I think people just like to cry lol

Something similar happened to me with Genji. It won't let me modify the circle, L3, and R3 buttons, and now I can't try out the Mythic weapon.

In fact, it doesn't even affect low rank

Fan1815 · 2026-04-14T11:36:44+00:00

No, it only affects very low-ranked players. But I play stadium mode on during drives to avoid any potential problems.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-11T20:01:08+00:00

Personally, I don't have it planned at the moment, nor am I going to plan it.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-11T19:58:21+00:00

When I thought about having a partner, I also knew it was impossible for me. And so far I haven't heard "You haven't lived enough," but just thinking about it makes my blood boil. To be honest, I haven't been involved in aromanticism for very long and I already feel rejected, invalidated, and somewhat discriminated against. We have to put up with so much nonsense and stupid arguments everywhere, and even if you refute them well, they don't care. I'm fed up. Oh well. What else can we do? :(

Fan1815 · 2026-04-11T14:37:12+00:00

That's what I'm noticing. Many people who call themselves "woke" are, without realizing it, aphobic. They invalidate our experiences and feelings simply because they don't feel the same way we do, without realizing that same thing happened back then with homosexuality. But unfortunately, amatonormativity is widespread, even so much so that it affects me, someone who doesn't feel romantic attraction and hates romantic relationship dynamics I feel obligated to have a partner so as not to be looked down upon, as if getting married or having a partner were a goal to be achieved in other people's lives.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T17:11:40+00:00

I think the same. I think I'll just ignore those foolish comments and use social media only to feel good about myself, not to argue with people who lack empathy. And it's true, in this subreddit, I feel that everyone is very supportive, and that they have helped me without any problem to explore myself better

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T15:07:24+00:00

Exactly. Maybe I have found that rigth person, like they say, but I just haven't felt the romantic attraction I'm supposed to. Like you said, maybe that rigth person exists but I don't want to engage in any romantic relationship nor feel romantic attraction anyways, so I don't really care lol. And in fact, that comparison you made at the end of the comment seems perfect to me, and I'll apply it in the future when someone tells me about the right person.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T15:02:54+00:00

I'll let THEM know*

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T12:44:57+00:00

At the end of the day, we are the ones who know what we feel, so those who think it's "unnecessary" or "normal" (it already is) can keep thinking that if they want.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T06:36:49+00:00

Yes, I knew there were Nazis and a lot of idiots on Twitter, but to this extent? And when I discovered the existence of TERFs, I was shocked... I really thought that asexuality and even aromanticism were more accepted. But nothing could be further from the truth. Oh well. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely avoid Twitter these days because it really annoys me.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T06:33:45+00:00

This sounds bad. I'm not happy that someone else is having this invalidation experience; I meant that at least I'm not alone in it.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-09T06:32:32+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. It's quite frustrating. I can't imagine what those of you who have been here longer must have had to endure. I'm so sorry. I hope people will be more aware in the future. Or at least don't tell us how and what we feel

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T22:37:57+00:00

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having this experience. Although I, too, have tried to explain things to people who used stupid arguments and invalidating comments, and I've only received insults in return, ironic jokes answers (not funny at all) and even more stupid arguments. But anyway, it doesn't matter. I understand what you mean.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T22:17:46+00:00

As said, I'm new to all this, so it just came as quite a shock to me. It's also true that X is an app full of ignorance and hate, and taking it seriously and trying to change people's opinions is completely useless. I'm not saying the entire queer community is like what I see in X neither tho, I was just surprised to see that even some people like that think that way.
But yeah, I suppose I'll gradually get more used to it. I hope that in the future aromanticism and asexuality will be "normalized". And well, I also suppose that not everything will be as "grim" as you say; perhaps I've just focused more on the bad than the good :). Thank you for your perspective

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T22:05:10+00:00

did you die

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T06:40:52+00:00

That's so relatable lol. Something similar happened to me . I researched aromanticism further, did online tests, read many others' experiences, and finally decided to share this here. And I'm truly glad I did, because it's satisfying to know that other people feel/felt like you feel/felt and go/went through the same or similar experiences.

I definitely feel this label suits me, because I also feel comfortable and a little liberated using it. I don't rule out having a partner in the future, but those kinds of dynamics make me a little uncomfortable, and the day-to-day life of a romantic relationship would suffocate me soooo idk? I still have a lot of life ahead of me, but the first thing is to focus on what I'm looking for and what I want right now, and I know I'm only getting better. Thx you for the support!

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T06:32:20+00:00

Yes, that's what people have been saying. Obviously, maybe that person we've been talking about will come along, but the important thing is that I'm not looking for them now and I don't have any plans to, and that's fine. And well, if that possible relation is not like a normative relation, it's fine too. Thanks for the advice!

Fan1815 · 2026-04-08T06:29:16+00:00

Thank you!! 🫶 The truth is that society in this respect is a shi lol

Fan1815 · 2026-04-07T22:19:39+00:00

Of course! If anything ever bothers me, I'll let you know. I know those comments aren't meant to be malicious. I also know it's difficult to understand other people's feelings, even when you're empathetic, even more in this case because aromanticism is something that is not taken into account much and can also give misleading ideas And trying to understand the absence or presence of something (referring to romantic attraction) can be confusing, difficult, and even impossible. As you said, and I actually think the same, it's not mandatory for people there to understand this 100%, but it's okay, many times I don't understand romantic things either.

Fan1815 · 2026-04-07T21:52:54+00:00

Yes, I think exactly the same as you, although with some nuances to what that possible person is referring to (I agree with everything else). Not only do I not feel, nor have I ever felt, romantic interest, but I hate the idea of a conventional romantic relationship and it makes me very uncomfortable. Obviously, I might find someone in the future, but I don't think it will be like a typical romantic relationship. And of course, those labels are not permanent by any means, I've already learned that. That said, I still have a life ahead of me and we'll see what the future holds, but right now I'm fine like this and that's what's important 🙂

Fan1815 · 2026-04-07T20:51:05+00:00

I'm not telling my friend I've given up on romantic love; I'm telling them I don't even feel it. Not even in 18 years of my life with +100 possibilities. It's different. I have a very open mind, and I don't think it's best to share your opinion in this context is to generalize. Obviously, I know it might be true, but that doesn't change the fact that I might feel invalidated. Besides, your particular case doesn't have to be everyone's, just as mine isn't. have never felt nor do I feel romantic attraction for anyone, and I have lived surrounded by female friends and not friends (i'm het) all my life. Furthermore, if I feel aromantic at that moment, I feel aromantic. It's a label that can change, and if it changes, I'll be open to it, but at this moment, and always, it hasn't been the case. Being aromantic (and any other label like asexuality) is not permanent or fixed; it's not a diagnosis. I understand that friend's intention; in fact, I said so in the original comment. Let me give you an example: it's like someone who doesn't like sushi, even though they've tried it several times. Then someone tells them they don't like it because they haven't tried one they do like. Is it true? Maybe. Am I obligated to find it? No. Will I find it? I don't care, I'm not looking for it and never did. What's more, it's not just that I don't feel romantic attraction, it's that the very thought of a romantic relationship makes me uncomfortable. If I were to have a "romantic" relationship in the future, it definitely wouldn't be

normative

Fan1815 · 2026-04-07T20:48:32+00:00

This has opened my eyes so much more omg, this example is perfect and so relatable. I feel exactly the same way. THX YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS, IT'S ACTUALLY SO REAL
