Please for the love of everything can perisex people STOP tagging the intersex tag for no reason other than those dumb ass "what flag did you get when you liked" posts YOU ARE CLOGGING AND SPAMMING THE TAG.

If your post is not explicitly about intersexuality or intersex people please just stop. It is one of the much smaller pride tags and it's already hard to find actual posts about our experiences with so many people tagging fanfiction and fanart with it. It is not that hard.

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

Writing about a quaromantic character that feels exteramo attraction to their acquaintance as an outlet for your own experiences means having to deal with the rigid relationship tags of ao3.

"&" or "/"

"platonic" or "romantic"

"&" and "/"

"platonic" and "romantic"

I cannot apply either "&" or "/" because they do not describe their dynamic. I cannot apply both "&" and "/" because, as mentioned, they do not describe their dynamic. No, their attraction is not platonic, nor is it romantic. Their attraction does not exist between the two, nor does it fall anywhere on the spectrum; it exists outside of it entirely.

Yes, relationship tags are not required, but I want my work to reach someone outside of my circle. Clarifying in additional tags is paramount, yes, that is its purpose, but I'm arguing that writers on the aromatic spectrum shouldn't feel the need to clarify. We are not "different" or "special". Our perspective of attraction is not some deranged, mutilated perspective undeserving of acknowledgment. Yes, for some, their identity being "additional" may be comforting as it's equivalent to a safe space, and I get that! Don't get me wrong, but for every person grateful of the platonic/romantic binary tagging system there's hundreds on the arospec deep in the abyss of shame.

This is amatonormativity. There needs to be more popularized nonrose relationship tags on Ao3. At most I see queerplatonic and alterous being tagged, but there really needs to also be a tag for complex dynamics that do not fit into even that, either.

I have never, and will never, use "ofc" to mean "of fucking course". It literally stands for OF Course...

The concept that married people live longer is interesting. I'm sure there is some merit to the idea that if you're married there is someone there to nag you about going to the doctor, but I think much larger factors are having the finances of dual incomes and access to an immediate support person.

Surgeries require having a designated person to look after you. Many injuries require driving to somewhere like an emergency room which can be hard to do if you are the one injured. If you're home with the flu, it's hard to tell when it's bad enough to go to the hospital without another person checking on you. And if you pass out it requires another person to find you like that to get medical aid.

You can prop it up as the benefits of marriage, but I think there's a much deeper discussion to be had about how we've built society around marriage as an inevitable conclusion and neglected to build support systems that function outside of romantic pairings.

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace

Seeing people who full-chest talk about how transmasculine people need to be decentered in feminism is genuinely ??? "Let women be feminine" levels of online. You can't decenter a group that has never been centered, and the worst part is, you're telling everybody that continued transmasculine erasure is praxis. Rather than organizing around social forces of oppression, you're explicitly abandoning one of the most vulnerable groups to patriarchal violence.

youtubers should do reverse sponsorships. just interrupt the narrative of the video to shit-talk some random company for 1-2 minutes.

Aro culture is hating the "we can still love" framing that is rather persistent throughout the aspec community. Why are we framing our lack of certain forms of attraction as a deficit we need to "make up for" by loving in other ways? I'm a big enjoyer of platonic love but my relationships with others shouldn't be a substitute for the kind of love expected of me by society. And what about people who don't identify with the idea of "love" because of its romantic connotations? Are they not wonderful people with lives that are important outside of their connections with others? Idk it kinda rubs me the wrong way personally
