Eyyyy startin that redraw
A key point in framing is that almost every anti-choice idiot says, is that they always frame it as "the choice to have a kid". Specifically, in this case:
"You chose to have sex, so you have to deal with the kid"
Let's just...side-step the puritanical root of punishing people for having sex, and the actual, sincere belief that humans Not Having Sex is something we can actually achieve, which is stupid.
People explicitly make choices to not have kids when they have sex, too.
There are whole swaths of things that men and women do, hopefully overlapping, to not have kids.
None of them are 100% effective. Even Female and Male sterilization aren't 100% effective, other than a full blown hysterectomy.
Literally, a man and a woman can both go to a doctor, have actual surgeries performed so they don't have kids, have sex with one another, and still wind up pregnant. Especially if it's in the first few years after their surgeries are performed. Surgeries which have weeks to months of recovery time, planning, and costing thousands of dollars each.
I choose to go to work every day; punishing me for getting hit by a cab as a "potential outcome" of going to work is fucking ludicrous. People smoking are more likely to get a cancer, but we still treat them in hospitals. Getting AIDS from donating blood is a thing that can happen, but you're damn well going to sue the hospital or agency that gave you AIDS. I can play the lottery every day and eventually win a million dollars, but it's still "the stupid tax" and actually thinking it will happen is the literal Gold Standard for "not gonna happen".
Nowhere else in society do we accept bullshit like that except when we're talking about controlling women and their sex lives for doing things you don't want them to. And it's always, always from the same people who want the woman to deliver the baby (which itself has a high risk of just killing the mom outright, especially in the US) who don't want to feed the baby when it's delivered, who don't want to give it a home or clothes or healthcare.
Again, that's before we even get to:
This is how the beginning of the game went, right?
I swear I I’ll get some art done *soon*.
Apparently I’ve been FE deprived and am enjoying this game way too much. Also these supports sure have been something.

i’m not aro but can you scrap the white ring and change the universal aromantic symbol to a ring with pyridine or at least hexagon ring. “but why?” i hear you asking?? quick chemistry lesson, aromatic compounds are a specific type of ring in organic chemistry that are flat and have delocalised electrons, this is benzene (C6H6) which is one of the simplest aromatic rings
if you have a keen eye you may be able to tell that aromatic is only one letter from being aromantic so lets chuck an N in there shall we
each of the corners of the hexagon represents a carbon atom and when you swap one with a nitrogen (N) then you get pyridine. pyridine is also aromatic itself but it is also an aromatic ring + N and therefore an aromantic ring!
Therefore if you make pyridine the unofficial ring for the aros then it’ll literally be an aromantic ring! aros pls get behind this <3
