#i am so unbelievably hacked off that this amatonormative and arophobic bullshit has happened in Two Separate Fandoms for me now

[adlamu]

no but i am genuinely so hacked off at the idea that people are waging whole wars against homophobes in that fandom (yeah somehow that's a thing) but every second tweet is just arophobic, amatonormative bullshit and as an aromantic guy i am Fully sick of it.

i am not generally queer because i'm aroallo instead of aroace. i wouldn't be generally queer even if i was. you take away the point of seeing that representation when you reduce Every Single arospec character to generally queer. it's not a generally queer lens, it's an arospec one.

swear down ya'll forget aros fckin exist at all because some of us aren't the Ew Icky Love I Don't Understand Love Groooosss Love kind or the aroace kind. the repulsion is toward romance - not the concept of love - and the lack of attraction is lack of romantic attraction, we can Have other kinds of attraction. we Know what love is and how it feels to love and to Be loved.
