This is a satire blog

This blog is dedicated to pointing out and criticizing aro antagonism by way of aiming the same attacks at alloromantics or at marginalized groups other than aros to illustrate how harmful the rhetoric in question is. It is also going to feature criticisms of amatonormativity, sex negativity and respectability politics. Please note that unless otherwise specified, none of the opinions expressed on this blog are genuine.

oh no

[sarocasm]

It gets kinda tiring, constantly seeing general aro experiences called "aroace experiences", as though aroaces were the only ones to experience them or – more likely – as though aroaces were the only aros

[aromantic-journal]

My relationship is the opposite of "aromantic meets The Right Person and falls in love" my partner is alloromantic but loves me so much that he cannot fall in love with me and romance is basically irrelevant to him now. I met the right person and he's basically an honorary aromantic now

[aromantic-journal]

You're not "alloromantic" you just haven't met the right aro person with whom you will redefine the meaning of love

[blkaroculture]

Black aro culture is deadass wanting to talk to allos like they talk to us

“Are you sure you want a partner? and kids? how will you have peace and quiet? don’t you want peace and quiet? everyone wants peace and quiet 🥺”

then it’s offensive when we do it towards them…

[transmoobs]

no its just that vaginas without bottom growth are so gross to me ... like, why would anyone want that? isn't it uncomfortable? doesn't it make sex weird to have the clit so small? i just think it's really weird and would be genuinely disgusted by myself if i had no bottom growth... anyways that's just my opinion

[sarocasm]

So your "aces and aros" group only consists of alloaces and aroaces? That doesn't really sound like the right place for me, then.

Oh, no, my bad, you're totally right that it won't change unless somebody's the first alloaro and it might as well be me. Haha no, it was really silly of me to not want to be the vanguard for once. Of course I must be okay with being the only alloaro in the group and getting all the weird looks and questions. What was I even thinking, that I don't want to always have to be the one to speak up and point out how something alienates or even excludes non-ace aros? Perish the thought. Obviously that's forever my duty and I should be glad you've reminded me of that.

Oh btw your group chat's icon is a dragon on an ace of spades with the ace flag colours in the background. No, it's fine, I'm feeling super welcome here 🙃

LOVE when affectionate friendships are treated as a joke!!! as a "haha and they were roommates!" thing!!! fucking LOVE when my post about affectionate friendships is tagged with ship tags!!! fucking LOVE that people will never see my love and sex as what it is!!! that it will always be either fake or romantic when it's neither!!! so LOVELY!!!

[sadcabbages]

are you SURE he's "just" your boyfriend? Sounds pretty platonic to me.......

[maidthings]

i don't really like saying "they/them" it sounds too dehumanizing. can i use "it/its" instead

[gazazabad]

Allonormative relationships can be just as beautiful as normal relationships!!! Allos can STILL be relatable to aspec people, so it's valid. Theyre not all super different like that, so we can accept them <2

[spaceworldlypleasures]

I don’t want to headcanon Alastor as alloromantic. It just ruins my fun.

Besides, it’s so much more interesting when he isn’t being placed in stupid romantic relationships, isn’t it? I mean, any ship would just get in the way of him being aroace, and that’s just a travesty, quite frankly.

Besides, the shippers are SO annoying about their insistence to see even more allos than you already have. Chaggie and Huskerdust are right there, and that’s just in Hazbin, why do you need another allo?

Allo storylines are boring, anyway. It’s always the same pining, at least aroace narratives have ✨ Flavour ✨

[normystical]

ohhh... you have sex with your romantic partner...? you know thats something you can only do with friends and hookups right...? nonono im not judging! but maybe you just dont realize you want something... MORE from them? something more... PLATONIC? oh yeahhh nooo i TOTALLY believe you!!! just dont come crying to me when things get messy...

[i-suggest-aro]

cool aspec safe space, hey btw just checking, are aroallos allowed to talk about their experiences openly in here or will you cry and throw up and run away

[i-suggest-aro]

cool aspec safe space, is your idea of aspec humor just "sex bad" btw? just checking aha

[i-suggest-aro]

cool aspec safe space, i noticed you were selling merch too! wow, that's a great variety of acespec flags you got there, where are all the arospec ones btw? frayromantic, demiromantic, aroflux? aroallo? where are they? you have the asexual counterparts. where are they

[i-suggest-aro]

cool aspec safe space, why are all the books about asexuality? why does every "meme" or "joke" told rely entirely on the audience being asexual? why does everybody here freak out when i say i'm not asexual? hey. hey cool aspec safe space. is it safe for me too

[aromanticofficial]

can a minor identify as aroallo or is that wrong

no, nobody feels sexual attraction until the arbitrary age at which their government decides a citizen is old enough to make their own medical and financial decisions

[loveless-arobee]

I do not understand why, when I talk about sexual relationships or wanting to have non-romantic sex in general, people feel the need to respond with stuff like "as long as you don’t lead people on / trick them, you’re fine", "as long as you’re open about what you want, it’s okay", or even "as long as you don’t force people to have sex with you, you’re fine."

No one would respond to a person talking about wanting a romantic relationship with "well as long you don’t abuse your partner, you’re fine" because no one would just immediately jump to that assumption.

But hearing me talk about sexual relationships and immediately thinking I might want to trick and abuse, even rape people, and need to be reminded that that is wrong, is somehow seen as normal? Why?

Just. Maybe don’t say stuff like that? Of course everything said is true. I’m aware raping people is wrong, I don’t need to be constantly reminded of the fact that people see me as a rapist-in-waiting for being AroAllo, or as a whore who leads the poor alloros who just want to have a romantic relationship on and tricks them into having non-romantic sex with me (because obviously no one would have sex with me if I were open about my intentions).

Why do people feel the need to say these things every time sex (and especially non-romantic sex) is mentioned? Why do people assume the worst possible things, to then say "well as long as you’re not a horrible piece of shit, you’re fine ig"?

Or am I just reading too much into it? Am I overreacting?

omg cute couples post! tbh the monogamy thing would never work for me or my partner but this is cute. honestly monogamy is just like NOT something i could ever do but that's great. i hope you're both happy! personally because of MY boundaries i'd cave my own fucking skull in before trying monogamy but that's sooooo cute for you different strokes for different folks ❤️ i mean i've just had such bad experiences with monogamy that the idea disgusts and upsets me but it's so great that you only fuck each other i think that's beautiful, love is love ❤️ your relationship is just as valid as a poly one even if it upsets and frightens me, i'm glad you're somehow able to feel loved like that ❤️

Please note that I took most of my information from online, and I didn't personally read/ watch everything, so there may be some mistakes. Also, some of the not-canon characters are very likely aspec, but just not confirmed. And especially if they say/ do really obviously aro/ ace stuff, I wasn't sure if it's enough to put them in the "confirmed" category. (e.g. Saiki literally said he isn't attracted to anyone regardless of gender, and never wants to be in a relationship. But there are still people who doubt his aroace-ness. (And at this point I don't see how it could be anything but aphobia, to deny the mere possibility of him being aroace so vehemently lol.) ) Also: Sadly, I couldn't find good aro-allo characters except Claire/ Claude from "baker thief". There is tons of good a-spec representation in that book (also more side characters that I didn't mention here), but I couldn't really find any fan-art. So then I just slapped the entire book cover on the collage.
