“Reminder that aspecs can still date and love their friends and family” and themselves. And their hobbies, and their passion in life, and the media they consume and their pets and places they like to go and food and drinks they like and in fact they don’t have to subscribe to the idea of “love” at all. You don’t have to date or have friends or family to be a person. You don’t have to fit into what society wants your life to be like to not be a robot. When I complain about aphobes implying that people who don’t date are machines, I’m not just complaining that they devalue platonic or familial love. They’re devaluing the idea of being your own person and thats a type of aphobia people don’t talk about enough. Aspecs can do whatever they want forever and that includes everything.
Starting off small: friendship isn’t inherently romantic
Getting bigger: living together isn’t inherently romantic
Even bigger: going on dates isn’t inherently romantic
Getting larger again: kissing isn’t inherently romantic
Oh my god is this too big: having sex isn’t inherently romantic
Happy Aro Week!!! 💚🤍🩶🖤
Have this meme I made bc I REFUSE to believe that this is just me sksk—
an angel gains its wings every time someone realizes sex without romance is not inherently abusive
Hey. Hey, look me in the eyes. It's always okay to be aromantic. No "if"s or "but"s about it. No conditions. No "because aros can still love their friends" (hello, aplphobia and anti-loveless-sentiments), no "because aros can still be in relationships" (partnering aros are not a fucking cudgel to wield against non-partnering aros), no "because they're literally not doing anything" (I'm gonna do your mom and your dad if you don't shut your face), nothing. Being aro is literally fine, period. No matter what we feel or don't feel, no matter what we choose to do or not do, our aromanticism is never a problem to be fixed or mitigated, or a flaw we need to make up for.
Got it?
Being aromantic did in fact make me gayer in ways that are beyond comprehension
