I'm Aro, I'm Ace, and I'm a hot mess

You have no immediate family, no one you are close to, no one you call 'love', you dont even have a dog...

A man with nothing to lose and nothing holding him back is perfect for this suicide mission...

You have no immediate family, no one you are close to, no one you call 'love', you dont even have a dog...

you can just say “i’m aromantic/asexual/aplatonic/agender/afamilial/any other aspec identity”. you don’t have to add on the “but i still experience X type of love” or “but i can still have friends” or whatever, especially because there are people who don’t experience any type of attraction. i’m not saying those things can’t be true, i’m saying you don’t have to use them to make your identity seem more appealing in the eyes of allo people.

"It's okay to ship the aroace character bc aroace people can be in relationships :)"

"Why are you headcannoning them as aroace??? They're LITERALLY in a relationship 3:<"

These are often the same people btw

I mean yeah I guess I can see how that would be true if you just ignored people constantly denying the existence of our sexuality, the societal narrative of sex being the best thing ever and an absolute need to be fulfilled in life, the years of research dedicated to “curing” a lack of sexual attraction, asexuals being told there’s something wrong with them their whole lives, asexuals ending up in dangerous sexual situations because of compulsory sexuality, and all the stereotypes subjected onto us.

…

Another example (aside from the favorable/ambivalent/indifferent/averse/repulsed scale) would be microlabels. For example, someone who is demiromantic and demisexual might call themselves demi aroace, or demirose.

I absolutely adore the rose shorthand, it just sounds so pretty and rose flowers often represent romantic and sexual stuff. Like idk it just works so well together, and it flows nicely.

This idea that we somehow have more sex negative people in our spaces than anyone else is just wrong and guess what?? It's aphobic! You saw a post made by someone who was being an asshole and tried to hide behind sex repulsion to do it? That person is an asshole, not our entire community!

Quit talking down to the sex repulsed community because of a few shitty posts!

Sex negativity: thinking that sex is inherently bad/shameful/dirty for everyone

Sex repulsion: being personally disgusted by the idea of sex

Sex aversion: being personally disgusted by the idea of sex when it has to do with yourself

Guess what, I'm sometimes sex-repulsed and sometimes sex-averse! But I'm never sex-negative.

Have all the crazy sex you want! Just please do the things to be safe, get tested, use condoms/birth control/whatever and feel free to talk about it with anyone for whom that's not a violation of their boundaries!

All I request is: leave me out of it. Don't imply that sex is something I might ever be interested in, don't talk to me about your sex life, and do your best to tag any mentions of sex ("#sex mention") so I can just filter them out and we can coexist peacefully.
