#allo discourse

[achillescourse]

no offense i don’t think i’ve ever heard an exclusionist call allo a slur. it’s always inclusionists (who clearly conflate “insult” and “slur” all the time (especially when referring to gay people), but that’s Besides the point)

legit???? its not a slur its just a shitty term to use agfkdhskjds why are ppl so dumb

like duh its not a slur but they was its currently used is homophobic. no two ways abt it

[partyonmoon]

hey guys can i get your thoughts on the term allosexual

curious as to what my followers think

[ewoksnotdiscourse]

Allo isn’t a bad word, and you aren’t bad for being allo.

There’s no such thing as allo privilege. Aphobia is a facet of heterosexism, and only those who aren’t marginalized under heterosexism, namely Straight people, have privilege along that axis.

Allosexual and Alloromantic do not describe an oppressor class, and do not refer to a privileged group. Experiencing sexual or romantic attraction is not a bad thing, and they don’t make you a bad person.

Just a reminder that allo isn't a slur, but if anyone ever uses it like one I'll fucking fight them, that shit ain't cool.

[mostlyvoidd-partiallystarss]

Can someone explain to me why allosexual is a bad and homophobic word??? Like looking for genuine education here because I thought it just ment someone who wasn't ace?

[achillescourse]

the reason why allosexual is literally the dumbest term is bc its not useful or describes anything with a real life impact

when gay ppl complain abt straight ppl,its bc all straight ppl have power and privilege over us

when ace ppl complain abt allos, its puts straight ppl with lgb people which is gross and also innacurate bc gay people are not privileged over ace ppl bc they have sexual attraction but are in fact demonized

most importantly. being ''allo'' does not a cohesive socially powerful group make

[valkylander]

If allo means 'anyone who feels sexual attraction', gay asexuals, demisexuals and the entire asexual spectrum outside of asexuals themselves are allosexual.

Good thing I've been real clear that allo does not mean "anyone who experiences sexual attraction" and instead means "not a-spec," then eh?

[fuckasexies]

but seriously, using the term “allo” to group The Gays with cishets is really harmful when you think about the fact that cishets have always targeted us for the people we have sex with. if you’re ace and you really think you are missing out on certain privileges for the fact that you are ace, i strongly recommend that you take sometime off this garbage site or just the internet in general.
