Reminder that the whole point of Queerplatonic relationships is to be QUEER.
A *queering* of platonic relationships. As in non conventional. As in there are no rules. As in the whole assignment is to do whatever the fuck you want.
They aren’t exclusive to aspec people. They aren’t just a funky friendship. They aren’t just a romantic relationship without the kissing. Sometimes they DO kiss!!!! On the mouth!!!! Or have sex!! People are so ready to accept that aces and aros can still do sexual/romantic activities, but like. Why would that not include doing them with a QPR?????
The only thing that makes a specific relationship a QPR is the label itself. And that’s literally the only requirement. There’s lotsa funky queer relationships that aren’t labeled Queerplatonic just cuz those involved don’t wanna use the word.
Like how some bi or pan ppl chose their label because they liked the specific definitions some groups subscribe to for those words, and some just chose theirs because they like the flag colors better.
Hot take: Friends with benifits is a type of QPR actually. (Insert obligatory “not actually but kinda sorta. If you’re gay enough about it.”) Fight me.
