Nice to meet you 👍

Hey, this is something you need to talk to an adult in those kids’ lives about. That’s sexual assault, regardless of whether the two of them are aware of it or not, and it needs to be dealt with right away. Tell the grandparents, a teacher, etc. Best of luck to your brother, I’m so sorry that’s happening to him.

Is this a homework question?

Reviving this thread to share my latest aro fic, centered around Johnny from Guilty Gear. Warning for mild sexual content/discussions of sex. https://archiveofourown.org/works/49401187

Uh, could y’all maybe like, make a separate thread for Barbie movie spoilers, or at least use the spoiler function? Not everyone has seen it yet…

Sex drive.

I mean, is it that you want to be the same gender as them? Or are you jealous someone's afforded certain social freedoms that are typically available only to people who play a certain gender role?

??? But this isn’t the anonymous Q&A section, so you can pretty clearly see everyone’s usernames…

Sounds like romantic attraction to me. Didn’t you already ask this once? I’m not saying that to be mean or anything- It’s just that I remember this story, so why not try going back and pondering the answers people gave last time? Also, have you spoken to any alloromantic lesbians about your experience?

So what’s the problem?

Yeah, pretty much. They've spent their whole lives taught to believe that everyone experiences romantic attraction, that everyone wants to experience romantic attraction, that everyone has to experience romantic attraction. And, since they do experience it, they've never had any reason to doubt this. They can't comprehend the idea of someone existing outside their prescribed social model, in the same way that a lot of white people are baffled by my culture's multi-generational household structure.

I dunno, is there? Do you want to? Think about it. It’s your choice.

Personally, I’m not afraid of death. Lots of my family is dead, it happens to everybody. I still care about them and talk to them, so what is there to be scared of? In my culture death is just another part of life. I think a lot of people fear death because their cultures teach them to do so, that it’s something you should never talk about and only ever be scared and upset about, but it’s not. It’s just a thing that happens. Like Oingo Boingo said, no one lives forever.

????? Sounds like a bad friendship then. You should break up with her.

Maybe, but OP is a teenager who's already shared a general idea of their location, and this is an unlocked forum that can be viewed by anyone and is about an LGBTQ+ related subject (i.e. groups vulnerable to hate crimes). It's always better safe than sorry in a place like this.

Have you actually told her how you feel, or are you just doing the “if she really cares about me she’ll telepathically figure out what I want from her” thing? Like don’t get me wrong, I can see why you’re upset. But communication is key to a good relationship of any kind. If something’s bothering you about the way she treats you, tell her that.

Those aren’t their real names, right? If they are, you probably shouldn’t be sharing that. Internet safety is important!

There's some, but lately it seems to be mostly teenagers, at least as far as newcomers and particularly active posters go.

Congrats!

Nice to meet you. Always good to see other mid-20s aros.

You really believe your friends would say that? Get better friends then, damn… They don’t sound like very nice people.

I have no problems with the term. It’s not something I really experience (nor do I experience “platonic crushes” or any other way you want to describe it), so I don’t use it for myself, but I don’t dislike it. I would imagine its presence in Animal Crossing is a coincidence.

You’re not obligated to tell anybody a damn thing. Do what makes you comfortable.

I don't get it, what's the joke here?
