Seriously ppl need to stop making the kinds of anti-ace/aro posts that contribute to an atmosphere where ppl will feel justified doing shit like coming into our tags posting the vilest creepy hate.

Like if you do shit like try to convince people “ace tumblr” is Evil, that aces and aros here are horrible (which is not the same as pointing out problems in our communities the way you’d, say, point out racism in the feminist community)… if you do shit like compare us to Trump or paint us as gross and annoying for speaking about our orientations, and if you act like aces/aros are bad people and an embarrassment…

Then you directly help create the atmosphere where every other week (or more often) someone will tell us they want us dead/hurt, and where ppl will send us extremely graphic threats because they hate us “uwu pure aceys”

Like holy fucking shit why do you think it’s okay to demonize us and paint aces/aros overall as some kind of threat to literally every oppressed group?? Why do I have to tell white ppl to not go around being like, “lolol ace tumblr is so antiblack omg”.

Stop treating aces and aros as though we’re worse people than everyone else and as though we’re less vulnerable than other people. Aces/aros can belong to literally any oppressed group, and also we’re people
