The idea of a romantic attraction, while I don’t judge others romantic attraction; I hadn’t always been directly attached to romantic dates. As I was beginning to discover myself, I went from deciding on being a demi-sexual, to then realizing I was more of an aromantic type. I had been made fun at for not going on dates, but not everyone was arophobic towards me and meet some nice and accepting people, after coming out as aromantic publicly.
lemmy.ml mod banned them from their server for ‘gatekeeping’, and removed their comments. I’m actually impressed, mainly because I got a mixed response to being aromantic on Lemmy, which I wasn’t really expecting given how LGBT friendly the Fediverse on other platforms is known for being. But this is mainly based off of two users, one on each aromantic related community. But still. 50/50 reception over all so far.
