bout to smack some fucks who think only gay aces and aros are allowed in the community
ASEXUALITY AND AROMANTICISM ARE BOTH INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF THEIR OTHER ORIENTATION how fucking hard is that to understand
“but i don’t want straight people in the community”
ok well too fucking bad because trans striaght people, ace and aro straight people, and intersex straight people fucking exist and it isn’t all about you ya tit
i swear to god, men raising their voice is the most terrifying thing in the whole world. they dont understand, like its an immediate panic response, game over
literally nobody you asshole: ‘omg why is this american website populated by mostly american users so america-centric?? my 4th cousin who lives in a french village was stung by a bee this morning why is no one talking about this?’
no. nobody fucking says that and it’s not what us-centrism means. what people are pissed about is non-american users are guilted for not being up to date with us social and political issues and told we’re bad people for not knowing the details of every major usamerican issue – whilst usamerican tumblr users refuse to educate themselves on topics and issues that aren’t us-based, thus holding the rest of us to a bizarre double standard.
we’re pissed that usamerican tumblr users repeatedly assume that the rest of the world has the exact same social issues & dynamics as the usa. we’re pissed that any attempt to bring up this double standard or encourage usamericans to educaste themselves about our social and political issues (like many of us educate ourselves about usamerican issues), or any attempt to stop usamerican users from shaming non-usamericans for not knowing the details of usamerican social and politicl issues, is met by a pushback reaction that others us and treats our issues as ridiculous and less important than anything that happens in the usa.
and posts like this just prove our goddamn point.
the weirdest thing about the education system is that pretty much every teenager ever is so stressed out about schools that they pray for disasters or fake illness or try to kill themselves and yet nobody has ever thought to themselves “hey maybe our system is flawed” and instead all they ever think is “kids these days are so lazy and selfish” like what the fuck is up with that man
When your hillbilly coworker shares this bullshit (on top of a transphobic post about Caitlyn Jenner before this one) and you gotta let them know what’s up.
Shut. Down.
Like the first flag stood for anything different than the confederate flag…
I think relationships in general are over romanticized like at the end of the day I’m pretty sure a good relationship is just two people who know how to hang out and talk to each other not whether or not they can right all your wrongs or paint a picture of a thousand suns with the breath from your lungs or some shit
stop fucking leaving your partners just because they realize they are asexual and or aromantic in the middle of the relationship you fucking assholes
Except non aro/ace people usually require romantic affection and sexual satisfaction to sustain in a relationship, even if they love a person. Don’t condemn them for desiring physical advances and romance with their significant other. They deserve that kind of relationship just as much as an aro/ace deserves one without it.
the word you’re looking for is “selfish”
Leaving a relationship you no longer feel comfortable in is not selfish. Telling people to stay in a relationship they no longer feel comfortable in because it would hurt your feelings if they left is selfish.
Hey, yeah I am one of those people who left a relationship when we both realized we were not going in the same direction.
He is asexual, and I was very much not.
Dont get me wrong. I still adore the dude, and he is my best friend to this day. But we were NOT going to work out in the long run.
I want a family at some point. I like sex. Being in a relationship like that made me feel very unwanted and unattractive. It got to me. It started to destory the relationship more and more. My self-esteem dropped to nothing while dating him. He tried his best, but he wasnt comfortable doing things that would help me feel better. I wasnt getting the attention I needed.
I was with him for 5 ½ years. He is my best friend. But this was not going to work.
Do not EVER make someone feel bad when they realize that the future they want, the affection they need is selfish. NEVER tell me that.
He deserves the relationship he wants as much as I do.
