Please don't make people who attack aros mods of aro communities. 21 minutes ago, MulticulturalFarmer said: hating arospecs? I didn't know if it was done in jest or not though. No. This user stops by every few years or so to spout harmful anti-aro rhetoric and invalidate aros. They come and spout the saaaaame bs about "real aromantics" and "fake aromantics". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you did succeed in my attempt to never head to online aro spaces again, congrats, you've done it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point, most people in this thread aren't siding with the OP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that seems more like a moderation issue than a general community issue, but also that is a valid reason to be alienated from here. If you want to surround yourself with more inclusive aros, I suggest tumblr because 1. You can block certain tags and people 2. Even though in the past the site was rife with exclusionism, it has died down significantly over the years so its much easier to just block everyone 3. You can follow specific tags for your specific labels 4. There are a lot of very inclusive blogs (I can't access tumblr rn but I will add some to this post later if you like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they were around, we were actually under different admin and moderatorship. We'll have to wait and see for our current team to come on and make their decision.
