It's kinda difficult to navigate in both aro & aplatonic spaces. Cause one side keeps praising platonic relationships like they're the most flawless & greatest experience, and claiming there's no line between romantic & platonic attraction.. But then there's the Aplatonic one; where basically some people excuse alloros abandoning & replacing their friends for a partner.
I legitimately saw a post where someone called friendships as driveless, and that people who got betrayed by their alloro friends as ridiculous, cause all romantic relationships are deep & serious?..
Like sure, that's why majority of allos describe them as "living with someone by your side, and doing ocassional intimate quests", even if half of them are with someone just not to be alone, sound faker than those people who constantly preach how good & amazing they are, think they're better than everyone just cause they date, etc etc.
All of these descriptions just confirm they're just extra friendships, and you can't convince me otherwise..
Except actual friendships won't make you constantly brag about this one mf so much they become your entire personality (no matter how gross or shitty they may be.. It's even more of a redflag if they barely know the other person), screw over everyone, cause they suddenly stop being a part of your life, and other bs.
Like I'm mostly plato-neutral that often turns into a repulsion, but I still don't like when people are trying to excuse replacement & the uncertain stance of friendship in society that will criticize you if you don't have them, but if you put them on a higher level, then it's suddenly wrong, and it's of course always okay to get banished by this one mf.
