Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week 2022 - Tumblr Posts

SOME AROS HAVE CASUAL SEX AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE DEMONIZED FOR IT

Some friendly reminders for the Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (& beyond)

- Aromanticism is not part of the asexuality spectrum.

- Aromanticism and asexuality are two different identities.

- The "A" in LGBTQIA+ stands for aromantic as well.

- Some aros feel romantic love. Some even fall in love. Some feel only platonic love. And some aros don't feel love at all. And that's okay.

- Ace is not interchangeable for aro.

- Being aro isn't "sad".

- Loveless aros exist and should be appreciated and cherished.

- "Aros still experience other types of love!" or "Love is love!" are exclusive and we should stop using them for the whole aro community. Even if you're aro - stop using them on the behalf of all aros. This is harmful.

- Some aros are straight.

- Some aros are gay.

- Some aros are bi or pan.

- If you think it's wrong for a gay/lesbian character to be shipped with the opposite gender, than you should think the same about aro/ace characters, who canonically don't want/aren't in relationship to be shipped with other characters.

- Some aros are also ace.

- Some aros are also allo.

- Some aros are non-SAM.

- Some aros have casual sex and they shouldn't be demonized for it.

- Don't call it "aromantic awareness week". It's Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week for a reason.

- All aros deserve aro rep.

- All aros are queer.

- All aros are human.

- This post isn't all there is for aros. Do your own research as well.
