Aspec Representation Is Important Because Kids Are Still Told In Health Class That Everyone Feels Attraction

Fandom Problem # 3960

I hate that 99% of superhero deconstructions are just "lol Superman (or superman expy) is an asshole now!"

Final checklist for Cryptozoic’s Steven Universe Trading Cards!

would Black Star, RQ, Mads, Chev, Keshi and Skinny Ruby all make an obsidian?

oh no, they’d make something… entirely new

Not my proudest gut reaction and I keep thinking about it because of all the levels of social f*cked-up-ness this whole moment implies

Amatonormativity condones sexism:

• The assumption that men and women mostly hang out together if they’re interested in conjugal sense each other

• Men have to initiate conjugal gestures and dates first

• Women can prioritize their relationships because she is a woman and she allowed to do so.

• Men should prioritize their girlfriends because he is a man and he has to do it so in order to be a respected partner.

• Only men like and want marriage

• All women want marriage

• Men must have a partner in their lives or else they are not okay.

• A woman being jealous and emotionally clinging possessive of a man is “romantic”

• If a woman turns down a guy’s conjugal advances (want to be her boyfriend), she’s “missing” and should’ve “thought about this”

• If a man turns down a girl’s conjugal advances (want to be his girlfriend), he’s “afraid of commitment” and prone to “cheating”

• Men must prioritize partnership in their lives or else they are not man enough.

• All women desire a passionate zealous man who loves them ardently 24/7 or else there’s something off.

• All romances are couple genres

• All significant others are partners

• All lovers are partners

Two aros watching a romcom be like:

“Does everyone in a romcom just take every opportunity to mention love?” “It’s been 15 minutes and we’ve seen two affairs, discussions of sex, cybersex, marriage, divorce, engagement, and dates.”

“How do they keep meeting so often? What do you mean? Like he’s just everywhere she is, what the fuck?” “… it is a romcom, you realize, right?”

"Damn, he's just standing her up? Rude." "Yeah, that seems more like a good way to end a relationship than to start one."

"I genuinely do not know how these two will get together. They hate each other. And for good reason."

"What's with the lying? Why is he lying?"

"I don't think anyone has had a conversation that wasn't about romance, or bookstores."

"No, this is so creepy though. What's wrong with him? Why is she tolerating him? I don't get it."

"Wait so he's manipulating her by playing both sides of this, and when she realizes she's not gonna super duper hate him for being manipulative and creepy and lying to her?!" "Yeah like, this is stalker behavior, what?"

"So far this has been like, you know, not an amazing movie, but not a terrible movie. But now all of a sudden I feel like I've just lost the plot, like they're just in love now? What? Why? How? When? It was supposed to happen on screen but if it did then where the fuck was it?!"

"Doggie"

"Of course, there's nothing more important. If you're meeting a man, you have to put a skirt on, that's how it works."

"No, don't hug him! Fucking slap him in the face!"

"They're gonna kiss, aren't they?" "Oh nooooo" "So they're just immediately making out in the park."

"She hated him for so long, and then just stopped. Because it's a romcom, I guess."

"80% of that I was on board, and then the last 20% I just got lost?" "No, it lost the plot. The movie lost the plot."

"How was that supposed to be romantic? Like, sure, they get together, but like. That isn't romance. That wasn't romance, that's not what romance is."

"Honestly, I could probably write a better romcom than whatever that was. I would struggle at it, but it would actually make sense."

I need an injection of pure aromanticism to cure me from this illness.

Romance exhausted aro culture is selfishly wishing the characters stayed friends because the romance was done in such a boring, conventional way that the characters don't even feel unique anymore. Just archetypical grains in stale white bread without an ounce of un-forced romantic chemistry
