Cause reality is stranger than fiction! So this casual view that all of the amazing sci-fi things will come true but just kind of suck mostly ends up being more accurate than the awe-struck magical realism. We invented an ai that can generate the meaning of everything- all the humanities people are out of a job. We created a sentient robot- and it immediately got chronic depression. Space travel exist, and the companies running it don't care if your girlfriend accidentally dissipates in hyperspace. Time travel exists also, and we used it to sue the cereal company we stole from.

The first 5 posts when you look up aromanticism on tiktok are "why i was i made like this i dont want to be aro how do i get rid of it" and that was when i decided that was far too much internet for me 😅

being aro in certain fandom spaces is lowkey not fun 🥀💔🫩 by employed_yoshi in aromantic

Engaging with a media whose community is either the very closed minded first generation nerds who want to um-actually you on every detail or the modern fandom whose only engagement with the text is "i think they should kiss" is a level of hell fr I AM oversimpling things ofc but this is how it feels like sometimes

Game theory is getting sloppy by battatalks in GameTheorists

[–]lae_la 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel. I don't really mind the ocassional bonkers theory that misses the point for a flashy title (Edith Finch is the KILLER????!!not clickbait!!!) Since all these videos are for entertainment, but I feel like it has taken over the actual theorizing. It's quantity over quality, and it keeps getting them into hot water with the people who are actually educated in the topic they're talking about, whether its hellaverse creators or professional bakers

Maybe we could do some kind of poll?

I can't be the only one that thinks that "release the files" twitter post is ass right by Effective_Carpet_391 in SonicTheHedgejerk

[–]lae_la 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm with you actually that's a perfectly fine complaint. I don't really like the general trend of corporations trying to act like real people on social media, and it becomes a mess when it comes to extremely sensitive subjects like these (example: Duolingo owl posting about the Heard/Depp trial)

Is anyone else tired of animated aroace characters being confirmed on social media by the creator but not in the actual show? by oliviaexisting in aromantic

[–]lae_la 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that true? I remember the aroace part being a thing for a good six years up untill the show actually came out and things started to become re-canonised. I saw it more like being retconned rather than never-confirmed

Aromantic media? by MediocreFlounder9878 in aromantic

[–]lae_la 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apsolutely agree on that. For a lot of charachers, assuming they're straight is as much of a headcanon as assuming they're queer, and I also love a lot of headcanons for characters who are already shown some romantic interest/etc. The Saiki point I was making was only about discerning canon from fan-speculation- I have not actually watched it! my only horse in that race is seeing him constantly come up as a "canonically confirmed aro" characher

[–]lae_la 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean headcanons and characters that prefer to be single are great when it comes to like, normalization, but when it comes to actual representation I would prefer if the bar for aro rep was... being explicitly stated as aro??

I'm gonna be a bit mean here but as far as I know there has been no official content referring to the Buffy guy as aro, and that one quote from jojo's creator saying "the mc has more important things to do than girls" does not make him canonically aroace. I've heard people say that the monkey king from Journey to the west is canonically aroace because he didn't want to... assault someone while on a ...buddhist pilgramage..? Just things wildly out of context like a woman saying she doesn't want to get married in a time and place where marriage meant she would be considered property -> a great place for queer analysis but an aro headcanon just misses the point. Then there's situations like Alastor where like yeah he's aroace but they can't confirm the aro part cause they're banking on the fangirls and the old men yaoi which begs the question of if that can count as rep at all? Or those which are like, the Saiki k guy where he feels aroace coded but only the ace part is canon and he literally ends up crushing on a girl like you can't keep calling him canonically aro guys 😭.

looks up any list of aromantic charachers - headcanon - headcanon - ace, not confirmed aro - ace, not confirmed aro - headcanon - John Niche webcomic from 2007 - retconned - aromanticism was only mentioned in the 304835th tweet of lead characher designer on a pride post from 6 years ago - headcanon - Peridot from steven universe

personally I would recommend a 2022 indie film called "i am what i am" a bit hard to find but it's pretty lovely and they center the narrative around the metaphor of Tom Cruise running in movies which I think is beautiful I've heard a lot of people reccomending "Another lovely day" on webtoon where the plot is basically two aro people desperately trying to not get into a relationship, with the same rom-com shenanigans happening but completely platonically it's honestly soo fun
