Aromantic Erasure - Blog Posts
Hello, yes, I think this addition is extremely important.
There is almost twice as much written in the exclusionist tag, let that sink in.
So if y’all like writing fanfiction...
Say what you like about weird, cringy, or bad ao3 tags, I’ve found the absolute worst one ever, nothing can beat the horridness of this tag
Fuck you yes he fucking is. Stop erasing his identity you asshats
I made a post about a really small portion of the aromantic community who felt in love once in their life. Because an aromantic person feels no OR low romantic attraction, this means that even if it is just once we can still feel it and this should not be invalidated.
I opened my tumblr and there were two questions in my inbox, which is weird. I open it and see this:
I could make a post about why they're wrong and how ignorant this was. But they are so cowardly that they don't even let themselves be known after leaving such an unnecessary and stupid comment in the question box of a person who was just sharing an experience for a small group in a small community.
Yeah. I could, but I'm not going to worry about it. Anonymous, know that this didn't result in anything and you wasted your time. For those of you who fell in love and are part of the aroace community, you will continue to be one of us. Because aromantic is someone who feels little OR no romantic attraction. You can still feel this, it will just take time and it will probably only happen once.
In case you're wondering this is the post in question:
Kisses and hugs to all aromantic people out there.
