Aroallo means you're under the aro-spec umbrella and not the ace-spec umbrella. So if you're just demiromantic, go for it!

can demiromantics (such as i) have the aroallo flag?

I'll let the community talk about this one in the comments/reblogs

I'm unsure myself 😅

But I'm pretty sure if you identify with something it's for you to decide what flag you use.

there are so many cute girls, hot men, and beguiling creatures scrolling tumblr right now. ah, it would seem that one of them is reading this post as we speak

Someone needs to say this:

The aromantic spectrum is about a natural lack of attraction. Anything else is NOT arospec

You feel attraction but don't want to act upon it? NOT arospec

Fear of intimacy or commitment? Avoidant attachment style? NOT arospec.

You went to traumatic events and now don't want anything to do with romance? NOT arospec just traumatized. Heal that and you'll have your attraction(s) back.

And if you ask me I'd say that demiromantics are more allo than aro. Alloromanticism is also a spectrum, you know?

Gatekeeping is a good thing, otherwise words just lose their meanings and true aros will pay for it.

This is valid for asexuality too but I'm not asexual and I don't give a damn about them. Maybe some angry-ace will talk about this someday.

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos

the asexual double edged sword is that a lot of people, particularly queer discoursers(tm) online, are really really rancid about ace people who have sex, I mean like stunningly awful, so naturally sex favorable/indifferent asexuals will be very keen on making sure that they aren't erased within their own community and that people at large know they exist. at the same time, people are also Very Bad about ace people who don't have sex, and sex averse/repulsed asexuals face a lot of pressure both on societal and interpersonal scales to submit to sex that they don't want, and so naturally it'll really rub them the wrong way to constantly have "but don't worry, ace people can still conform to the societal expectation!" appended to their PSAs about their experiences of asexuality. and so everyone's just kinda upset and annoyed all the time when instead it should be peace and love on planet ace.
