submission rules
If you do not follow these, your submission will be deleted. If you submit via an account, I will attempt to contact you for re-submission.
Submit via the ask box or submit tab. Anonymous and user submissions are allowed. Text only. If you'd like to modify / not submit it after sending, please dm @just-aro.
Begin each submission with the phrase “aro culture is”, or something more specific like disabled aro culture, demiro culture, or whatever you’d like.
Send only one submission per ask.
No discourse - We do this for fun, and that isn’t fun.
No vents. We want you to feel heard and understood, but vents are incredibly draining to moderate. If you or someone else is in crisis, look up your local crisis lines. I can't define 'venting' for you, but please consider that we don't know you, and tone is hard over the internet.
Don't send replies to other submissions (ie, someone said "aro culture is hating xyz thing", and you send "actually I like xyz thing"). Reblog the post or reply directly with your addition if you care that much about it, please. Y'all underestimate our queue and we have long since forgotten what you are replying to.
No bigotry. Exclusionism, ableism, racism, or anything of that like will get you a block. We reserve the right to exercise judgement and delete dubious submissions.
No “opposite gender/sex”. Look, nonbinary and intersex people are more important to us than that phrase ever will be.
Other Stuff:
you can send questions about being aro, though we would like to suggest checking out our tags #question (for general questions), #am-i-aro (for questions about if the asker is aromantic), and #advice (for aro-focused advice) first. Please be patient if you would like an individualized response to a situation.
submissions can be silly or serious. aromantic people are not a monolith, and your mileage may vary for each and every submission - know that even if you don't relate to many posts about your identity, that's okay. we don't relate to a lot of this either.
we will probably block you if you're rude about how "everyone can experience this, not just aros!" there are no "purely" aro experiences, and we hate to tell you, but we'd rather not just post increasingly niche definitions of aromanticism.
this is open for any aro-spec people (including questioning folks)! if you don’t see much for your particular aro identity here, feel free to send more :)
