official aromantic awareness week post
Aro people don’t have to love a certain amount to make up for being aro. Being aro doesn’t mean you need to love your platonic friends and family more. Or be a more loving person in general.
Listen if your response to an aro talking about a non-romantic partner is “LOL DO YOU NOT KNOW THE TERM IS FRIENDS” you’re an annoying crappy piece of shit and your opinion on the relationships of others specifically aros is literally worthless
Fun idea - Stop mocking aro culture for once. I keep seeing posts joking telling people to go outside in reference to aro people trying to explain squishes and other alloromantic people are mocking the idea of queerplatonic relationships and saying it’s literally just friendship and that people are idiots.
Please, just… Stop. If you don’t understand it, that’s okay! You don’t need to, but if you don’t have the experience you can’t tell people that the way they experience things is invalid or identical to some other thing.
tl;dr: mocking squishes and queerplatonic relationships isn’t funny and I really hope some of you guys will understand that and stop.
