[ID: The first panel shows a little baby, labelled “Alloromantics learning aromanticism exists and is not a subset of asexuality,” in front of a chessboard and throwing its hands up in the air with pride. The second panel zooms out to show a huge buff robot whose head is a computer (totally filled with ancient wisdom), labelled “Aromantic allosexuals,” reaching down to pat the baby on the head.

[ID: The meme depicts “aromanticism,” written in the aro pride colours, stereotype vs. reality. The pic labelled “Stereotype” is in greyscale, showing a miserable person holding their head in their hands and going “I’ll never fall in love…” The pic labelled “Reality” is in vibrant colour, with a cool shark in the background, and shows a joyful smiling person wearing sunglasses, giving a thumbs-up, and going “I’ll never fall in love!” End ID.]

[ID: A cartoon goose akin to the one from Untitled Goose Game holding an aromantic flag in its beak running away from amatonormativity in the form of several police cars labelled “when will you finally get married?”; The One™, “just give love a chance”; soulmate AUs; “something more”; “you’ll change your mind eventually”; and romance subplots.

[ID: How to apply clown makeup in four steps. The first is white face paint, “I ask my aromantic child how their love life is going.” Next is the eye, cheek, and lip makeup, “I pressure them to answer me when they don’t have an answer.” Then the clown wig, “I tell them their singleness is wrong and prioritize my want for grandchildren over my child’s happiness.” In the final step, they put on their clown nose and say “I’m such a great parent,” and the transformation into a clown is complete.

The joke of amatonormativity is on all of us, and it’s never been funny. Here’s a brief primer on how and why, the interaction with racism & other forms of marginalisation, and Why Your Sex Positivity Needs to be Anti-Amatonormative: https://taaap.org/2022/02/21/sexposcon-poster-amatonormativity/
[ID: Three versions of the silent protector meme, saying “alloros think it be like either one of these” over the first two. In 1, “romance” protects “alloros” from “all problems in life” & in 2, “being aromantic” protects “aros” from “all problems in life.” The third is captioned “when it’s actually like this” and photoshopped so the silent protector, “aros,” is no longer in front of the happily sleeping child, “alloros,” and both are being pelted by “amatonormativity”.
