omitef Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I came across this video awhile ago and think it's pretty accurate in pointing out major problems and toxic beliefs when it comes to both romantic, and even platonic love. I feel like society would embrace non-romantic forms of love much more, if it weren't for romanticism, which promotes the false idea that romantic love is perfect and can solve everything in your life. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinoa Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 This was a really interesting video! I think if all those things weren't tied together in most people's minds, the world would be a whole lot more aro-friendly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber_Wing Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I didn't even realize how true this is until I watched it just now. If it weren't for romanticism, it might not be so difficult to explain who we are as aromantics, and asexuals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireSoul Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 That actually makes a lot of sense... More than I thought it would. I think that approaching love as something more practical than emotional would solve a lot of problems, especially the point that your SO cannot and will not fulfill all the roles that you hope they will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I really agree with this. I might show this video to one of my romantic friends to see what she feels about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untamed Heart Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I thought it made a lot of sense, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewix Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (Bumps old thread..) I watched this video I agree with a lot, but not all of it. But things like no one is perfect, different people for different things etc are important I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Very old thread. I see I've commented here before but I don't remember the video at all anymore? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
