It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be “opposites” but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said “they’re just like me for real”
Poly folks x aro folks in the sense that “alloromantic heterosexual monogamous people view love and sex as an entirely different entity than me, and that makes life kinda strange”
[image ID] : two lines representing gradients. One is labelled “expectation,” and shows aromantic and asexual on one side and described as “no partners,” and on the opposite side shows polyamory described as “multiple partners.” The next line is labelled “reality” and on one side has “amanormativity” described as “having one relationship valued over all else,” and on the other side has “polyam, asexual, aromantic” all described as “not doing that”
