arotic Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 So, I started identifying myself as aromantic to people over the last two days and it hasnt gone so well with one person, who is incidentally gay. Im still pissed off about the barely even tacit level of acceptance he gave me. It also didnt go so great with my mom, though better than with this guy, thankfully. I was reading some posts on here complaining about discrimination against aro, including from the lgbq+ people. If they are so sure that we do have these romantic feelings (give or take) that everyone is assumed to have, why dont we deny that THEY have these feelings themselves? Yeah thats passive aggressive I know, but it would be funny <<<EDIT: BUT SHOULDNT ACTUALLY DO THAT, ITS JUST A VENTING THOUGHT ? >>>.

Guest Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hmm…somehow, i feel like they would scream about homophobia or something like that. But if you want to try it, be sure to be safe. I don't know if i will, interacting with arophobes (and aphobes in general) is really stressfull. They are just horrible sometime. (also, sorry to hear it didn't go well... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jot-Aro Kujo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yeeeeeah that would not be funny. I mean you could try it on straight people, sure, but don't you dare do that to a gay person. They already get that shit enough from heteros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about them being aphobes in this context, but yeah they are still gay and it would be right of them to say its homophobic. Well, homophobia is probably not the right way to answer arophobia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arotic Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Oh woops, I was really tired. I had a sentence saying that we shouldnt actually DO that! I deleted about half the post before I actually posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 You could do it in a kinda hypotetchical way. Like if a homsexual/homoromantic person says something like, "you just haven't met the right person yet" you can respond with "how do you know you just haven't met the right person of the opposite gender yet?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
