Randomchaos Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I don't think the posts like "I don't want romance" were passive aggressive tbh my romantic friend probably gets very tired of hearing me say that Another thing I think she probably finds annoying is when she is talking about trying to find someone and I say "I really don't understand why you have to find someone."

cooliocool Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Are you serious? It's usually romantics that say annoying things to aromantics. Not the other way around! Aromantics are a minority and romantics are a majority. So how often do you hear aromantics saying "annoying" things? If you get annoyed by an aromantic talking about their feelings such as "I don't want love" then you have some serious issues. No offense... You obviously wanted to start shit by writing a thread like this. I never said anything "annoying" to people unless they say something annoying to me first. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I get it, the word "love" is also used for platonic love, but most of the time when people say it they mean romantic love and when they say it specifically in the context of dating, Then they're using the word wrong.

It's homophobic if a straight person says "gay people say annoying things" because it's bringing down gay people when they are already being oppressed in society... Aromantic doesn't mean anti-romantic. I'm not anti-romantic but the most anti-romantic things I heard was coming out of romantic people (I'm just speaking from experience). For example, the statements "love clouds people's judgment" "focus on school, not love" or "I don't care about valentine's day" "has came from people who are romantic... So everything that was mentioned here could also come out of someone who is romantic. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you think that's an over-reaction? If aromantics can list annoying things that romantics say all in good fun, why does it suddenly become "punchy" and petty when done the other way around? Also, "And if expressing my opinions makes me annoying then so be it" could apply to a romantic person just as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying, that first of all aromantics are oppressed in society? And secondly, any kind of romantics are not? I hardly agree with that. Heterosexual romantics certainly are not oppressed, but other types of romantics, especially if they're asexual on top of it, are just as "oppressed" as aromantics. In a lot of cases, I think people are more accepting of an aromantic person, than a homoromantic one, for instance! And what comes to the potential partners, all asexual romantics are at a big disadvantage, while aromantics don't even need to worry about partners in the first place.

King Al Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 There are many threads like this one on AVEN for annoying things that different types of people say. Petty or not, they exist and no one else is making a fuss, no one has locked them yet. Again, if you have a problem then report it. Link to post Share on other sites

Tatsuya Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 My catchphrase whenever friends start talking about their love problems is "I'm too asexual for this". I'm sure it's annoyed at least one of them by now. Link to post Share on other sites

It's historical ways in which people not wanting romantic relationships (e.g. aromantics) have been oppressed, yes. Some societies still oppress in these ways/similar ways. I am lucky in my country that I am not oppressed. That does not mean we all are so lucky. Link to post Share on other sites
