foolishness to the nth degree

think i got an ask, buried in my inbox, prompting the idea of butch Grace which. aha. I was considering already drawing at some point but it gave me the boost to get it down. 😎👍butch Grace is real and true to me always.

sure , to my knowledge we're not directly focused on by homophobic groups ( thanks for the clarification @/plum-petunia !! ) . but society is still extremely against the mere existence of those who don't feel certain types of love .

i was venting to a friend about being aroace and she asked me " why don't you just not be aroace ? "

people say " aromantic / asexual / aroace people can still date !! " and then refuse to engage with the nuances of an ace/arospec relationship

so many people i've told about being aroace all say " well , you're not gonna be aroace forever , right ? "

hell being asexual didn't stop being considered a mental illness until 2013

the only representation of aro/aspec people in media are cold villains or are "innocent" and "pure" , and even THAT rep is taken away

romance is viewed as better than all else . every conversation is about romance . nothing sells without romance

people can't conceptualise a relationship with romance without sex . people can't conceptualise a relationship without romance with sex . people can't conceptualise having no desire for a relationship with romance or sex .

society doesn't treat us as people worthy of respect . people dont care enough to represent us properly .

Comm for the lovely @quidproquo.mwi !! This was such a fun one
