  1. I'm actually quite fond at using the shift key but yes, you make a compelling case. I will cease to use "Full A", I was only so against acearo because I wanted a term I invented to become popular. Sigh, pride will be my downfall.
  2. I apologize. I forgot other people had illogical connotations for certain words. 'Full' and 'half' aren't negative for me, they are statements of the status of something. Full isn't meant to imply the rest is half(ie. less). It is meaning that there is nothing but A.
  3. I was actually being explicitly kind and, as a compound point, I'm not even saying anything rude. I was simply stating that if, hypothetically, someone threw I fit that I said Full A because that's discriminatory towards 'allosexuals' I would make the above points. In a far less congenial manner, of course.
  4. I feel like making an umbrella term for something that can just be said is unnecessary. I said "full" because I'm aware that most people aren't double A. Double A has less syllables than Asexual Aromantic but Full A has even less making it conventionally more convenient to say. Complicating things by making a third A orientation that's actually just an umbrella is obnoxious and unneeded. Much like cishets asking for a flag. Only the minorities get flag/special recognition simply because they have to try harder to be heard.
  5. I've recently redefined my A status and would like to share. Now, I knew I was ace for like 3 years but romance was tricky. Most of the time I couldn't bother but then there'd be set moments that I be highly infatuated(in one instance, obsessed) with particular men. So I went around saying I was ace/homoromantic. But I haven't had an "episode" in a long time so I finally settled onto full A. Until recently(like 2 weeks ago) I just ignored that brief phase of off and on homoromantism. It is important to note that when the homorom bits went away, i would be terrified of actually kissing someone(as fits the rom-repulsed aro branch.) but then I was doing some casual inner monologue when I realized I was SUPER bored and was what I call nubby(romantic version of horny). I was like "Hm, connection?" and reviewed all the past crushes and homoromantic situations and found that yes, I never had anything else to do when the homorom fits came about(same with the occasional sexual bits). And that allowed me to finally redefine the borders of my A-ness. I am, in fact, full A. But just like how one night stand people use sex as a game or something to keep them busy, I use romance. When I'm beyond bored I seek out exciting situations recklessly(part of an impulse control issue) and exciring situations usually fall under the list of "Things I Haven't Done Yet" which a lot of relationship things are on there. Not sure what you would actually define these odd branches of ace and aro as but I'll just say I use romance(and rarely sex) as sport rather than actual emotional connection/dependance. Yay to defining orientation?
