“Well this character is in a relationship” they could be alloromatic asexual

“Well this character has canonically had sex!” They could be sex favorable and do it for pleasure, for their partner, etc

“Well they’ve shown sexual attraction before!” They could be graysexual or demisexual. Ace is a spectrum after all

The same could be said for a lot of aro headcanons as well!

“The character is in a relationship” they could be grayromatic or demiromatic! Aromantics can still have relationships!

“They’ve shown the desire to be in a romantic relationship” again, aromantic people can still like romance! They could be cupiormantic or just an aromantic who likes the idea of romance, even if they themselves don’t have those feelings for a specific person.

“Well they’ve had se-“ shhhh aromantic allosexuals exist and are valid as fuck.

One thing I noticed that I haven’t seen anyone else point out is a connection between Bill possessing Ford and Bill specifically giving Ford physical injuries to his hands

These are all things I’ve seen said recently about ace or aro people. Many of these come from Yasmin Beniots Instagram account.

- people still believe that being aro or ace is equivalent to being a sociopath

-Still considered a medical disorder in many places

-In many places it is not legally recognized as a romantic or sexual orientation, meaning it can be harder to charge aphobia fueled hate crimes as hate crimes and conversion therapy for asexuals isn’t recognized as a form of conversion therapy

-the idea that an ace or aro person can be “fixed” by someone is still very prevalent

-ace and aro people are still called groomers (just look at some of the responses to Jaden animations coming out)

-people still believe it just straight up doesn’t exist

-religion is used to look down upon us as “our purpose in life is to get married and reproduce”

-people believe that we’re making it up because we “have no game/cant pull”

-the idea that aroallo people are predators or other things along those lines (especially towards aroallo men)

-people still believe that heteroromantic asexuals and aromantic heterosexuals are “just straight”

-people still believe that asexuality and aromantism are the same thing and erase the identities of aroallos and alloaces

-(Cw// transphobia) and one of the wildest theories I’ve seen popping up lately, which I literally can’t even put into words so I’ll just put a comment from Yasmin Benoit that an aphobe left: “After 9 years of pushing ‘affirmative care’ Stonewall needs a way of explaining young people who have no libido and cannot function sexually” or another comment which says “Frankenstein gender medicine damages or destroys sexual function. That’s why asexuality needs to be normalized 🚩”. Essentially they’re saying that transitioning ruins one’s ability to be sexual and that asexuality was an excuse made up to hide that.

Glitch wtf are you implying here???😭
