[stupidrant]

let me just say if you dont like the fact I talk about angrboda’s/atreboda’s mistreatment or wouldnt like to hear any other fans old or new, stating their own experiences about it, thats fine but im not forcing you to stay here. I also dont promote harassment or cult-like mindsets and have even discouraged that, you all have your own mind. I am here for angrboda/atreboda and thats just me. I wouldnt be saying anything if none of this didnt happen at all and unfortunately, there is a constant pattern to address.

something about the tiktok ban that i haven't really seen people here talking about is the experience of tiktok users not from the usa, which was, as far as i can tell, on the whole, very positive. it was actually really nice to, for a short period of time, be on a major social media network and able to interact with people across the world without usamericans constantly inserting themselves into every conversation.

usamericans kind of take over people's fyp regardless of where you're from. this is partly to do with the fact that the creators fund is only available to usamericans so most of the shitty content farms are from the us. then there's also the cultural aspect of the fact that being a citizen of the most powerful empire in the world is a significant privilege, and also a privilege that 99% of usamericans are seemingly unable to acknowledge, plus the us centrism and exceptionalism, plus the constant need to cast themselves as the underdog, and, well. it's annoying.

so, like. everything of what i've seen (which is not to say that other opinions don't exist, just that i haven't seen them) is that it was really nice when the usamericans were gone, and it kind of sucks that they're back.

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

Annoyed aromantic rant, vent, ramble, whatever you want to call it

I'm not going to put this in any tags because I am very aware that this is my own experience and not a common experience, but like, I don't understand when other aromantic people are so sad about not being in committed relationships or their friendships not being seen as "as important" as romantic relationships.

Like, I don't know, I'm just very aware of the cultural importance of romance and marriage and stuff like that, and yeah I guess it kind of sucks that a lot of things like tax benefits and child custody and next of kin are kept behind these walls of romantic relationships and marriages and stuff. Like yeah that does suck. But when people complain that they will never matter to someone as much as that person's partner, I just feel like saying "well what did you expect?" For a lot of people, their romantic partner is the closest person to them, their best friend and confidant and the person who knows them best, so of course that's the most important person in their life. For a lot of people a romantic tie is the closest relationship they can form. I'm not saying that's everyone, even romantic inclined people have more important relationships to them, but I don't understand being upset about someone else having a bond that they consider the Most Important in their life.

It just feels like at a certain point you have to find people who don't put romantic ties above platonic and familial ones. People interested in romance who don't put romance on top definitely do exist, you just have to find them. I don’t know how common they are because of the importance romance plays in a lot of people's lives, but I know those people exist, I've spoken to and befriended people like that. They exist, you just have to find them.

When people go all "I'll never be the most important person in someone's life" "I'll always be left behind, abandoned by friends for their romantic relationships" it feels very "woe is me." Like sorry man maybe you should just be friends with people who view romance and friendships in a way you do too.

And while I'm on the topic, I do not understand wanting to be the most important person in someone's life. All this talk about queer platonic partnerships, and being exclusive within them, or having qpps you live with, its just like....I don't want any commitment that intense. It feels like a lot of people have just replaced a romantic relationship with that and called it a different name while changing nothing. I dont want a committed relationship, I don't want to live with someone, I don't want to be exclusive, I don't want to marry someone, that's like the whole point of me being aromantic. Thats literally just being in a relationship, doesn't matter if you change the name, its the same thing to me. "Marry your friend for the tax benefits!" I would rather eat drywall.

(A thousand disclaimers that this is my experience and my feelings and my preferences and you can use whatever label or relationship label you want and I'm not the label police you can do whatever the hell you want, I do not care. This is just my two cents on my feelings.)
