Okay so. Do you realize that when alloaros & non-SAM aros say that people think aromantic means the same thing as asexual, that they hear "aroace" or even just "ace" when we say "aro"... that we don't just mean online? Because it seems some of you really don't realize this.
Which is wild, bc even the people who make these mistakes online obviously also exist in the offline world? They don't know any better offline than they do online??
Some of you are really going "this is purely a niche online thing" and it's fucking bullshit. But yeah, keep telling me how I've never encountered this in offline queer spaces bc clearly aroace is only ever treated as the default state of aromanticism online, I'm sure you know better. /s

Teen boys are expected to be sexual, but God forbid they be sexual without romance.

Ace-centric aspecs will literally call alloaros "violently aphobic" for politely asking to be included and to stop pretending like we don't exist
Who cares that I constantly get kicked out of aspec spaces for being alloaro and talking about my sexuality
Who cares that I have people in real life constantly be like "you're ace right?" When I've mentioned being aro before
Who cares that other aspecs tell me that I'm invading their spaces
Who cares that other aspecs throw me under the bus as an argument against exclusionists
Who cares that 90% of alloaros don't know they're alloaro because they either don't know what aro is or assume they have to be ace to be aro
Who cares that aces constantly derail every single non-ace aspec post to make it all about them and erase every single trace of alloaros
Who cares that people specifically want me to be ace because having sexual attraction without romantic attraction is disgusting and shameful and it makes them more comfortable if I lack attraction completely
Who cares that every single aromantic character in media is immediately assumed to be aroace and my representation is seen as "lesser" and unimportant compared to asexual representation
Who cares that the aro flag is constantly left out of pride merch lineups because either people don't know what it is or assume the ace flag is enough
Who cares, right? Who cares that I don't feel safe in either the aspec or the allox2 queer communities?
You can't separate aro and ace so clearly that means you get to tell me I'm aphobic for saying that I don't want to be called aroace.
Fuck me, right? Clearly it's a lot to ask that people just make an effort to include non-ace aros in aro posts that apply to us. Clearly it's too much to ask that non-ace aros just don't fucking derail OUR explicitly alloaro posts to make it about them, right?
Clearly alloaros are the aphobic ones for asking the most represented part of the community to stop actively silencing us.
I'm just a violent aphobe who's disgusted by the mere existence of aroaces.
No no no. Aroace are the victims because I *checks notes* asked them not to contribute to my oppression.

ok if you’re having trouble separating aromantic and asexual in your mind, picture aromanticism as brown hair and asexuality as brown eyes. some people have both, yes - some people are aroace - and some people have neither, or just brown hair, or just brown eyes, or what have you. brown hair and brown eyes don’t always go together! for example, i have brown hair and hazel eyes, and i’m aromantic but not asexual.

this is a barely cohesive ramble abt knowing i was aro without knowing what being aro was
ive known im aroallo for a super long time, 6th grade is the earliest specific memory i have of knowing this. This girl i was friends with was asking me who i like and when i said i didnt like anyone she asked if i was asexual. I was like no im not asexual, and in my head i was just thinking that i was aro not ace.
Its just so weird to think back on things like this bc there was no light bulb moments when i realized i didnt feel romantic attraction, i just always knew i didnt and learning the word aromantic just gave me a term and community for that feeling
another time i wanted to be friends with a boy and was so tired of ppl thinking i was lying abt not liking any one that i just lied to a friend and told her i liked him. i knew i didnt like him but i just wanted to be included so badly that i would have rather lied abt it
having to lie about crushes to get people to stop asking is horrible, but i'm glad you've found the aro community now!

posting this bcuz one time my step sister (who is bisexual) got fucking PISSED when she found out about neopronouns, xenopronouns and polyamorus relationships.
There is no valid reason to hate on the REAL members of the LGBTQIA+. I say "real" because pedos and zoos pretend they're in the community.

i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.
the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

Things friends can't do according to allos!
(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe. Also I know not all allos are like this.)
Give each other meaningful gifts
Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes
Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)
Match clothes or accessories
Hold hands for 'too long' (???)
Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)
Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'
Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands
Lean onto the other emotionally and physically
Smile in one another's presence
Laugh at each others jokes
Give genuine advice
Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc
Ask how the others doing
I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

If aroaces and non-sam aspecs are allowed to feel how they feel about their aspec identities then alloaros are allowed to feel how we feel about ours
You can't separate ace and aro? Cool, there's a hard line between the two for me.
You see them as two sides of the same community? Great for you, I don't. I want nothing to do with the asexual community because I'm explicitly not asexual.
You don't get to call us aphobic for feeling how we feel about our identities. Similarly, you aren't inherently alloarophobic for just feeling that way about your own labels. It's treating it as the default or "correct" way that's alloarophobic.

so funny how people on this website are like "how is celibacy sweeping in this poll you guys are all virgin losers. casual sex is awesome you should fuck your friends" until the person having casual sex and fucking their friends is aro. then they start pissing and shitting themselves.
