Very telling how whenever an aromantic person says "can't two characters just be friends without the writers making them a couple or the fandom automatically shipping them" everyone assumes they're talking about two men (obligatory mention of fandom being male centric) when most of the time it's a male and a female character who inevitably get a shoehorned romance plot when they'd be much more interesting as friends. But sure anything to circle back to "aromantic/asexual people are homophobic" welcome back to 2016

I understand that, for people who grew up ostracized and found themselves on the internet where they had authentic experiences that are perceived as inauthentic by virtue of being on the internet, Typing Quirks and the microcultures surrounding them can be a meaningful mode of self-expression, and I also understand that, especially for people who communicate primarily through the internet, they can replicate the pitch, timbre, tone and prosody that identifies us in our spoken speech (and from what I understand the specific web media from which many emerged used them to this end)... but please for the love of god can people stop using them so much especially in serious political posts they make it so hard to read if you have dyslexia or other language processing issues and are also very inconvenient to the many invisiblized people on the internet who do not speak English as a first language already performing a lot of labor by engaging with these spaces nearly exclusively in it.
