It’s been commonly used by ace and aro (particularly aro and aroace) people who are neurodivergent and/or trauma or abuse survivors to describe an inability to form platonic partnerships or experience platonic attraction.
But it’s also been adopted by a lot of aro people to describe how they don’t develop squishes or desire QPRs.
The coiner said nothing about who can or can’t use the term or for what purpose, so I don’t really think it’s an issue.
I don’t think it’s wrong for people who don’t identify as ace or aro but who are neurodivergent or experienced trauma or abuse to use it, but it should be known that it was coined within the a-spec community. We did not ‘steal’ it.
hey science ppl why do my dreams seem more real than reality
There isn’t an epidemic of asexual people telling people not to show PDA at pride. There’s an epidemic of people making posts about asexual people doing that. There have been one or two posts from asexual people along those lines, but people are making it out to be a widespread issue when it’s not, and people are believing it and blowing it up more.
If someone wants to show me more asexual people genuinely being homophobic by saying not to do things like kissing/other publiclyappropriate PDA at pride to prove to me that there is this epidemic. Go right ahead. But until then, I’ve seen about 20 or 30 times the number of posts from exclusionists saying this is a widespread problem than people actually being homophobic about PDA.
Yep, in a partnership with young adult retail brand ASOS, Crayola now has a line of 58 vegan and cruelty-free beauty products,
which includes “face crayons,” mascara, highlighters, and eyeshadow
palettes. Shades, such as Tumbleweed and Dandelion, match the names of
actual Crayola crayons.
Elle notes
the collection is “gender fluid,” citing a press release about the line
from ASOS. They also note that both men and women are shown wearing the
product in the campaign’s photos.
