This may be controversial, but I NEED allo folks to realize that “this act of kindness or caring PROVES they’re attracted to each other, it has NO other explanation” is a microaggression vs aromantic people
Yes, that even includes when you’re talking about ships
Yes, that includes when you’re making fun of “gals being pals” nonsense
People keep phrasing it like it’s an attack on heteronormativity, but each and every time it’s much more loudly saying, “Aromantic people are not capable of this kind of caring. And because no one would do this gesture for ‘just a friend,’ no one would do it for you.”
It doesn’t matter if that’s what you mean when you say it! When you mock the idea of platonic intimacy and frame it like something only an ignorant bigot would see, that’s the message we’re told day after day after day.
It’s so easy to just…say you enjoy a ship? Instead of going all “there is no other explanation” over every tidbit of human connection? Don’t put it on *us* to have to pipe up and point out that aromantic people could have connections like that too—your “uh well I GUESS it could be platonic (if you’re boring about it..)” isn’t as reassuring as you think it is.
(Also if you’re arospec and talk this way: Please be sympathetic to the fact that even if this doesn’t hit that nerve for you, it is for a LOT of other aro people.)

Fuck it I’m speaking my truth. Boobers y’all gotta stop being unnecessarily mean to ConnorEatsPants. I’ve been going through his sf6 vods and every time he references being ostracized and harassed by twitter users, my heart breaks. Connor even said that he no longer mentions being friends with Ranboo and other creators because he doesn’t want boobers to start hating Ranboo for it.
And he’s right btw. Remember when there was a possibility Connor might be in genloss? Instead of being excited or just saying nothing, boobers began linking threads on why he’s such a horrible person and how his inclusion would ruin the project as a whole. We don’t even know if he was joking or not, yet you all still celebrated when he didn’t appear in episode 2. I’m pretty sure Connor will never publicly interact with Ranboo or this community again after the way you all treated him. That’s really fucked guys.
While I understand the want to “hold people accountable” for their past actions, 1) it’s not your responsibility to hold people accountable over the internet and 2) judging everyone on their past mistakes alone is a very dehumanizing and hypocritical way to view other people.
Why is this community all about treating other with respect and kindness, especially when they’re on the spectrum, but Connor is the exception?

I'm still not over the stupid ass Astarion is gay post and all the people agreeing with it, while shitting on bi/pan people and women. Imagine being so far up your ass that you claim a pan character is gay, because he acts -gay- and calling him a f*g over and over again and then bathing in your own self righteousness.
Why does this shit happen in every fandom. This underlying denial of bi/pan people combined with outright hatred of women enjoying things. holy fucking hell. I'm too old for this shit. Some people need to touch grass.
