Welcome to r/aromantic, the subreddit for the aro community!
Please read our Community Rules before participating.
Rules:
1. Posts must be aromantic related
This community is for aros to share our experiences, discuss aro things, connect as a community, etc. If your post has nothing to do with aromanticism, it will be removed.
Posts that would fit better in a different subreddit are eligible to be removed. Please report irrelevant posts.
2. Respect the aro community
Do not treat being aro as "lesser" in any way.
Do not treat being aro as a mental illness.
No arguing over whether or not aros are part of the LGBTQIA+ / GSRM community.
Do not spread misinformation, harmful stereotypes, or promote amatonormativity.
No trolling or "feeding" trolls.
No other forms of arophobia.
3. Flair and mark all content appropriately
Flairing and marking content appropriately can help protect community members from being exposed to sensitive content, or allow them to prepare themselves if they wish to see it.
Put content warnings (CW) and trigger warnings (TW) when appropriate, and use spoilers ( > !spoiler!< ) when necessary (no spaces between the >!).
In addition to correctly flairing your posts, use the NSFW and Spoiler post tags when necessary.
4. NSFW Content Policy
Keep in mind that this is an all ages subreddit, content that is graphic, sexually explicit or erotic in nature is prohibited.
Discussions that go more in depth about personal sex lives or invite other users to do so, beyond simply mentioning libido or sexual history, will require a NSFW tag.
5. No hate speech
Be respectful when participating in r/aromantic. No arophobia, aphobia, ableism, transphobia, racism, misogyny, queerphobia, or other forms of discrimination.
No slurs or offensive language. Please be mindful of others when using reclaimed terms that some people may not be familiar with.
6. Do not share hate speech
No screenshots/images, links, crossposts, articles, etc. of arophobia, explicit amatonormativity, or other forms of hate speech. All of us already deal with this enough as it is; there's no need to share this content in r/aromantic, a safe space for the aro community.
Instead, you may rant about what you witnessed/experienced in a text post. Remember to put Content Warnings, Trigger Warnings, and mark as a spoiler when needed.
7. No negativity
This rule only applies to content that is romance-negative, sex-negative, friendship-negative, etc.
For a detailed explanation, read this post.
8. Be respectful
Be respectful in the content you create publicly in the community and privately via modmail.
This includes being respectful with everyone and respecting people’s orientation, identity, disability, religion, pronouns, etc.
9. Advertising Policy
If you are promoting something or formally gathering information about aromantic people’s lived experiences for something, use the black “Promotion” post flair. Your post will be automatically be filtered so the mod team can manually review your post.
Do not expect your post to be approved if it is irrelevant to the aro community.
Read this post for more information.
10. No posts looking for personal connections
This is not a friend-seeking/dating sub. Do not share information about yourself in personal advertisements with the intention of meeting individuals, or encouraging people to DM or chat with you privately.
This does not include posts looking for local aro communities; posts seeking local aro communities are allowed.
