i've noticed that quite a lot of people are severely undereducated about aroace , aromantic , and asexual people , even allies and lgbtq people themselves

sure , to my knowledge we're not directly focused on by homophobic groups ( thanks for the clarification @/plum-petunia !! ) . but society is still extremely against the mere existence of those who don't feel certain types of love .

i was venting to a friend about being aroace and she asked me " why don't you just not be aroace ? "

people say " aromantic / asexual / aroace people can still date !! " and then refuse to engage with the nuances of an ace/arospec relationship

so many people i've told about being aroace all say " well , you're not gonna be aroace forever , right ? "

hell being asexual didn't stop being considered a mental illness until 2013

the only representation of aro/aspec people in media are cold villains or are "innocent" and "pure" , and even THAT rep is taken away

romance is viewed as better than all else . every conversation is about romance . nothing sells without romance

people can't conceptualise a relationship with romance without sex . people can't conceptualise a relationship without romance with sex . people can't conceptualise having no desire for a relationship with romance or sex .

society doesn't treat us as people worthy of respect . people dont care enough to represent us properly .

amatonormativity , aphobia , and arophobia are everywhere once you notice it

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
