I think what the alloro's don't get is we're not like, out to take love from them. We don't see the word love and automatically grow rabidly angry (mostly lol).
For example, I just saw a text post that was something like, "I love love and being a lover." This was fine. It didn't make me feel gross. It didn't make me feel less than. And what it really boils down to is how that love is being framed.
This post is personal. They have strong feelings about love!! Great!! The "I" takes a strong lead in the sentence. Good job, op, I support you.
What I've seen piss a lot of people off is the posts of the genre, "_____ is about love," or "love is all that matters, " or even, "love is what makes us human." These statements automatically rope EVERYONE into the sentiment.
I try to see many of them with grace. Sure, love is in the soup, whatever. I can recognize that this is just a silly sentiment about how soup makes us warm, and food can be shared at the dinner table, etc. It's a metaphor in action. It might annoy me, but there are no real repercussions of that thought process.
The ones that are trying to sell love to everyone as the most important, vital thing in the world, though? Steeped in amatanormativity. And that is just furthering the cycle of dehumanization for aro people. And they don't even realize it.

I'm seeing a influx of people using the wording "aroace spectrum" as opposed to aspec, or using aroace as if it covers all aros and aces, like...
Do I really have to explain why that's not as inclusive a move as you'd think it is?
If someone addressed me, a aro, as "under the aroace spectrum", I would be questioning their allyship even if they themselves are aspec because no where in that's sentence did I say I'm also ace.
Using that wording instead of aspec is as much dismissive and hurtful to non-ace aros as it does when people shove our aromanticism under asexuality without thinking on why it's not helpful or disrespectful.
I feel so strongly on demanding that aroness and aceness is seen as separate, on demanding proper recognition and respect for aroallos and non-SAM aros, on demanding that my aroness is seen as enough on its own because calling me ace or aroace is erasure on my identity; It pushes the wrong narrative and box onto my experiences. It promotes misunderstandings on not just aromanticism but also asexuality. It treats my label something not worthy of taking up space in the aro community, in the aspec community, in the queer community.
Stop using 'aroace' or as the umbrella word to cover the aspec community.

This Valentine's Day, let's talk about amatonormativity.
Amatonormativity: the assumption that everyone desires and is better off with a monogamous long-term romantic relationship with the end goal of marriage.
It's kind of like "heteronormativity" but for aromantic and poly people!
Some people assume that the term was coined by aromantics-- it was actually made by philospher Elizabeth Brake when writing about marriage within contemporary society. Here's her webpage on the term!
Amatonormativity affects a lot of people: aros who may not want a romantic relationship, poly people who may not want exclusive relationship, and even people who want a romantic exclusive relationship but don't want to get married!
Why am I talking about this on Valentine's Day? Well, I want to people to talk about why this holiday may be uncomfortable for some people within the context of amatonormativity
Maybe you're single and upset you don't have a partner when others around you are bragging about theirs. Maybe you're aro and tired of the expectation that you should have a Valentine. I'm here to say: don't let the societal pressure of amatonormativity get you down. Take things at your own pace, have the types of relationships you want when you want them, and don't let anyone shame you for not having a romantic partner today.

OK so because I got two posts almost in a row, I know it's aro week and that's why people want it trending.
But Palestine isn't in the top 9 right now and I think that's more important to be up there so could we please show at least as much effort, preferably more.
