Black Aro flags!

Aro, Aroallo, Demiro, and AroAce !

I’m gon make ace ones too, but this my aro blog it’ll be here: @rusababy, stay tuned for that!

“We need to build community!!” Y’all literally took “aro and ace are different!” sentiment and twisted it into online segregation…

[blkaroculture]

Controversial take but I think it’s such a disservice to the aro (also aspec at large but this aro focused) community that we focus on more representation rather dismantilin and healin deeply from amatonormativity as well as helpin others do the same. Cause that’s how you get discourse like “dont tag as ace!”, the “why do you headcannon (insert character) as aroace/ace when they’re just aro!” and the 100th “(insert aro identity) is valid!” post on my timeline. The current focus the community has right now feel so individualistic, focusin all on “see me! see me!” and not going into depth about the underlyin social concepts and structures hidden under our current world. It takes so much more than just “amatonormativity is when people thinks that romantic relationships are the most important!” girl this is aromanticism 101 we’s way past that now let’s move on please n ty

It’s also weird seeing this push for representation as an African American. My community is overrepresented to the max yet we is still one of the most discriminated against. Knowing how I’m treated despite being so represented makes me feel so weird seein any discourse here. Imma need yall to step back and ask yourself what is you actually fightin for? Fightin to be seen, or fightin to live life comfortably? I know nuance exist, but yall will this answer this at light speed and not even give the time of day for nuance to even form so imma ask again, do you want to be repped, or do you want to make your life easier?

If we never start dismantilin amatonormativity and actively help others in the aspec community do the same, whatever happens in fandom or on someone’s post at the end of the day mean nothin. And that’s on period.

There is no DNI or DNF for this blog, white people are allowed to follow and interact but keep in mind that whenever i post i will not be centering you.

Rules for submitting:

Keep posts focused on both black AND aro experiences, no one or the other.

No exclusively asexual asks, this an aro focused blog. Black aroace asks though is accepted.

Mentions of sex is allowed, just nothin too detailed but you know that alr.

No hateful asks or asks that try to ragebait.

My contribution for aro week, made a black aro culture blog. go crazy

Everyone’s blogs bein like a personal online diary to them is slightly a curse for the aro (and other aspec) community because someone will post a vent about they identity and then phrase it as “you guys need to stop doin ___!” like they talkin directly to the reader, so when it get turned to a community discussion many of the responses get real reactionary and pissy real quick. Lot’s of us vs them mentality, aro vs ace, aroallo vs aroace, aroace vs ace, alloallo vs aro, same shit different toilet.

Ain’t shit productive here. Y’all better crash out in them drafts and lock tf in when it’s post time! /hj

I feel like y’all forget just cause yall got the bad cause of individualism (no shade LOL) that dont mean there ain’t no people who gon see what you post. So the next time you get pissed at someone post, take some deep breaths till you feel calm then ask yourself, “why would they post somethin like this?” if you feel like engagin. If you don’t wanna engage, scroll on past.

Black aro culture is your family telling you to stay away from them boys and laughing to yourself because they don't know 🤭

”Don’t let no boy abuse you!” oop alr girl say less… 🤭

[blkaroculture]

Black girl aro culture is having your dad tell you: “Don't be talkin' to no boys” and slightly getting suspicious just from hearing a slightly masculine name, so your mind is like: “...does he know? 🤭”

(SPOILER ALERT: He doesn't.)

LMFAOOO why do black parents be like this then be surprised when we aro 😩 like i ain’t talkin to no boys just like u said i cain’t why you maddd 🤭
