the video below to hear our totally not crazy TikToker explain:
"That person is sadly unhinged," Allie commented. (Note that she did not call anyone "crazy.")
"And she's getting affirmation for her mental instability on TikTok," Allie added. (Okay, well, sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.)

Beyoncé to edit 'ableist slur' out of her new song after furor from disability activists
Singer Beyoncé will change a song from her latest album release after a campaign from disability activists slammed her over an "ableist slur."
The politically incorrect word was included in the song "Heated" from the “Renaissance" album.
Activists objected to the use of the word "spaz" in the line “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass." The lyrics of the song were composed by Drake, another popular singer.
The word is used colloquially to describe a person "freaking out," but it is considered a slur against disabled people, especially those with spastic cerebral palsy.
While most of her fans celebrated the new album, others on social media excoriated Beyoncé for including the slur.
"Screw you @Beyonce . You should be a role model, not making money from the lazy use of derogatory language. Shame on you," read one tweet.
"So @Beyonce used the word 'spaz' in her new song Heated. Feels like a slap in the face to me, the disabled community & the progress we tried to make," said a disability activist. "Guess I'll just keep telling the whole industry to 'do better' until ableist slurs disappear from music."
"Beyonce has no excuse for using the word sp@z in her new song," read another response. "Why are disabled people constantly having to fight for ableist slurs to stop being used."
The singer's representatives responded to the outrage in a statement to CNN, saying, “the word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced.”
The same ableist epithet was included in a song by Lizzo, who also said she would edit it over activist outrage in June.
"Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language," the singer said. "As a fat black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I overstand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)."
Some defended Beyoncé and Lizzo by claiming that the same word is used by the black community in a way that should not be taken as offensive to disabled to people.
