  1. The aro community is lowkey full of hypocrites, they claim to support everyone on the aro spectrem yet freak out and call anyone whose aplatonic or loveless psychos/mentally ill/crazy and other borderline ableist terms. One of the many reasons why I don't go on aro forums much anymore is due to trash like this. Stop trying to palatable for allos because it ain't going to work and in the end, every aphobe hates us equally.
  2. It's super validating to meet other apl arospecs. I felt alone for the longest time because all aros would talk about is how friendship & platonic attraction is "more important" than romance and such. Which made me feel a bit unwanted I slowly realised I was apl, so I tried forcing myself to experience platonic attraction, didn't work lol.
  3. Realised I'm grey-ace!

      @Storm_leopardcat I just considered myself an allosexual pan

  4. I declare Instant Crush to be a greyro anthem. No particular reason. I just love Daft Punk.

      What are your fave Daft Punk tracks, Lovebird? Would this be one of them?

      Veridis Quo, Doing it Right, Touch, probably a billion more I cannot think of but those are my top favourite.

  5. Happy New Year from Australia~!

  6. Religion and sprirtual stuff. I like learning about the niche parts, like local Catholic saints or how religious practices vary between different countries.
  7. A lot of my fave girl names are either space themed (Celeste, Luna, Stella, Astrid ect) or Greek mythology themed (Calliope, Athena, Iris, ect). I don't have many boys names I like but I quite like Atlas. Bird themed names are great for unisex names imo, Wren, Birdie, Avery, Jay ect.
  8. I've had both allros & aros completely not understand why I date people. In case I have to spell it out for some of youse, I am romantically attracted to people on occasion, and that means I sometimes date people, but only if they are also attracted to me and we have good chemistry.
  9. Hmm, not really a fan of the idea that me dating people as being labled as "complex", it's actually quite easy to understand, people are just too ignorant to not want to hear it.
  10. Ugh I cannot find it anymore, but there are posts where it's like "this new tv show has no romance! perfect for us aromantics!" like no?
  11. You would despise r/aromantic then, they think any piece of fiction with "no romance" is peak representation. I remember being so pissed when Squid Game came out and everyone on the sub praising it for its "no romance" rule when it bullshit because as a person who actually watched it:
  12. Bless you for this post. I've been begging for romo-arospec representation for years now as I myself am in a romantic relationship and really want to see more characters like me. But I'm scared that if a thing like that becomes true, the aromantic community will either shout over how much they hate it or even attempt to outright cancel it as I've noticed half the community has gone from "we need more aro/non-romantic queer rep" to "no romance should ever be portrayed in fiction ever" regardless of where ever it's well written of if it makes another arospec feel validated.
  13. Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift Don't Call me Angel - Ariana Grande Shinigami Eyes - Grimes Travel - MAMAMOO Arrival - The Alchemist
  14. I'm in a romantic relationship, we've been together for nearly 5 years I listen to love songs I read shipping fics, even the "cheesy" stuff I enjoy I don't like cuddling but I love kissing I'm aplatonic, don't care too much about friendships
  15. Aww, I grew up with Eddsworld. Tom was my favourite too 😊
  16. I see you're a bird person of culture yourself.
  17. Just making a statement, didn't know how to exactly classify countries with a White ethnic majority population. 😅
  18. I see complaining about non-existent Americanisation of cultures is thing among all Anglo countries. I tip my hat to you.
  19. Yeah, I see a lot of anti-Americanisation posts on the r/Australia Reddit. Which is weird and hypocritical, considering one could say the same about Christmas or Easter. Also tipping in AU isn't exactly new, it's been a thing historically, just not as common as it is compared to America - which is funny considering these are the same people who say to support small business, which yes, does include tipping your servers.
  20. Nothing. Where I live Halloween isn't really celebrated, unless you're from the suburbs as Halloween is typically seen as an American holiday but it's gained a resurgence in my country over the last 2 decades.
  21. A lot. Mainly because I've experienced romantic attraction before (abet rarely) and am currently dating someone. Also because I'm aplatonic and do not relate to the aro communities version of 'love'. I'm constantly worried I won't be welcome in aro spaces because of those factors, especially in real life spaces.
  22. I am autistic and intellectually disabled
