“Ace people can still have sex! Aro people can still date!” SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP
Forcing aro and ace people into amatonormative relationships is NOT the woke take you think it is you aphobic pieces of shit. And yes, I know what y’all in fandom are doing with your favorite aro/ace characters. I know damn well that when you ship an aro character with an allo character you’re not putting them in QPRs, you’re not writing that relationship within the lens of the aro character’s identity. You’re just reassuring yourself because “oh thank god, aro/ace people can still date, they can still have sex, they’re normal!!”
WELL GUESS WHAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT. NO WE’RE NOT FUCKING NORMAL. WE GET SHAMED BY OUR PEERS, BY OUR FAMILIES, BY OUR CLOSEST CIRCLES BECAUSE “OH YOU JUST HAVEN’T FOUND THE RIGHT ONE YET”. WE GET DRUGGED AND TORTURED BY PSYCHOLOGISTS BECAUSE ACE AND ARO PEOPLE STILL GET SENT TO CONVERSION THERAPY EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE. WE GET RAPED EVERY FUCKING YEAR BECAUSE OF OUR IDENTITIES.
Society thinks we’re sad little freaks who need correction because we don’t fit into the patriarcal, heteronormative norm. You’re no better than the people who discriminate against us for our identities when you tell aro and ace people that they should still date and have sex. Fuck you.
