Special shoutout to all the queer, intersex, and trans het folks. Sorry for all the “it’s illegal to be straight this month” jokes you’ll have to endure. Y’all are still very much part of the community.

Shout out to all the homosexual aroallo folks, who are romance repulsed, but still want to have sex. No, you aren't "abusive". No, you don't "actually have internalised homophobia". You engage in the activity you find appealing, you shouldn't force yourself to loOoOoOove someone, just because some bitch told you that you should. No, that one movie and that one song weren't about you. If your partner agreed to this kind of relationships, but now they're unsatisfied and make it seem like they are the victim, it's them being a bad person.

Shout out to all the straight aroallo men, who are romance repulsed, but still want to have sex. No, you aren't "misogynistic" for loving to fuck a woman, but not loving her romantically, if you agreed on this type of relationships. It's them being misogynistic! Like, why the fuck to they think an adult woman deliberately agreeing on a specific type of relationship is not enough?

Shout out to all the straighr aroallo women, who are romance repulsed, but still want to have sex. No, you aren't "whores". And even if you are, that doesn't make you a bad person. No, you aren't "just afraid of men". You're fine.

Shout out to all the nonbinary aroallo people, who are romance repulsed, but still want to have sex. You are great. Idk what else to say. Don't listen to haters.

Shout out to all the romance repulsed but sex favorable people. We are normal, we are great, we are not broken. I love you guys

it’s actually so baffling me to me that when loveless aros express not wanting their identities to be defined by love ppl will literally whip out the most specific n strange tangents on ‘love’ that you’ve ever heard under like EVERY one of these posts. theres always at least one person going ‘ok but have u ever seen a bee pollinate a flower. have u ever smiled at an old lady on the street. do u not relish the smell of fresh horse shit in the countryside’ like. sorry but appreciating the general world around me isn’t what i’d personally call love and frankly i don’t think it’s what most alloros would either!!! it’s interesting how y’all are suddenly so insistent on expanding the definition of love when and ONLY aros question and/or reject it 🤨

"Are you head over heels" Yeah that's how standing works

as much as i may talk about friendship and queerplatonicism know this. i don't think there is any type of relationship that is inherently more meaningful than any other type. the solution to amatonormativity is not to put platonic relationships on a pedestal

[bookwyrminspiration]

starting a new fuck/marry/kill called aro/crack/attack where you take three characters and decide who you're making aromantic, whose egg you're cracking, and who you're doing grievous bodily harm

[aromanticsky]

“marriage is a legal document that protects you, you’ve gotta decouple it in your brain from romance and amatonormativity” the fact that marriage is a legal document that protects and privileges you (that, might I add, generally isn’t valid without romance+sex) is LITERALLY amatonormativity. A legal status that privileges people in monogamous long-term romantic-sexual relationships IS AMATONORMATIVITY. That is *what it was coined to talk about.*

[zemathememequeen]

The book in which the term amatonormativity was coined is literally called "minimising marriage". How are people saying marriage isn't amatonormative? It's literally why the term exists!

[peach-pot]

I think some of you people need to google amatonormativity… and like, think about it.

[peach-pot]

you can actually desire a traditional romantic relationship AND unpack amatonormative ideas within your mind and life. they are not mutually exclusive!

[aromantic-diaries]

Some aros reject the concept of love altogether and others redefine it for themselves. Neither of these is the wrong way to go about it. The wrong way to go about it is being an asshole.

[peach-pot]

conversations of amatonormativity and consent overlap a lot and should be discussed side by side more frequently. because when you live in a society that teaches you that you’re supposed to want sex and romance, that you may want to say no in the moment but you shouldn’t say no forever, any statements about consent get muddied. you cannot at once preach that consent is vital and “you can always say no” and also insist that people should give sex and romance a try, even when they express disinterest, telling them “eventually you’ll find the right person.”

[ladyofthebookcase]

hello allo person in a fandom. let’s play a game. in front of you are two characters. your challenge is to okay and you’ve already started shipping them. well the crusher machine is going to activate now goodbye.

[princessoftheturtles]

Ugh

Ok so I know like. The heteronormative thing is that like women want men, but like, they’re often not supposed to want men, you know? Like they’re supposed to be passive objects in their own sexuality. So whenever I see something telling women that it’s okay to like men or whatever and tumblr mocks it I’m like okay is this an It’s Okay To Be Straight moment or is this telling women that it’s okay and normal to have sexual desires

[glasspalacesstoneshop]

*gestures vaguely at booktok discourse* do you think we are normal about women’s sexuality towards men
