They are not even doing anything sexually. Why is their inaction offending people?

Ace person here. We get mistaken for being prudes, snobs, or arrogant. Or, because we don't put out, we get a lot of hate from people who are attracted to us even though we won't reciprocate (or might selectively reciprocate).

People just can't fathom the concept of 'not horny'.

    As a not ace person, yup it's a tough one for people. It's almost like telling someone you don't sleep or get tired. That said some of the kinkiest people I know are ace. I mean they don't interpret what they are doing in a sexual manner but it's still kinky. Like rope and a movie or enjoying being tickled or flogged.
