Real True Facts about Asexuals and Aromantics

Allosexuals often believe that exercise and socialization will have some effect on asexual people’s sexuality.  For decades, this unusual delusion was believed to be inexplicable.  However, in recent years research has revealed that it is based in the well-known inability of allosexuals to understand that their experiences are not universal, and their resultant impulse to project their mating habits onto others.

In this case, it appears that “gymnasiums”, an area where allosexuals engage in both exercise and socialization, may be central to their courtship practices.  Allosexuals may therefore believe that, if asexual people are in these areas, they will also be inspired to engage in mating rituals.

Also, previously unintelligible inscriptions, such as “Suns Out Guns Out” and “I Flexed And The Sleeves Fell Off”, have been interpreted to indicate that allosexuals see some form of connection between exercise and nudity.  As allosexuals frequently experience the urge to mate when nudity and socialization are combined, this perceived connection may explain their irrational - yet intriguing - beliefs.

////////This blog was started in 2015, when both flags were about equally common, and has been mostly inactive since 2016.  This is the original flag created in 2011.  The green/grey/black one is from late 2014. I haven’t happened to update the banner and icon since I made the blog.  However, the concept of a “right” aro flag is not one I can entirely support.  I do intend to switch when I get a chance as this is not the most widely recognised aro flag in 2020.

The two reasons I’ve seen for rejecting the flag with orange are:

1) It too closely resembles the Pan-African and Rastafarian flag/colors.  (It... doesn’t.  At all.  Even a little bit.  They have neither the same number of stripes nor even the same colors.)

2) The black stripe originally represented ‘romantics who reject traditional romantic culture’, which people found dodgy, and the orange stripe originally represented lithromantics when people felt that instead it should represent demiromantics and grey-romantics.  Which, like, a) half the flags don’t have meaning to their colors anyway and no one actually knows ‘em anyhow b) meaning can change, just swap over the orange to greyro and demiro c) the bit about the black has room for lots of debate but again meanings can be changed and the current flag also has black.

Again, I’m going to change when I get a moment to do so, but “right” isn’t really a word that applies.

Fact: They said - if you don’t want romance, what do you want?  Well - aromantics, as a rule, want to be - SHINY!  Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck, they will sparkle like a wealthy woman’s neck, watch them dazzle like diamonds in the rough.
