Hot fucking take, but you know what? Designating aromanticism and asexuality as a “white people thing” is, in fact, racist.
To give in a example: I am hispanic. We’re stereotyped as being overly romantic and sexy, good “lovers”, seductive, always get married and have big families, etc. By saying that aromanticism and asexuality are only for White People™, you’re denying me agency over my own sexuality and romanticism. You’re saying that because I’m hispanic, that I have to be romantic, and I have to be sexual.
Labeling aromanticism and asexuality as a “white people thing” erases aspecs of other races and ethnicities- many of whom need extra support due to perceptions of romance and sexuality within their own cultures- and forcibly subjects them to harmful stereotypes. That’s racism.
Movie couple: Oh, no! The doctor says we can’t have children! Our dreams of a family are gone forever!!! We can never be parents!! If only there was some way to still raise children, but, alas, all hope is gone!! The tragedy!!!! The heartbreak!!!!
Me: Have You Heard Of This Thing Called Adoption
Oh my word, yes. Another pet peeve is when adoption is treated as The Last Resort. You can still adopt if you have biological kids. You can still adopt before you have any clue if you can have biological kids. You can still adopt REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WANT biological kids. Adopted kids aren’t a consolation prize.
👏Yes👏
The biggest response I’m seeing to this post is exactly that, people planning to adopt without trying for biological kids first. They’re just so excited to give a home and family to kiddos who need one, and it makes me little happier about the world.

Horror Game: “You can hide in closets”
All gamers, colour draining from their face as an instinctual, primal terror grips them: “WHY DO I HAVE TO HIDE”
my favorite thing about watching Outlast lets plays would be seeing the player get to the part where it tells you “press [button] to look behind you while running”
If cis dudes are gonna constantly write about those of us with boobs constantly fondling our chests, why not make it more realistic? She cupped her busoms in her palms as she examined her nude form in her full-length mirror is out, I slapped my tiddies like bongo drums as I bopped along to Fall Out Boy is in.

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.
Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.
