lgbt -, aromantic stuff, a bit long
god i'd just love if aromantic people were even so much as recognized as existing
i'm glad ace folk are getting more attention as of late, but it feels like the LGBT community as whole just ignores aromantic people, probably because our society as a whole is built on top of romance as a thing
like you think sex appeal and all that is everywhere? think about how literally every. single. fucking. piece of media. contains romance in some form or fashion. often times forced and arbitrary romance!
fuck, when aro people are recognized, they're often conflated with being asexual as well! like bro, what the fuck about me? i'm an aromantic person who's demi/gray/??? sexual, sure, but i'm still sexual to some degree! don't fucking erase my sexuality just because i'm aromantic!
on top of all this shit, the only thing that concerns LGBT people is sexual stuff, never EVER about romance. it's always about how "oh, we're so sexual!", it's never "oh, we're so romantic!"
it really does feel like y'all don't care about aromantic people, and i get it, relativistically nobody except me and 3 ants are aromantic, while everyone and their grandma is asexual.
i get it, we're not popular.
but god please stop forgetting we exist? please? at least include SOME of our concerns with talks about this kinda stuff?
