"but You've Dated Before, You Can't Be Aromantic" "but You've Never Dated Anyone, How Could You Know

look. i'm sorry. really sorry for not just letting this die. but it bugs me. so suffer i guess.

If I saw a canonically trans character and said "well I prefer to write them as cis" people would be pissed at me, for good reason.

If I saw a canonical trans woman/man character and wrote them as a demigirl/boy and said "while the show just says she/he's trans, not that she/he's a trans woman/man" people would be pissed at me, also for good reason.

If a character was directly implied to be trans, and the creator confirmed later that they were meant to be trans, and I went "well it wasn't said explicitly in the show so it's not canon," people would be pissed at me, for good reason.

If the majority of a fandom did those things, we could collectively agree that the fandom is really transphobic.

You can sub this out for any queer identity with mainstream representation, and probably non-queer identities too.

So why is it considered acceptable to do these things to aspec characters?

Why are ships contrary to aspec identities the only ships against a character's canon queer identity that get popular?

Why are aspec people the only ones that get consistent ship discourse over our real identities?

Why are aspec people the only ones asked to sit back and take it?

Why is it on aspec people to not ruin allo people's fun in fandom, but allo people are allowed to ruin ours?

(The answer to all of the above is: aspec identities are viewed by other queer people as functionally straight and are treated as such)

i love that during doomcoming everyone is freaking the fuck out, doing rituals, having orgies, and hunting people like animals and then Nat is just there like “my hand is wavy hehehe”🤪

Wade said "is somebody gonna match my freak?" and Logan made it his personal mission to match that man's fucking freak.

(this can literally work either way)

Nothing more romantic than getting it on with your girl while watching a movie about Santa falling in love with a high schooler, right after you just had a heartfelt conversation about your dead wife, and your girl admitting to murder

Laios, already grabbing the nearest monster:

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

Starkid looked at The Individual Who Was Unfond of Musical Theatre and said yes but what if he had clones on the moon and got stockholm syndrome'd into being a cat. They really said put that guy in a situation.
