Carnival of Aros June 2023 Call For Action - Being aromantic in an allonormative world
I hope you're all interested in this month's Carnival of Aros' topic.
The topic we that was chosen is... [drumrolls please]
Being aromantic in an allonormative world!
What does "allonormative" mean? You might have guessed it, it means "the assumption that everyone is allo (-romantic or -sexual)".
You can write about anything that relates to your experiences or opinions with allonormativity. You can find allonormativity almost everywhere you look, and I want how everyone feels about it and their experiences going through it. Do you find it acceptable, or do you hate it?
Some prompts/ideas if you need them:
How do you feel about the overromantisation in media (like movies and TV shows)? How do you feel about seeing too much romance in entertainment, especially when the piece isn't advertised as a "romance" piece?
How does the pressure to conform to romantic ideals affect people's self-perception, relationships with others, and overall well-being?
How does allonormativity influence the meaning of love and relationships in society? Have you been 'accused' of being a [romantic] relationship with someone because you showed too much affection or got 'too close to them to just be friends'?
How do laws affect aromantisism? Do you think non-romantic relationships should have some of the legal benefits romantic (married) couples get?
Of course, you can write about anything and it doesn't have to be related to these prompts, as long as it follows the general theme of allonormativity.
The deadline is ~June 30th. Please submit your writing before then, but sending it in a couple of days later is acceptable!
You can send in your writing by either reblogging this post with your writing, emailing me at [email protected] or using this Google form (https://forms.gle/M38Lo6C1D9pqtew67).
