#aroflux and aceflux

[aroworlds]

[image description: three pixel art text banners of the word "aroace" in a blockish, pixel-style text, coloured in three different three or five stripe aromantic and asexual pride flags. Identities: aroflux (pink to green gradient) and aceflux (red to purple gradient), initia/inactromantic (black/light grey/lime green/dark pink/dark grey) and initia/inactsexual (black/light grey/purple/red/dark grey), partfictoromantic (dark grey/dark green/grey/green/dark grey with grey-outlined pink circle) and partfictosexual (dark grey/dark purple/grey/purple/dark grey with grey-outlined pink circle).

For each banner set,  “aro” is coloured in the corresponding aromantic spectrum flag and “ace” in the corresponding asexual spectrum flag. Banners are shown in two versions: one on a black background with a white frame, the other with a transparent background.]

I wish some aces would stop excluding other aces with complex sexual experiences. like I get why but you have to realize that being ace does not mean they don't enjoy sexual experiences and it's weird when you complain about allo people and boil it down to "people who have sexual experiences" and also shame people for their sex life and kinks as if your own community doesnt INCLUDE those people. because there are other aces out there who still masturbate, who feel sexually attracted to their own body, who barely experiences sexual attraction but still enjoys sex, who like consuming sexual media, who like sfw kink. being ace is so so much more complex than just "disliking sex". and also aromantic exclusionism in the same genre of posts is something i see a lot. especially aro allos. I hate hate hate seeing a community that SHOULD be inclusive boil down sexuality and exclude people.

I remember the days of ace/aro exclusionist discourse very well.

The main fuel seemed to be screenshots of kids on Tumblr saying ignorant things about Lgbtq people and history.

Like, they're kids. Of course they don't know any LGBTQ history. They were born 5 minutes ago. We get it, you hate kids.

These two images angered exclus the most. They would say "these don't mean you're lgbt, because it says straight too!".

I'm sorry, did you forget straight trans people are part of the community? Hell, transhets did a ton of ground work for the community to even be a thing and got little to no credit in return.

Also, I imagine (grain of salt) that it was to encourage possible cishetallo allies to consider that we're all people and we should come together.

Lmao I forgot to add this: aro, aces, nonbinary people, etc. have always been present in the community one way or another. So much Lgbtq history is lost, do you seriously think there wasn't a single aro/ace person that was marching with the other queer elders?

Anyway, I just wanted to waffle about exclus.

btw that "slippery slope" bullshit argument being used when talking about accepting asexual, aromantic & agender people into the queer community is the exact same logic that was applied to scare people out of accepting gay men in early 1900s america. it's a bad argument, you do not have to silence other queers so you can be heard. let us have a voice, too. thanks

Hopefully I find someone to be in a QPR with in college... if not i'm moving off the grid and living like mother nature intended

[cometmothman]

self indulging but:

Aroflux people are still Aromantic

Aceflux people are still Asexual

Aroaceflux people are still Aromantic and Asexual

Just because your asexuality and/or aromantisicim fluctuates doesn't mean you are "faking" or "lying." You are valid as HELL!!!!!!!

[jjkyaoi]

the idea of participating in romantic or sexual intimacy is great until i think about the idea of participating in romantic or sexual intimacy. and then it’s like. oh my god. u people do that ??

[why-am-i-always-hungruy]

I'M FUCKING ARO/ACEFLUX GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!

[twigstarpikachutroll22]

The thing about how when I tell people offline that I'm aroace they usually go "Oh, I didn't know that was a thing!" is like. It’s a good response, it’s good that the response I get generally isn’t outright aphobic, but it reminds me just how much they don't know. Like. The sheer range of the aro and ace spectrums and the experiences relating to attraction that I see people in those communities talk about, the amount of breaking down of attraction and relationships, the amount of discussion about ALLLLLLLLL the hecking nuance both of those can have, and like. So many people literally Do Not Know that even the words "aromantic" and "asexual" exist. And just "doesn't feel attraction" is the easiest and most basic thing here to understand. It’s the tip of the iceberg. It’s the tip of a really really freaking huge iceberg. And plenty of allos have a hard time wrapping their heads around even that, let alone all the many more identities and many many more kinds of experiences on these spectrums. So many people literally do not know that not feeling attraction the way they do is a thing. So many people, like, the VAST majority of the population, are entirely confined to this incredibly freaking limited ONE standard concept of how attraction and relationships can work that seems mandated for everycreature. So many people don't even know that anything outside of that exists. And SO MUCH outside of that can exist. It's some straight-up allegory of the cave junk.
