Ace of Amethysts

I don`t get it.

Aromantic love in media is rare though.

@Dodgypotato I hate to go off topic, but it seems to me that Australia is kind of obsessed with romance.

@Philbo Wiseroot You`re concerned for me?

Banned because I dropped out of school and have no idea what any of this means.

Moffat is obsessed with entering romance into everything because it's what he thinks will sell. And sadly, he's right. The majority of fans for that kind of stuff go crazy for someone turning someone who seemingly hates romance into a romantic soppy git. I hate it as well. We can't just have one non-romantic character. Ever. Those fans make me so mad. You don't need romance IN EVERYTHING. If it's not a romance genre, don't insist on putting it in everywhere!!! It's unnecessary!

 

I confess that I get really really REALLY annoyed when there is a complete over saturation of romance in things that are not classified as a romance piece of entertainment!

As sad as this might sound, ranting about it isn`t going to stop the romantic majority fawning over stuff like this and forcing it into pretty much everything.

@Dodecahedron314 Most shows aren`t made with aromantics, especially romance repulsed aros, in mind. Most people, who are romantic, will fawn over this too.

Hai watashi can. *is shot*

Portuguese is cool.

They`re mad at me.

@RubyDelvai You speak Spanish?

@Zemaddog Where in Settings can I change my member title?

Go home Ruby, you`re drunk.

I swear the majority of aces on AVEN are romantic.

Never heard that one.

I hate the "word" bae, and while we`re at it I also really don`t like smh.

I shave my underarms but I don't shave my legs or anything. I don't like the idea that women must shave and that it's frowned upon if you don't. I still wear makeup and (like I said just before) shave my underarms but I do that for me because it makes me feel more comfortable. 

Femininity as a whole is not something I'm totally fussed with I don't hate it I'm more indifferent to it I guess. 

 

With the shaving thing I just think well, our bodies are growing these hairs just like pretty much every other person on the planet. The hairs are meant to be there so it shouldn't be seen as bad for a woman to not shave. If anything not shaving is more natural. If they want to shave that's fine! But if they don't well that should be fine too. 

My position on feminine stuff is pretty much this without the underarm shaving.

My position is more that I wish more people understood being aro.
Or at least that romance isn't the only possible motivation for seeking human companionship and interaction.

That`s the best alternative at least.

@SoulWolf Thank you. The fact that females have body hair bothers other people bothers the hell out of me too.

I`ve never paid much attention to other people`s eyebrows, although I do in fact have larger than average eyebrows.

Yeah, the idea of shaving still bugs me...

@Zemaddog Yeah. Shitposting FTW.

Yeah?

A while back I made an AVEN thread where I said I disagreed with underarm shaving because the fact that society kind of wants females to do it because it`s seen as feminine thing to shave off hair people rarely see in the first place irked me. I`ve been wanting to make a thread expanding this topic into a discussion about feminine behaviours and expectations of femininity, so here it is.

Ranting is welcome.

Also, this page. Have fun.

Re-educating sounds like the way to go to me.

I confess that my brain is reminding me of a pretty bad romantic drama I saw (my dad`s romantic partner convinced both me and him to watch it) this time last year. Still think it was a late night and three hours of my time wasted.

Ah, slang. Sometimes I`m okay with it, and sometimes I hate it.

@Acciuga Don`t steal lines.
