Allo Aro Worlds

It gets kinda tiring, constantly seeing general aro experiences called "aroace experiences", as though aroaces were the only ones to experience them or – more likely – as though aroaces were the only aros

you need to be more normal about fwb. no, fwb don’t strip you of your dignity. they are not unhealthy. sexual relationships are not bad. it’s not weird to want them and not romance. friends can fuck. you don’t have to be involved romantically to be intimate with someone. that includes all sorts of physical touch because you are also not normal about platonic non-sexual touch. it’s not weird if friends cuddle, sleep in one bed, hold hands or kiss. friends can be affectionate with each other. it doesn’t mean they are romantically attracted to each other. nor does it mean they will ever be in a romantic relationship. you need to be more normal about touch and sex in general.

did you know that if you want to signify simultaneous inclusion of asexual people in general and aromantic people in general, you should use the flag for asexual people in general side-by-side with the flag for aromantic people in general? because the purple ace flag represents all aces, and the green aro flag represents all aros. the blue/orange aroace flag is great, but it represents aroaces, not everyone who is aro or ace. (and hell, even some aroaces like me prefer the individual aro and ace flags more, whether because we see our aro and ace identities as distinct, or because we just prefer green and purple.) if you're creating a space meant for aros and aces, if you're making a post about aro characters and ace characters, you need to include more than the aroace flag — you need the aro flag and ace flag individually. you can certainly throw in the aroace flag, because it serves a wonderful purpose for the aroaces who choose to use it, but you should include aroallo and alloace flags too. the aroace flag doesn't represent all aros and aces automatically.
