romance repulsed aros are not homophobic for being repulsed romance repulsed aros are not just cynical romance repulsed aros are not just immature

romance repulsed aros are just as imporant as sex repulsed aces romance repulsed aros are just as valid as sex repulsed aces

romance repulsion deserves to be taken seriously

Shoutout to aros who are repulsed by romance when it applies to them, and extra shoutout to aros who are repulsed by romance in fiction, and extra extra shoutout to aros who are repulsed by real romance that is separate from them

#aro #romance repulsion #that last one is something i don't see discussed much even in conversations about romance repulsion? #like. i am so happy for my friends in romo relationships and i wish the best for them #but if they act romantic or say romantic things around me i will be very unhappy #and there's a lot of guilt around that #and sometimes it feels like i'm the only one who feels this way even around other aros

I know no one's obligated to adjust their behaviour for my comfort but god sometimes I wish my allo friends would understand that I'm not comfortable hearing about their sexual/romantic experiences

#i've felt guilty about it for too long #now i'm owning it #do not talk to me about your sex life #even if we're friends i don't want to hear it #romance repulsion #sex repulsion #aromantic #asexual #asexuality #aroace #allonormativity

my English teacher is having us write about whether we think romantic love is overrated or not.

the aromantic struggle

[ID: Meme from iCarly. A man stands there, unaware that the person behind him is about to bash his head in with a stop sign. The man about to get his head bashed in is labelled “me enjoying a romance story” and the person wielding a stop sign with violent intent is labelled “romance repulsion”.]

Plato-repulsed and romo-repulsed culture is not knowing what's left while wanting close relationships

something about these posts on here that go "oh you hate me? lets make out" and "prev i am kissing you on the lips" and "we shall have a summer wedding (@ random strangers)" and such feel like they are specifically designed to make romance repulsed aros feel unsafe.

dont get me wrong i dont think they are made with malice. but they are very effective at making me want to run really far away. i haven't said anything cause i dont think anyone cares but. here's me, saying it: these kinds of comments can be extremely uncomfortable, and you can't know if they will be just by looking at sameone. now you know.

Okay, I guess Tumblr needs a refresher on what (sex/romance/etc) repulsion actually is:

Repulsion is: - Feeling uncomfortable hearing people detail their relationships - Feeling uncomfortable around people performing PDA - Feeling uncomfortable reading romance/sex/etc - Feeling uncomfortable watching romance/sex/etc content in media - Feeling uncomfortable when someone is attracted to you in a romantic/sexual/etc way

Repulsion is NOT: - Being uncomfortable because a couple is visibly queer - Hating any and all sex/romance/etc

(and there are plenty other ways to experience repulsion and not everyone will feel repulsed in the same ways)

Repulsion itself is not homophobia; Repulsion itself is not sex/romance/etc negativity. Those things can sometimes coincide, but one does not equal the other. Being repulsed is not being homophobic; Being repulsed is not being negative.

Edit: You don't have to feel all of these things or feel them consistently to be repulsed. Repulsion is a fluid and varied thing. Also, you can feel repulsed by media and not repulsed by irl things or repulsed by irl things and not repulsed by things in media.

Repulsion is not the same from person to person and it's not always the same from day to day.

Romance repulsion is weird cuz I start shipping my oc with a character and I suddenly feel really uncomfortable and upset cuz every oc of mine is partially an outlet of myself (not in a self insert way but in a “oh shit I’ve been projecting again” way) so part of me feels like im being involved in some way and it makes me feel yucky

Spicy take time-

I've given up on being romance negative for Lent /hj because romance-favorable aros exist and deserve to be happy and proud too but...being romance negative and being sex negative aren't equivalent character flaws. Cultural Christianity has given everyone it affects this massive brain rot about sex where it's something everyone is supposed to want, but hate themselves for wanting and shun and ban from the public sphere and discussions of human life as much as possible.

But there's no real equivalent negative social trend in regards to romance. It's still put on a pedestal as the one way to be, the thing that makes us human, the only way to live a happy life and something you're supposed to instinctually understand and cherish even by people who really should know better and about what damage pushing society's one conformist model of a happy life onto others can do.

So yeah, both bad I know, but one directly feeds into societal bigotry in a way that the other doesn't really?
