I genuinely hate when people invalidate demiromantic/demisexual/other labels in general by saying somethin like "OMG!!!! why do these labels exist that's how every relationship is!!!!! what has this generation come to?!!?,!?!!"

some people out here are dating someone they just met two days ago. while it literally took me two whole years of getting to know someone before having a crush on them. can y'all please not find excuses to invalidate aspec/arospec people. thanks

If you claim to be an aromantic ally but you deliberately don’t support loveless, heartless or aplatonic aros, then I hate to break it to you but you are not an ally.

And this is coming from an aromantic who happens to experience other forms of love quite strongly. But the moment someone tries to say something along the lines of “love is what makes us human” I am willing to flip tables.

Ace(spec)s and aro(specs): hey romance and sex are TWO DIFFERENT things! Romantic and sexual attraction are different! It's extremely harmful to our community/communities to say they are the same. Aces can love without sex/without feeling sexual attraction and aros can have sex without it being a romantic thing/without feeling romantic attraction and that's fine!

Exclusionists online: um it's acephobic to use the split attraction model if you're not aspec btw. Your romantic and sexual orientations have to be the same. I am a good aspec ally.

Arospec and polyam lads took one look at societal norms/expectations and went “no, i don’t think i will”

honestly i think the one thing that drove home that i was aromantic for me was finally realizing that my feelings of fear of abandonment are not love, and thus that ive never experienced actual romantic love in my life.

because if my fear of abandonment was an indicator of romantic love, then i come to love everybody eventually, and that just doesnt seem logical, so it has to be that i dont love anybody. im able to turn off all positive feelings for a person once they wrong me in some significant way, i dont ever come to love their shortcomings and flaws, i just come to accept them in time. i like having a room of trinkets to return to but i dont necessarily ever need a person to be there, sometimes dont even want one, sometimes dont even necessarily want a home, just a resting spot with a comfortable bed and my computer.

i dont romantically love, and thats okay.

Hi, as aromantic is on trending, I'd like to ask what a loveless aro is? As someone on both the aro and ace spectrum I'd really like to be educated more

[canonically47]

i hate amatonormativity.

i hate how being single is considered bad. i hate how the older you get, the worse society treats you if you lack a partner, especially as a woman. i hate how i am not believed when i say i don’t have a crush. i hate how a romantic relationship is seen as the best relationship there is. i hate the relationship hierarchy. i hate how sexualized everything is. i hate how people would just never get it if they knew the true reason i rejected them. i hate being aromantic in a hetero- and amatonormative society, not because i hate my identity, but because i hate the way it is treated. i hate how i am not taken seriously. i hate how i am told i can, or will, be fixed. i hate how i am treated as a broken half rather than a content whole. and i hate romance, by god, how i hate it. i hate seeing a couple on the street knowing i will never have what they do. i hate unnecessarry romance in media. i hate that romance in itself is a plotline. i hate kissing. i hate hand-holding. i hate dates. i hate that i can’t do any of those without it being considered romantic. i hate that romance and sex seem to go hand in hand. i hate the insistence that i will have that one day. i hate that i am ‘too young to know’ and i hate soulmates and i hate those stupid fucking tropes.

i hate amatonormativity.

Petition to steal this holiday and turn it into the cooler Aromantic day. Y'know, as a warm-up to the awareness week.

Can we just appreciate that Persephone said aromantic rights! Like it made me feel so happy when she said “And there are those of course who experience no romantic feelings whatsoever,” It felt so good to be seen. I nearly cried, I never expect my experience to be represented so when it is it makes me feel things. Then she went on to talk about how no matter what form love takes you still have to cultivate it. She acknowledged that aromantic people are still fully capable of love, we can still have deep and meaningful relationships. And it just made me so happy.

More of a vent post tbh, but I really wish being aromantic was talked about more in our society. I wish it was seen as normal.

Growing up I always felt like there was something wrong with me, because I was surrounded by so many romance tropes in media and I had never really been able to feel those feelings myself. Everyone around me was falling in love or having crushes and I used to pretend I had fake crushes on people, just to be seen as normal in front of my friends.

Looking back on that it feels really heartbreaking, newer generations of aros deserve better. I’m glad we have more of a community now.

“i could never have a fwb, one of us would just end up catching feelings and getting their heart broken.” skill issue.
