a general psa that “reminding” loveless aromantics that love doesn’t have to be romantic is just rude and borderline disrespectful. trust me, they know. they probably understand the connotations of love better than you too. loveless aros are the ones who know their identity and comfort levels best so how about y’all stop getting up in arms whenever they challenge how you think people are supposed to interpret love.

Reminder that it's never productive to respond to arophobes with "aros can still love!" or any variant of how we love differently, "better", etc. as a defense. First off, arophobes aren't worth fighting or devoting your attention to. Second, you're not an activist or a defender of aros if your defense comes at the expensive of the unloving. You shouldn't seek to rationalize or debate hate by moving the goalposts.

Love is not required btw. It is well and good to live a life without love. Love is not something that must be experienced in order to be happy. Good life can exist without love.

when I say I’m going to marry a celebrity and some miserable person has to respond with “that’s not aromantic” I hope everyone knows I mean marriage in the most sexual non-romantic way possible, there will be zero love in our hypothetical marriage only vibes and sex and money

hi! id like to request an emoji, tho im not sure if itd be too complex- basically, im a loveless aro that also has low empathy, so whenever my friends talk about their romantic life i just kind of sit there with this feeling i am unsure how to convey in words /lh. so, i picture an emoji - someone shrugging and/or looking confused, with a heart-shaped hole in their chest (like a transparent one, or a black one if thats too complicated to do!)
its totally okay if thats too complex for you to do tho! have a nice day! :)
This isn't too complex at all! I did three versions, one shrugging and one not, and one for positivity/fun for my loveless aro friends :) y'all are great

[ID 1: a person tilting their head with a confused look. There is a heart shaped hole in their chest, and a large question mark overlaid with the aro flag colors to the side of them.
ID 2: The same emoji, but the person is shrugging or gesturing confusion with their hands.
ID 3: A person with the same hole in their chest, but they have a happy/satisfied expression and are giving a thumbs up. There are green sparkles around their hand. /End]

When I said "Love is not what makes us human" I meant it. It doesn't mean we need to redefine something else that makes us human. It doesn't mean that I don't understand that love is more than romantic. It means that I know those things and believe that nothing should have to define our humanity, that love is not a universal experience no matter how many different ways you try to define it.
Love is not what makes us human. Point blank.

I wish everyone who was ever into knock down drag out fandom fights would direct all that energy towards their city council, I feel like that would transform society overnight.
