Y'all realize garlic bread started as an asexual symbol first right? The whole start of it was in reference to "garlic bread is better than sex" idk where the idea came about that it started as an aromantic symbol with "bad garlic breath saving you from kissing"???

Not saying garlic bread can't be a shared symbol but it's super weird to hear ppl claiming it was an aro only symbol and completely ignoring the roots it has as a symbol in the ace community??

#text #i say this as an aroace who has been in both communities #and didnt hear anything about garlic bread as an aro only symbol until recently #like i heard it being in ace and aroace circles #but just aro? it being just an aro symbol??? thats news to me and i've been in the community for so e time now #like aros can also use it as a symbol but to ignore the ace symbol origins seems kinda fucked 2 me #yall cant claim an ace symbol and then erase its ace roots that not how that works #ace #asexual #aro #aromantic #aroace #tbh i dont believe ppl mean malice its probably ppl being misinformed #but still it is bugging me to see an ace symbol erased as an ace symbol so readily amongst other aspecs
