Imagine getting so worked up over someone talking about aro/ace erasure. “I’m sick of your stupid drama” four words for you, block and move on. You WILL be okay. They are not torturing your family right in front of you.
I think you will be okay if even ONE aroace person wishes that others wouldn’t erase the rep that we BARELY even get in the first place. Stop acting pathetic and just BLOCK if it makes you act this way.
Also, on that note, what the hell? “May every (fictional) character suffer forever in a straight abusive incestuous hellscape with an age gap,” are you really that mad about this person’s post that you’re wishing characters that don’t even exist to be in a situation like that? Grow up and get a fucking life, actually, because again, you’re acting pathetic.
If you’re so tired of discourse, then fucking ignore it instead of engaging in it, because, if you didn’t know, engaging will land you in even MORE discourse!! That’s how stuff like this works!!!
Ok i already talked about this before but I’m gonna again.
Whenever people ship aroace characters IT. IS. ERASING. REP.
“But they could be gray-“ disrespectfully stfu. You wouldn’t do that with a gay character.
You wouldn’t say “But they could be bi!!!” To a gay character so you could ship them with the opposite gender. That would get you cancelled in five seconds flat. So why is it okay to essentially do the same thing with an aroace character? (And btw dont go “ermmm that does happe-“ I’M WELL AWARE IT DOES but this happens so much more to aroace characters without any consequences.)
If the aroace character DOES have a partner then sure. If the aroace character DOES show interest in dating then sure. If the aroace character is CONFIRMED grayromantic/sexual THEN SURE. BUT if it is NOT confirmed and they show ZERO interest in romance/sex then STOP. SHIPPING. THEMMMM!!!!!!
It is NOT that hard. Aroace characters don’t belong to you. It is so fucking infuriating to see people take the only rep we have and completely disregard it. Again, you wouldn’t do that with a gay character would you? You wouldn’t do that with a lesbian character either!!! So stop doing it with aroaces!!!
There is so many other characters for you to ship together. Just let us aroaces have our rep and stop disregarding it. The world will not end if you do, I promise.
