User:UBX/SRI asexual

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

I think that this may fall under WP:UBCR. Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction but it's enduring. It's an orientation that people identify as. This is like saying someone's gay because they take fluoxetine. Also while the adverse effects section in the article claims that it can cause "decreased libido" which again, is the not the same thing as asexuality, there's no evidence I'm aware of that taking antidepressants somehow irrevesibly changes your sexual orientation. The userbox states "past use of SRI drugs". Clover moss (talk) 05:18, 1 June 2022 (UTC); edited 05:34, 1 June 2022 (UTC) and 11:42, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I'm not against people identifying as asexual if they feel that label describes themselves. What I think could be under WP:UBCR is that "must not be inflammatory or substantially divisive" or "must not include incivility or personal attacks". The image in the userbox includes an image of a skull, which could potentially be seen as dehumanizing. That, with the accompanying text, which is "This user has been rendered mostly asexual and aromantic by the past use of SRI drugs" seems problematic. But if it's not something that qualifies for deletion under MfD, maybe it should be reconsidered being in Userboxes/Life/Sexuality? Clover moss  (talk) 16:16, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination. This very possibly falls under WP:UBCR, and to me seems to be enough "inflammatory or substantially divisive" to warrant deletion. Also, an image of a skull really speaks for itself; I really wonder what the creator had on their mind when deciding to use it as part of the userbox. —Sundostund (talk) 17:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: While it may be true, eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3108697/, it is uncited assertion of medical opinion. SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:05, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
