#aromantic awareness week

[pokimoko]

It's Aro-Spec Awareness Week again my friends, and that means it's time for more silly little critters! (You can find last year's here.) ✨Keep up the amazing work, fellow aros✨

This one is arguably very personal because I have no idea if other aros feel the same – but I've seen too many stories about a character being rejected where the person doing the rejecting is (accidentally or not) implied to be some sort of "bad guy" or "the one who has it easier", so I guess I had an itch to show my side.

Aromantic people and alloromantic people have such different views on what "true love" is that it's not about one or the other being "in the wrong" – it's just one big compatibility issue. All I can say is – as an aromantic, being confessed to romantically IS what leaves me heartbroken, for such reasons. Hopefully there will be a broader understanding of this in the future.

I feel like some people within the aspec community need to check themselves for aphobia like it's seriously concerning. I'm not just talking about internalized aphobia btw, I'm also talking about straight up aphobia against other members of the community.

If you're ace, that does not mean you are immune to being arophobic. Same goes if you're aro, you are not immune to being acephobic.

If you're aroace, you could also be aphobic without it necessarily being what could be considered as "internalized" (e.g. being aphobic to a favorable aroace when you're repulsed, being aphobic to aroaces who are non-partnering when you're partnering, being aphobic to loveless aros when you aren't loveless or lovequeer aros when you aren't lovequeer, etc. etc.).

That's not even talking about the amatonormativity in the community either.
