#aromaticism

Aspec representation is important because somewhere in the world there’s a 12 year old crying because they feel broken

Aspec representation is important because I still get told “that’s not real” when I come out

Aspec representation is important because people still think the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally

Aspec representation is important because everyone deserves to see someone like them on screen

Aspec representation is important because people still think that asexual and aromantic are the same thing

"You dont actually care about anything on earth because you dont date" despite him caring for his class deeply yet it being pushed off by everyone

"You should sacrifice yourself because you dont have a romantic partner" yet he has many people around him he cares deeply for but people won't see him as successful unless he falls in line

Even though most of the team on earth talked about how much he had no one to care for he still sent off his crew with care despite not remembering any of them

*note: i know not all aro people are ace and vice versa, but the experiences tend to be similar so ive lumped em together (and im aroace)

"you'll get over it"

"true love will find you some day"

"but what if somebody asks you out and they're really cute?"

"you'll change your mind"

"love/sex is a part of life, you need it"

"I bet I can change that"

"but what if you want kids someday/decide you want to get married?"

"you're too attractive to be aro/ace/aroace"

"men need women around the house" or "women need men around the house"

After a brief sexuality crisis, the aroace has remained firm in their identity while renewing their aesthetic appreciation of titties.

and then seeing romantic/sexual themes in films and being so repulsed and you immediately go "oooh, that's right, I'm just comfortable with him"
