#glad you’re happy

[altschmerzes]

every time a post/poll goes around about being aspec and fandom shipping enjoyment/engagement/whatever im like. NOW can we stop acting like being an aromantic person who enjoys shipping is some kind of Weird Outlier Situation? can we stop acting like this is an Unpopular Opinion or even Persecuted Outcast Take rather than idk, the default standard, just like everywhere else? idk romance repulsed aromantics Yes Including Fiction aren’t the default or even a significant majority and it really drives me nuts when people act like aros who enjoy shipping are somehow Not exactly that.

#gav gab #aro blogging #like gdspeed bud enjoy what you enjoy #glad you’re happy #but can we fucking knock it off with the ‘but am i VALID to be an aro who likes shipping?????’ stuff #like yeah dog you and fucking Everybody Else in fandom #a small handful of ‘im too aro for this’ from the handful of Yes Including Fiction Yes All Of It romance repulsed aros #are not persecuting you or taking away your aro card #anyways that goes along with my general opinion that #going around asking people Is It Valid To Be X Identity And Have Y Experience Or Opinion #is a fundamentally useless and unhelpful thing to do #and is unfair to yourself and to the person you're asking #bc you're placing your like #ability to Have An Identity in someone else's hands #which they did not ask for #and is not theirs to give or not give anyway #this one just super extra annoys me lmao #'am i valid if i'm an aro who still likes shipping?????' well if you weren't #most aros wouldn't be ValidTM #because that is not unusual at all #you know what IS unusual? #being the big mean aro in the corner who DOESN'T like shipping #no none of it yes including that one I Do Mean All
