so funny how people on this website are like “how is celibacy sweeping in this poll you guys are all virgin losers. casual sex is awesome you should fuck your friends” until the person having casual sex and fucking their friends is aro. then they start pissing and shitting themselves.
They’re all big into acephobia and compulsory sexuality until they realise it would accidentally affirm alloaros, then it’s bad.
It’s like when transphobes tell trans women “No matter what you do you’ll always be a man, I’m not calling you anything other than that” and then when a cis man likes pink suddenly they’re calling him a girl. Bigotry is not consistent
Yep, aroace person here and I’ve seen both of these expressed sometimes even by the same person. As you said, it’s not about having a consistent take on the matter. People will simply shift the argument to fit the target. In this case, the goal is to make the environment ultimately hostile to both aro and ace people.
