#arophobia ment

I was browsing your carrd, and I was wondering what was bad about queeragamic? (I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, im wholeheartedly not indending to be)

this blog has a ton of posts explaining the problem - basically, the coining post was alloarophobic, and when alloaros (and aros in general) criticized the coiner's attitudes towards sexual qprs, they continued to make (allo)arophobic remarks.

i don't think the concept behind the term is bad. 'queerplatonic relationship' covers a ton of experiences, and i think having subsets of that term is totally fine! it's just that the way it was coined was super shitty.

I'm out of the loop, what's going on with xeno-aligned?

they're arophobic, particularly alloarophobic. they think 'aspec' stands for 'asexual spectrum' and that it's okay to lump aromantic folks (as well as other a- orientations that aren't asexual, such as aplatonic) under asexuality. here's a tag with posts by them and posts explaining the problem if you're curious.

of all the times for people to be making statements that aren’t outright aro or acephobic but just give you a Bad Vibe........
