As an aroallo who’s been involved in the ace/aro discourse from a few years ago, I’ve read the manifesto and found the blog behind it, and… yeah that’s not a psy-op, that’s just aros replicating political lesbianism on accident because they’re frustrated with amatonormativity and conflating it with romantic attraction in general, but I also feel kinda… weird about seeing it sent anonymously to someone who isn’t aro and idk if you’ve ever openly said if/that you’re aro or not. Even though the original creators of the manifesto were being completely genuine about it, that wouldn’t stop someone who thinks aromantics are homophobic freaks who need to be pushed out of the queer community from using it to create rifts by sending it to alloromantic queer folks to subtly say “look, this is what those heartless monsters think of you!” And since they’re anonymous, I have absolutely zero idea what their intentions are and cannot examine them more closely. It seems so far the reactions have been to criticize it while maintaining the stance that aros as a whole are fine, which is great, but I still can’t shake my suspicions of the original anon. I dunno. Maybe I’m still too burned by the discourse.
(This is not me saying you’ve done anything wrong, I get that you get a lot of unhinged anons and cannot control what people send you. This is me side-eyeing the anon who sent that to you really hard).
if it makes you feel better, this was the original message i got:
have you ever read the aromantic manifesto? (link here: aromanticmanifesto + tumblr ending) I'm not in very many aro-centric or aro-informed spaces IRL and tumblr is a cesspit so I'm very curious to hear what other queer people think of it, as an aroqueer person (genuine) feel free to ignore this!
in case that kind of helps to contextualize it, it wasn't like. someone just dropping a link and leaving, it was someone asking what i thought. i just couldn't read the pdf that the blog had linked bc it was formatted in a way that was hard on my eyes. but also i get a ton of ppl "asking what i think" and then it's just bait so it is so fucking hard to tell which questions are ppl who are genuinely curious and who is just trying to set me up :)))))))
but yeah, i think it's a pretty common anxiety for all types of queer people to worry that any time one of us does something stupid that we're all going to get punished. i'm monitoring my notes in case anyone uses this as an opportunity to be a dipshit abt it.

Alright, I’ll play. There’s a lot of questions because I just copy and paste the original post and remove anything I don’t wanna know or feels too personal or whatever.
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. (Do it)
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?
💖 What made you start writing?
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
🏆 What's your most popular fic?
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
🧠 Pick a [toh] character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. (It’s gonna be angst-y most likely btw)
😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?
Okay I’m doing this no procrastinating.
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh? Cannot think of any i might be funny here but it doesn’t come naturally in writing
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers? hmm does inserting a twice song into my first Wenclair fic count?
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride? if I ever actually go somewhere with twaf (I’m working on it I swear) we are going places and not coming back folks
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. (Do it) i have good analogies?? I think??
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately? yup! I’m a swiftie bitch and right now I’m listening to cruel summer a lot for a ronance fic that maybe I’ll release someday should the fanfic gods allow. that and silk chiffon by muna has been stuck in my head since I watched do revenge
🙋‍♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic? *grits teeth* they can’t prove it
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write? preferably afternoon 👍
💖 What made you start writing? i do wanna be writer but I didn’t really think I’d write fanfic. But then I tried and despite all the woes I have about it it’s super fun
❌ What's a trope you will never write? I can’t think of any?
🏆 What's your most popular fic? good question. I should probably know this. okay I just checked it’s New Years eve. (A Wenclair fic) which I am slightly salty about bc like all of my popular things I wrote it at midnight slightly unhinged. Still, I like it and I even got some fanart of it (!!!) out of it which was super cool.
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which? *sighs* I’m not cool enough to have readers theorizing abt my work lol. Maybe further into twaf that’s my dream
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants? both! I spout out the randomest shit as I go but if I have a timeline idea I’ll write it down in a separate doc with future scenes I want to use
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started? write multi chapter fics in advance or you’ll regret it
🧠 Pick a [toh] character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. (It’s gonna be angst-y most likely btw) give me a vee headcanon!
😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon? oh god. I might actually die if any of them read any of my fics but especially the new years fic idk it’s a little dramatic
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success? well I wouldn’t consider any of my fics successes so… maybe praise. or just a comment. I’m not a popular fanfic author but one day. One day.
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)? id love to say angst but I’m not sure that’s true. maybe action I can’t write fight scenes ;-;
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart? nope.
thanks for the ask dagger sorry this took me so long!

uh.. wasn't that circe post, like.. the "too realistic" thing was referring to how men doing things to women who can't consent is an actual thing that happens irl a lot? and that's why they were talking about it the way they were? I don't think it was the mind control specifically. (I'm on mobile & I can't recall exactly how the post went bc my memory's really bad so sorry if I'm getting anything off) Maybe I'm out of line for this but you going out of your way to be mean to someone talking abt something they think is serious that you think is nbd just bc it's a game is really disappointing to see.. like, u coulda just ignored it or smthn? why go outta ur way to be rude to someone? idgi..
(not trying to start an argument or anything btw, I won't message again, I just.. idk, feel like someone here's missing smthn. Maybe it's me. Is the psp game just off the walls lighthearted? i've only played TS3 😔)
The PSP game involves a Werepug. It involves a robot woman who explodes and then you have to collect her body parts so that a scientist can put her back together. There’s a game that’s whack-a-mole with zombies. The main antagonist’s name is a pun and his plan involved creating a “cow based cult” to summon a cow demon named “Beezlebeef”.
So to answer your question I’m being rude because if I’m not I’ll have to go through another round of listening to adults explain why you’re a bad person if you like a character from a videogame made in 2005 because they “seem like an abuser”. ... In a sims game, where characters talk in gibberish.
If I have to go through another “Is Buzz Grunt an abusive husband?” discourse where people project their personal issues onto and then try to cancel pixels on a screen like they’re a real person. If I have to have one more discussion with someone who talks about social issues with absolute authority but only how they apply to fictional characters and saying idiotic cutesy shit like “You absolute walnut” I am going to become goddamned unhinged. 
But other than that I’m doing great <3 Sims 3 is so much fun! What’s your favorite expansion pack? Mine’s Supernatural because I think werewolves are neat :)
