#actually aplatonic

[aurangg]

I wish not having friends wasn’t seen as such a loser, weirdo, and lame thing. I wish having a lack of emotion and empathy wasn’t seen as creepy or cruel. I wish being aplatonic and not having platonic attraction or being aromantic and not having romantic attraction wasn’t seen as some undesirable thing.

I’m not a robot. I’m not boring and uninteresting. I just experience the world around us much differently to you. I’ve seen things you couldn’t even dream of. I’ve experienced things you wouldn’t wish on anybody.

i’m getting increasingly tired of people coming into aplatonic (and afamilial) spaces to tell us “i don’t understand you, but i support you!!” like cool. that’s like. the bare minimum. at best it’s just annoying and taking up space in places for us and at worst it’s infantilizing and dehumanizing. if you actually support us, speak up for us and stop talking over us. if you support us, work to normalizing being friendless, stop demonizing people for not wanting friends. if you support us, normalize not caring about or wanting family. if you support us, stop hating people for not liking or caring about their family. saying you support me does nothing for me.

Aplatonic Visibility Day 2025

[exosys]

aspec culture is realising that the reason i could never communicate what i want in a relationship is that i dont. i dont want any of it.

No imo today sorry 💔

In fact, total break from the usual focus of my content lol no narcissism at all (though I’m still using some of the tags for the sake of reach. I’ve noticed a nice little overlap between aplatonicism and npd/npd traits, lmao)

Today—ironically by request of my friends—I felt like making a new/alternate design for the aplatonic flag because I’ve never liked the standard one very much. I wasn’t fond of the colours, which is fine, but the meanings also rubbed me the wrong way? Take a look at what I mean:

It just feels weird to me to design it based around what we aren’t, as well as how we can “make up” for our aplatonicism, so to speak. I don’t think that was the intention. but I dislike it all the same.

Anyway, here’s my own design:

Meanings:

Pink & green - friending and nonfriending aplatonics, placed next to each other to show solidarity

White - joy in one’s aplatonic identity; mirrors the white stripe on many aspec flags

Grey - greyplatonics and demiplatonics, like on other aspec flags

Black - finishes the white-grey-black gradient present in other aspec flags; represents aspec community and aplatonicism as a whole :3

hopefully I’ll do another imo thing soon. If not, uhhh… Whoops!

being aplatonic but not aromantic or afamilial but always having been disinterested in romance and having a shit family sucks ass omg

[identityarchitect]

can i be real the thought of someone having a platonic crush on me freaks me out more than the thought of someone having a romantic crush on me

[andromeda-collective]

anyone else feel like this

[already-knew-i-wasnt-human]

So apparently people can form strong deep bonds with people, and feel on the same wavelength as specific others. That is....um apparently something that is the norm to feel, and all I have got to say to that is,

WHAT THE FUCK

[aurangg]

Being asexual, aromantic or aplatonic is powerful, you reject one of the main things society is built upon.

“we need more weird queer people” yall can’t handle aplatonics

[scn-thedog]

Hey, I just found this blog, so I'm not sure if you do this but I was womdering if there was/you could make an eraplatonic (was once alloplatonic, but for some reason in now aplspec) flah :3

There you go, I based it off flags I found for erasexual

I also designed one myself

White and yellow - Alloplatonic

The grey divider on the white and yellow stripes - No longer Alloplatonic due to any reason or none, it also goes downwards and stops before the aplatonic stripes to symbolise that the person is now aplatonic

Green, blue and purple - From the Aplatonic flag, for currently being aplatonic now

I sadly couldn't find any for you so I made some based from those I found and tried making one myself
