Hello All,
I would like to inform you that this
Is the oriented aroace flag. For those who don’t know, I’m pan aroace.
I know it’s confusing to some people how somebody can be aroace but also have another orientation, so I’ll do my best to explain it.
So for this description I’m gonna first define some types of attraction. Platonic, you probably already know, it’s like friendship attraction. Aesthetic is the way you look at something pretty, like a sunset for instance, and queerplatonic, a subset of platonic, which is like wanting a very strong emotional bond with somebody, but one that isn’t romantic
Now that I’ve done some defining, let’s get to the explaining! The separate Special Orientation that some people use as well as aroace, is generally used to describe either aesthetic or qp attraction, or both. For instance, let’s say Theresa feels much stronger aesthetic attraction to girls, she might call herself a gay aroace, or an aroace lesbian.
Since we don’t get all the feelings we tend to notice the feelings we do have more, and we’ve created ways to categorize them.
Anyways that’s all, sorry for the long post, I’ve just seen a lot of people saying they don’t know what it is so I figured, hey, might as well do an explanation you know?
these birdies and i wish you all a happy pride month :’) 💗🏳️🌈
REMEMBER:
ACES AND AROS ARE VALID THIS MONTH, EVERY MONTH, AND FOR THE REST OF TIME ITSELF.
Saying ace and aro are the same thing is like saying brown hair and brown eyes are the same thing.
Yes, they have some similarities.
Yes, some people have both.
But they’re very, very different. Neither is a prerequisite to the other. Neither is an umbrella term for the other. People can have one without the other.
They are different things.
EXCUSE ME??? EVERYBODY??? PLEASE LISTEN TO OP THEY HAVE A VERY VERY VALID POINT
I dint even understand how you can even think they’re the same like how???
THANK YOU
ace ppl deserve better than the treatment this site decided to give them just cause tumblr decided they weren’t oppressed enough to be respected as people
Aro people deserve better than being treated like they don’t exist and for 70% of narratives abt ppl not experiencing romantic love to portray them as villainous or infantile
and whether or not you think they should be considered part of the lgbtq+ community, you don’t get the right to treat them without respect and harass them.
people on this site are seriously cruel to asexuals.
like. the amount of times i’ve seen shitty comments made at aces’ expense, the amount of times some asshole put “haha cringey acey post, this is why everyone hates asexuals” on my dash. it’s fucking disgusting. and look, i’m not even gonna talk about all the death threats, rape apologism, mislabelling, and all around nastiness that gets thrown at aces regularly in here.
it’s not just ace discourse either. unrelated posts still have snarky aphobic comments. how do you think that makes an ace person feel? how about the acceptable lgbt+ aces that are said to be so loved but are always fucked over as well, do you think we feel welcomed? do you think we feel “valid”?
we can’t breathe without being called cringy homophobic people who are wastes of space. everything we say or do or create is used against us, everything is twisted to make us seem problematic (take the ‘aspec is an autistic term aceys stole because they’re evil’ lie as an example)
but we’re not allowed to complain or say ‘hey this is fucked up’. because some bigots decided our pain didn’t matter and the people on this hellsite believed them.
and when we ask ‘do you support aces?’ the answer is 'i don’t want to get into discourse.’ is that all we are? discourse topics? fuck off.
y'all seriously need to do better. instead of reblogging those hilarioooous posts about how much ace people suck, maybe be an ally for once?? maybe don’t be a total asshole to someone because of their orientation??????
Follow them on twitter!
Hey everyone! In case you didn’t know, this person runs a journal just for ace creators! Definitely check it out and consider submitting, and perhaps your content will get published as well!
I think the reason so many ignorant people think heretoromantic aces and heterosexual aros are “straight” is because they see our asexuality, our aromanticism, as a weird “neutral” rather than an orientation, as a recessive gene that gets overwritten by the attraction we do feel. They are wrong. My asexuality colors so many of my thoughts, and in our romance saturated culture, I’m sure aromanticism does the same for aromantics. It is not an odd quirk for an otherwise straight person. It is a different facet of being queer, and anyone who wishes to identify with that word should not be pushed away.
If you’re not ace/aro and you’re an exclusionist, I don’t trust you.
I don’t trust that you’ll support my need for ace resources in LGBTQ+ spaces.
I don’t trust that you’ll respect how my ace-ness impacts my life just as much as my bi-ness.
I don’t trust that you’ll listen when I talk about the legitimate harm that aphobia has caused me.
I don’t trust that you truly care about ace/aro issues.
I don’t trust that you realize we, as aces/aros, know more about ace/aro issues and experiences than you ever will.
Why don’t I trust you?
Because the basis of this exclusionary movement has always been to separate asexuality and aromanticism from the LGBTQ+ community, and it’s not just the “cishet” aces/aros that are affected by that. My asexuality cannot be separated from my bi orientation, my LGBTQ+ identity, or my life experiences.
You cannot know what it’s like to be ace/aro. You cannot decide what issues we do or do not face. Exclusion is not protection, and it does not protect me.
Hey guess what
The ace person reading this is amazing
the ghost said it, respect aces or you’ll be haunted
Finally I contribute to the aro culture version of fine art; bitter memes
[Image: the “is this a pigeon meme,” but the guy is labeled “alloros,” the butterfly is labeled “headcanoning a character as aro” and the guy is asking “is this angst fuel for another character that has a crush?” End description.]
I see this and I raise you:
[Image: the ‘Is this a pigeon?’ meme, where a guy points at a butterfly and asks that question, but the guy is labeled ‘alloros’, the butterfly ‘an aro headcanon’, and the question is changed to ‘Is this a character who only exists to comment on the main romance?’. End description.]
