I just want this to be out there just in case. Lately Iāve seen people get upset over the phrase āthere arnt any good representation of platonic relationshipsā and while I understand that this is usually related to how little lgbtq+ rep relationships are shown, especially good ones, I do want to let you know that there are arospec people (myself included) that are saying this and they mean it as āthereās really no aro rep and the few is usually shown as being a heartless being incapable of love.ā
Not only that but often times a lot of the people who Iāve seen complain about others saying āplatonic repā are usually aphobic or exclusionist in some way. Iām not sure if itās a complete dog whistle yet but all Iām saying is if you see someone complain about other people wanting āgood platonic repā than maybe check out their blog real quick and search their tags for things like ace, aro, asexual, aromantic, discourse, etc etc and just make sure that itās not coming from someone who could very well just be shitting on arospec people and arospec people who want some good rep as well. Thatās all
