One of my least favorite responses to discussions about arophobia in fiction is “That character isn’t aromantic though! They’re just a psychopath/sociopath/narcissist/[insert relevant stigmatized disorder here]”. Being aromantic and having a personality disorder — including ASPD or NPD — are not mutually exclusive. The trope of “This person doesn’t feel love, therefore they are evil” doesn’t stop being arophobic the moment it’s directed towards a character with a personality disorder (yes, even if they have one of the “scary” personality disorders). Ableism and arophobia often intersect in this way, and that doesn’t make the arophobia any less arophobic

RADQUEERS & TRANSIDS STOP REBLOGGING THIS POST IS NOT FOR YOU

ik this blog is dead but yknow what, im gonna take advantage of my following to make an important post:

this pride month, i want you to educate yourselves & support the "controversial" queers.

& no i dont mean people with contradictory labels or xeno pronouns or those who use outdated/offensive terminology. i mean the people that even the most sex-positive, pro-kink, self-proclaimed perverts think are dangerous freaks who deserve to die.

i mean the paraphiles & people with taboo or stigmatized kinks/fetishes. i mean the people into the most taboo & stigmatized things like children, animals, corpses, & incest. i mean the people into violent things like murder, gore, rape, & abuse. i mean the people into unsanitary things like piss, shit, vomit, sweat, & snot. i mean the people into things that are constantly memed on like feet, armpits, bodily excretions, cartoon characters, pool toys, & plushies. i mean the people with attractions that would be illegal, immoral, or downright impossible to act out in real life.

no attraction is inherently harmful or evil. there are safe ways to indulge in these things such as fictional content, roleplay with consenting partners, & custom sex toys.

no, i dont think paraphilias are lgbt+ identities. they cant really be grouped into the same category or treated the same way as being gay or trans. but paraphilias are undeniably queer, as theyre highly stigmatized attractions that fall outside the norm. paraphiles face far more violence & hatred than any other lgbtq identity you can think of. it is still normalized & accepted to subject paraphiles to abusive treatments that have been proven to be cruel & ineffective, such as conversion therapy, forced sterilization, & excessive medication. even queer people forget their own history & advocate for this kind of abuse for paraphiles. there is no safe space for paraphiles to seek support, acceptance, or community the way lgbtq has pride, & that's a damn shame.

& believe it or not, many (maybe even most!) paraphiles are gay, bi, pan, poly, trans, nonbinary, aro, ace, & any other lgbtq identity you can think of.

so yes, paraphiles belong at pride. spend this month unlearning preconceived biases & educate yourself on what paraphilias actually are & how theyre not inherently dangerous.

AROMANTIC BEINGS CAN DATE!!! AND HAVE LOVING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH WHOMEVER MANY THEY DESIRE!!

AROMANTIC BEINGS ALSO NEVER HAVE TO BE IN ANYTHING CLOSE TO A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP!!! THEY CAN DO QPRS!! OR JUST HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!

ALLOROMANTIC BEINGS CAN STAY SINGLE THEIR WHOLE LIVES AND THATS SUPER COOL!!! THEY NEVER HAVE TO DATE EVEN IF THEY DO EXPERIENCE ROMANTIC ATTRACTION

ALLOROMANTIC BEINGS CAN ALSO LOVE AND NEED A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP!! AND DATE AS MANY AS THEY WANT!!

ASEXUAL BEINGS CAN STILL HAVE AND ENJOY SEX!! EVEN IF YOU WOULDN’T PERSONALLY CONSIDER WHAT THEY DO SEX- WHATEVER THEY DO FOR ‘SEX’ IS BOTH VALID AND NO ONE ELSES BUSINESS EXCEPT THEIRS!!

ASEXUAL BEINGS CAN ALSO BE REPULSED AND NEVER WANT TO ENGAGE- REGARDLESS IF THEY HAVE HAD SEX BEFORE OR NOT. THEY DONT HAVE TO HAVE SEX TO KNOW!! THEY JUST NEED RESPECT!

ALLOSEXUAL BEINGS DONT EVER HAVE TO HAVE SEX, EVEN IF THEY EXPERIENCE SEXUAL FEELINGS!!

ALLOSEXUALS CAN ALSO FUCK NASTY!! GET IT BITCH!! SERVE!!

AROMANTICS CAN STILL WANT SEX!! ASEXUALS CAN STILL WANT ROMANCE!! THEY ALSO MIGHT NOT!!

MORAL OF THE STORY: LET PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THEIR LEVEL OF ATTRACTION AND STOP TRYING TO POLICE ATTRACTION!!

The Jedi are an aro/ace culture that live happy and fulfilling lives and people hate them for it

People steeped in amatanormativity can't stand the idea that people don't want/need romance and can not only be content without it, but in fact very happy without romance

And thus they hate the Jedi, because an entire culture (even a fictional one) that is aro/ace-normative is an affront to them

[uncanny-tranny]

It's fine to be loveless as an aro. It isn't the end of the world, actually, and you aren't a threat, nor are you an annoyance. If others feel threatened by your completely loveless aromanticism that says more about them than it does about you <2

[aro-culture-is]

trans aro culture is telling your best friend without a hint of irony "when i change my name legally i'm taking your last name because my family sucks. you're stuck with me now" and them joking that since both of you were planning on platonically getting married to someone to adopt kids anyway you might as well just marry each other

Pro-kink advocacy goes hand in hand with aspec advocacy and if you don't understand this you need to start.
