#this double goes for when i make posts calling out other aspecs for throwing other groups under the bus

I kinda wish people would stop saying "we all need more rep" when someone mentions how they want to see rep of their identity in media.

Many of my own posts expressing the want for non-partnering or repulsed rep usually get met with "we need more kinds of aspec rep in general" and it just feels so backhanded? If that makes sense?

Like "oh YOU want rep? Okay but EVERYONE ELSE should get rep too! We ALL need rep." It just feels that it is being purposefully ignorant to the point of the posts and brushing off the issue because they personally can't relate to the rep being asked for.

No one is saying that we should ONLY have x kind of rep. No one is saying the other identities get more. So why put such an addition onto a post asking for rep? Not every post has to include every identity ever in it. Posts don't only have to be advocating for everyone or no one.
