love reading an amazing book with some of the most fantastic aro/ace rep i have ever read, and then going on goodreads to see the most willfully misinterpreted acephobic garbage in the reviews, like allos literally die when something’s not about them for .5 seconds huh

#win rambles #character in a book 'wow i don't like sex and it's annoying how it's everywhere'#someone presumably allo reading it 'WOW THIS CHARACTER IS SO SEX NEGATIVE AND JUDGY AND SHAMES PEOPLE FOR HAVING SEX'#the reviewer that was like 'wow i hate how this author tries to act like platonic relationships are BETTER than romantic ones'#when it's literally like hey what if romantic relationships weren't treated as vastly superior to every other kind of relationship #for two seconds and they see that as such an attack #like do you HEAR yourselves???#you literally sound like the 'these gay people shove it in our faces' for existing crowd #the ones that are like 'oh so you're saying that gay relationships are BETTER??? you're saying that cishets should die??? is that it???#and don't realize the hypocrisy... like that's what your'e doing #within our own community #allos cannot STAND things not being about them for two seconds #and they see aro/ace people existing as threatening them #(also no one is saying that being sex repulsed is the only way to be ace just bc the mainc haracter of the book was dear god)#but also consider.... being sex repulsed repulsed is....okay #like it's LITERALLY like looking at homophobes and reminding them that we're not saying THEY have to get gay married #just that it's good that gay marriage exists and that's fine #it's the SAME FUCKING THING like no one is telling you that you can't have sex or judging you for having se #but people deserve to be able to choose not to and not feel like they're broken or wrong for doing so #anyway sorry for the tag rant
