I'm using this as a reaction pic now btw
Every time I check my notifications on this awful website it's just this star rail screenshot with various "me" and "[character]" tags. refusal to smash things with a bat will haunt me forever I fear
i'm sorry this was just too funny not draw in the context of the manga
they want us to all hate each other and everyone falls for it every time

i feel like i say this a lot but genuinely i do think aspecs in fandom should be allowed to kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and ki
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.
thinking about this further, people often cite this as a sort of See It's Better To Be Married and mostly accept it as a fact that being married is better for you overall and proceed to breakdown why marriage leads to longer lives. Instead I think we need to be looking at why the system is failing single people and what we could do to close that gap. What structural societal changes can we make to help single people rather than treat it as a Well Obviously foregone conclusion that everyone will eventually pair up.
It's not Why Are Married People Healthier? It's Why Aren't Single People as Healthy? And then actually examine the causes rather than hand waving it away with whichever stereotype of being single or half remembered memory of the last time you were single in your early 20s.

“It gets erased in so many stories—”
SHOW ME
SHOW ME THE STORIES
WJERE ARE THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF STORIES THAT DONT HAVE ROMANCE—
I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.
We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.
There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:
A single income isn't enough to get by anymore
Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system
Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly
Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.
So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.
When I had my hysterectomy earlier this year, the hardest part by far was selecting a person to be the designated driver/person the surgeon connects with while you're still unconscious. I didn't have family in the area and it felt like such a huge imposition on friends. My mother remarked that this is why you need to have a partner and I just... I get so frustrated that the expectation feels like it comes across like "you have to trade access to your body and mind and emotions in order to be allowed to access basic healthcare."
Yeah, that's not how allos means it (or is it? kind of?) but as one who just... doesn't want marriage, doesn't want a relationship, and enjoys the hermit spinster life, I get so tired of having to navigate the world that is designed for all these allonormative ways of living.
And yes, in the end I did find someone to help. And yes, I understand why you need help when you're dealing with sedatives and surgeries. Still a disproportionate burden being put on people to coordinate it.

Something something qifrey stands like a mum
all i'm saying is that if the only lens you can enjoy a story or a character dynamic through is romance and shipping, then well. your media analysis skills are just kinda shit actually. and i'm not sorry for saying it. you're missing the point of the story in question and removing the things that make it unique by shoving everything into boxes. not everything goes in the square hole.
similarly to how you should never trust gamers with a nonbinary character i feel like you can also never trust a fandom with an aroace character. whether it's explicitly canon or implied it just ends up the same
