arospec awareness week day 3: awareness

@aromantic-official prompt: what do you wish people knew about being arospec? make/design a sign with an arrow + a message

this includes greyros, romo aros, alloaros, aroaces, lesser known labels and every other arospec!!

[image description: six rectangular banners with chevron-cut edges bearing five horizontal stripes. Black text outlined with grey, placed atop the stripes, reads “Some Aros Are” in a handdrawn type followed by six ways of being aromantic or accompanying identities that shapes one’s aromanticism: abroromantic, allosexual, aroflux, greyromantic, grayromantic and recipromantic. The flag for each banner matches the listed identity and the identity terms are written in a block novelty type.]

Banners: Some Aros Are, Part One

I made a banner on my @alloaroworlds​​ blog with the text “some aros are allosexual” as a response to the tired phrase “not all aros are asexual”.

(I’ll stress that this does not include all non-asexual aros and should not be used in reference to all, but when referring to allo-aros or in the context of being allo-aro, I find this preferable. And we have got to lose the “not all aros are asexual” line, given how it continues to centre asexuality as the default.)

It occurred to me that this sense of some aros are (in opposition to the more usual not all aros are) applies to many different ways of being aromantic, particularly in the context of reminding the community that everyone under the aromantic umbrella is entitled to use the word “aro”. So I made more banners.

Original files are available for download from my Aro Arrows website or my Patreon (links in description) and are free for personal use.

Some reminders.

Made this lovely lil banner for all my arospecs because I'm p sure we're all sick and tired of alloromantics bringing their filth onto our posts

Grayromantic isn’t practically alloromantic.
