AROALLO PRIDE. AUTISTIC PRIDE. AROMANTIC PRIDE. NON-BINARY PRIDE

ahem

I LOVE BEING AROMANTIC!!!!!!!!

What about the AlloAros who are sluts? What about the ones that do like to have a lot of sex? Who like to have one-night-stands? Are they not worth your positivity? Are they not worth your support?

I get that a lot of AroAllos are called sluts as an insult, and for them, it may feel good to be reassured that that isn't true. But what I think would be better is to take away the negative connotations of the word slut.

While I personally don't like to use the term slut for myself, and I understand any other person who doesn't like the term, there are a lot of AroAllos who do identify themselves as sluts, or call themselves sluts. That's not a bad thing. It's not immoral or evil to be a slut. No matter the reason they use that term.

If you don't include those of us who do fit the "negative" stereotypes, you exclude all of us. I do not feel safe with a person who tries to reassure me in my identity by saying "you aren't a slut" even if I'm not and what they're saying is true to me. Because what always swings with it is a silent "but if you were..."

So that then makes me wonder, what goes "too far"? Where's the line? When am I one of the "bad ones" and left in the dust?

If you only support AroAllos based on some arbitrary standards set by your own discomfort around sex, you support none of us.

THE WORLD. DOES NOT REVOLVE. AROUND ROMANCE AND SEX!

THE WORLD DEFINITELY DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOUR ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL DESIRES!!!

PEOPLE. DO NOT HAVE TO. LIST THEIR ATTRACTIONS (or lack there of) IN THEIR BIO

BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO PEOPLE WITH THE GOAL OF INTERACTING WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, NOT A SEX DOLL!!!

Happy pride month to AroAllos who are aplatonic!

Happy pride month especially to AroAllos with often demonised mental disorders and disabilities! Especially those with low/no empathy! Happy pride month to AroAllos with personality disorders! Happy pride to AroAllos with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders!

Happy pride month to AroAllos who prioritise sexual connections and/or relationships over platonic ones!

Happy pride month to all the AroAllos who are often excluded from or demonised in even spaces specifically for AroAllos because those spaces still focus a lot on platonic relationships and love and empathy, while ignoring that some of us don’t experience or don’t prioritise those experiences!

if you are making something featuring multiple flags and you put in the asexual flag, you better put in the aromantic flag.

if you put in the aroace flag, you better put in the aroallo flag.

(and also, these are usually the same people who mock those who DO say they want an fwb relationship or something similar.)
