that whole “japanese people are white” post is going around again, and I’d like to remind you that while, yes, light skin =/= white, not all east asian people have light skin!!
the japanese side of my family is not pale. at all. a lot of japanese people aren’t, so please keep that in mind when you talk about this
“Aro rep is bad if they don’t seem to care about anyone. They have to have life defying friendships!!!!!!!!!!”
Aplatonic aros exist…………………………………………………………
Also the idea that Aromantics must have an extremely close friendship, (which many still do including myself, but the idea that it is a must) comes from the same place as mandatory romances.
it’s basically just expecting an Aromantic person to have the closest thing possible to a romantic relationship as possible without it actually being romance, because people try make aro people have almost the same lives as alloro people instead of showing that they can be different and how that’s okay.
