My First Experience with Major Aphobia

I've lived a pretty happy aroace life. With an exception or two, nearly everyone I've come out to has been kind and curious. I knew aphobia was a thing, of course, but I didn't know it personally.

Until two weeks ago.

I'm a fantasy author with two published books featuring aromantic and asexual teenage protagonists. I am so proud of my babies. They are everything my little aroace heart needed as a teenager.

I have an amazing publisher who is supportive of my characters' orientations. But we had an opportunity to team up with another publisher to create curriculum courses based on my first book, Legend of the Storm Sneezer, for schools. Everything was going swimmingly until I made a Pride post where I mentioned, as I had countless times before, that my main characters are aroace.

And this publisher dropped me like a hot potato.

I received an email terminating our contract. Their reason? Because my characters are aromantic and asexual. It was like a slap to the face. I couldn't believe it. I was heartbroken and angry and hurt. And it didn't end there. The publisher went on to make videos and interviews with conservative social media influencers to make fun of my queer identity and style, and even partook in a smear campaign where they stole my pictures and intellectual property and slandered me thoroughly in an article. It's honestly the worst thing that's happened to me in my career.

But guys, the backlash. The outpour of support for aroace folks. The people who took up arms and fought against aphobia, supporting me, my books, and our community's identities. It was so beautiful my group of aroace writer friends called it "Chickengate" -- the day we stood up to aphobia (the publisher's name has to do with chickens, FYI).

It was a hard blow, but I've come through this so much stronger. My community is stronger. My identity is stronger. My faith is stronger. So, when you face aphobia, remember Chickengate and be strong!

Also, if you want to REALLY stick it to the aphobes, you can check out my fantasy series The Stormwatch Diaries for SO MUCH aromantic and asexual rep. It's perfect for fans of Doctor Who and The Owl House.

Did you see that Enews posted about it too?do you think this was all planned?because it sure looks like it but I just cant see the reason

I think it might have been planned based on a few things such:

Louis announcing 1 day before that he was going to be online and chat with us. He never did that before. I was already a bit suspicious when he posted that tbh

People were expecting him to be online the whole day and when he started chatting we were amused by his usual sassy self until he mentioned Freddie and then the whole Chicken Parmesan happened.

When I found out that that article was posted 1 day before it was already a little confirmation that this whole thing was planned for me

On top of everything, it’s interesting because the article quoted the “childish conspiracy theory” that he mentioned but at the time that they posted that he hadn’t even started answering questions.

But when I read the comments under that article on the writer’s end, that confirmed it even more for me. They’re saying that they prepare some articles beforehand

But honestly how do you accidentally quote something that’s not been posted yet? Do you foretell the future?

Anyways, he sat a date and made sure to mention Freddie and Larry (honestly this was the stretchiest of the strechtes on all the things he could have chose to speak about larry. He or the person who answered for him saw the word chicken and panicked and rushed to make a comment on that not realising that it wasn’t even the right dish shfkshdj) at the same time.

I don’t even know the reasons tbh, it could be anything but the thing is it happened and one of the funniest things is that I’m sure a new wave of new larries is going to join

🐔 There's more ..

🍗 Chickengate/Parmageddon 🧀

[louisarmpits]

i love the chicken conspiracy started

With Mr Louis Tomlinson himself

Louis cooks -> Louis has to tell everyone -> Louis can no longer be gay so his vegetarian gf is who he made it for -> Louis stops speaking about it -> fan jokingly mentions it to him -> Louis starts gaslighting and telling everyone it was a conspiracy -> the italians get offended

Truly a wondrous timeline.

god some some larries are so out of control. like how obsessed do you have to be to read one innocuous tweet about chicken and immediately try to make it about larry.

[enchantedlandcoffee]

Do you think Harry still teases Louis about the chicken parm incident? Like they're out at a restaurant, and he goes, "Are you sure you want chicken, babe? Last time some mentioned it to you, you had a bit of a meltdown."

[landhinlove]

anyways-

happy larry hug anniversary

[tomlinsins]

FUCKFKFKKFKFKF 💀💀💀

Hahahaha! I bet Harry didn’t let him hear the end of it, he’s been dreaming of it. 😆

[loveforbrave]

Happy 'chicken stuffed with mozzarella cheese wrapped in parma ham with some home made mashed potatoes' anniversary to those who celebrate

[dreaminrainbows]

Sometimes i have this wish where i want to sit and interview Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson (not necessary to be together),where there're no blacklisted topics so i can ask them questions like " Louis, do you know the difference between Parmigianino cheese, parma ham and childish theories?" Or "Harry, what was that with the horse noises it was a simple yes or no question, no need to write an essay about the meaning of poetry to people about it?" Or like " so, exactly how many ai created pics have you seen of Harry, Louis?" Or " my dude what's with wmyb and falling in love to that song, it was literally overplayed in 2010? You're the only person alive who listens to it out of their own free will, i swear!! So what's with that?" and etc...

Just so i can watch them squirm and stutter and sweat and stumble over their words for my personal amusement, kicks and giggles.

Just to watch 15 years of media training go down the drain the minute the other's name is mentioned.

A girl can dream...
