fun fact (not fun at all fact actually) :
aromanticism and asexuality are still treated as issues to be fixed in most therapy settings, at least in the western psychiatric institution. i cannot fucking mention my aromanticism or asexuality to a therapist or it’ll immediately become their primary concern and goal to fix. whether or not i have a partner/am trying to have a partner is actively being used as an indicator of my wellness, regardless of if i WANT one. i cannot have access to needed mental health ressources because of fear of conversion therapy. aro and/or ace conversion therapy is the norm in most psychiatric institutions and we are getting told by the rest of the queer community that our oppression isnt real and that there is no link between our struggles and theirs.

aro and/or ace culture is wondering “is that actually a thing alloromantics and/or allosexuals experience? or is it just the Media™ pushing unrealistic narratives for everyone involved?”

a very fucking special shout-out to aros who have been the token "weird queer" friend amongst a queer friend group, only to have the novelty lost and find yourself left when they all decide their romantic relationships matter more than you, or your aromantic worldview becomes off-putting because they don't (and don't try to) understand what amatonormativity means.
i have many qualms. this happens to a lot of aros, and it just speaks to the infantilization of aro folks (and ace too!) when all we're seen as is the weird one who doesn't feel love, there for the amusement of "normal queers" and then cast out when they find something more interesting.
if your friend group did/does this, it may mean they weren't truly seeing you, or doing their best to be actual allies to aro and aspec people.
it's the gay best friend trope all over again. everybody loves the gay best friend because it's trendy to have one and not treat them like a person outside the stereotype.
and it fucking sucks. ive been there.
it's not your fault you're not "palatable". let them choke.

I know 'no homo' is an extremely outdated and unnecessary term but can we please keep 'no romo'
Like just for the aros.
Please. Please I want to keep saying no romo cause it's really funny to me. Like bro kiss me. No romo though. Let's go on a date no romo
will you accept my hand in marriage no romo
they lived together 40 years but absolutely no romo

me before realizing i'm aroace: why is everyone so obsessed with romance? sex sounds so gross. i don't want to have kids or marry anyone. why do people my age care so much about crushes? i don't want to date anyone.
me after realizing i'm aroace: it all makes sense now.

PLEASE explain to me how the A in lgbtqia+ stands for ally and not asexual, aromantic, and agender. Please. That's like saying white allies of the black community are in the community. Do you seriously not see how stupid you sound?? Why would allies PEOPLE WHO AREN'T EVEN IN THE COMMUNITY THEY JUST SUPPORT IT be in the acronym for the fucking community??

”I’m uncomfortable with (others/myself) shipping aromantic characters” and “I ship aromantic characters because aros can still date” are statements that can and should co-exist.
sincerely, an aro who likes to ship fellow aro characters

”cannibalism is a metaphor for romance and romantic love!!”
Ok but have you considered, I just don’t like most people and the idea of eating them is appealing? Ever thought of that? That it’s a solid way to get rid of a body and save money on fresh meat? We’re literally in a depression don’t tell me you wouldn't at-least try it once
