Aphobe List FAQ:
- What is 'Aphobia'?

We define aphobia, or amisia, as anything that spreads hate or misinformation towards or about asexuals or aromantics

- Do you use blockchains?

Nope! We block those who tweet aphobia directly or retweet aphobic tweets only

We are happy to report that as of 15 minutes ago, the account has been restored! -🆔

[Jughead's Aphobe List @phobelist]

Hey everyone, this is the team from @aphobelist, we ended up taking an unofficial holiday break because @TwitterSupport suspended our account... again

Same tactic as last time. We've submitted an appeal but don't expect any actual results

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@cqdillc Asexuality is a queer identity, so if you're asexual and want to be queer/LGBTQ+, you can be, regardless of your other identities -🧜🏻‍♀️

[elle is trying so hard @scretladyspider]

Lotta hate going around for demisexuality right now. If you support demis, please say so. Or RT this, if you want. We are here. And we could use some support today, judging from what my search just turned up.

@thearrowace_ Of course. The issue with "acespec" is that often people use it to refer to aros, but as long as you explicitly acknowledge arospecs as separate, you're fine. -🧜🏻‍♀️

@thearrowace_ @HERMlTTWT This thread is a good breakdown of it -🧜🏻‍♀️

"Is aspec an autistic term?"

Recently, along with the "ace discourse" that started up a few years ago, this is a huge question that many people have had. So let's take a look at this.
[THREAD / please RT!!]
(scroll to end of thread for Google doc link with more details)

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@thearrowace_ @HERMlTTWT Acespec and arospec are used when only one is relevant rather than both, but aspec is still a term that covers both. It is not widely used for autism, and most autistic people don't claim it. -🧜🏻‍♀️

@peaceypooh Demisexuality is a form of Asexuality, where one experiences little to no sexual attraction

Specifically, Demisexual people may experience sexual attraction but only after a significant emotional connection

The OG tweet is wildly incorrect and strongly aphobic -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@aletamosquito @scretladyspider But they didn't block our second account 😎 -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@aletamosquito @scretladyspider They have us blocked -🆔

✨Asexual Cosplayers Unite✨

Asexuals come in many forms but we are all valid nonetheless. Tag some of your fav ace cosplayers or quote this tweet with your ace intro

I’m Sloan and I’m demiromantic asexual and very loud about it XP

[AVEN - Asexual Visibility & Education Network @asexuality]

We'd love to hear from ace activists and organisers in Asia and Africa if you haven't made contact with us yet. At present we're especially looking for aces in Sudan and Iraq. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

I just realized two weeks later that it's supposed to say "and not 'ace people are already accepted'"
���
That's a *crucial* missing word -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

Since ace discourse is having a second (?) revival on Tiktok I'd like to remind people that if the reason you hate ace discourse is because "it's annoying" and "aspec people are already accepted" people will assume you're aphobic -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

For those who haven’t heard of the “arobot” troll yet:
-🧜🏻‍♀️

[AphobeHottakes @AphobeHottakes]

"Remember when asexuals invented a slur for themselves?"

.....actually, yes. And I remember that tumblr shit post VERY differently

KW: "aphobic and proud" "just wanna be oppressed" "boring orgin stories" "know ur troll meme"

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

The people who claim that “ace inclus are bad too” never seem to understand that most of the “aces” they use as examples of how ridiculous and hateful we are, are/were trolls pretending to be aspec to make us look like that.

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

No, aces don’t think “virgin” is a slur.
No, aros don’t want to create the slur “arobot” and reclaim it.
No, we don’t go around saying “stop killing us!”

If you’re “neutral” because you dislike those things, consider why you’re so willing to believe the obvious trolls.

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@aroaces Someone recently spread a tumblr screenshot where an aro person wanted to 'come up with' a slur for them, arobot was the result -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@copdisliker1 Basically, even if you only mean 'cishet' aces, invalidating the queerness of one 'type' of ace or aro invalidates us all -🆔

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

@copdisliker1 Here's an old tweet of ours on this topic: https://t.co/sr6sKgE48W

[Tattletale's Aphobe Blocklist @aphobelist]

The reason we defend "cishet aces" so fiercely is that by using one's romantic orientation to invalidate the queerness of their sexual orientation or vice versa you are inherently invalidating the queerness of all Aspec people.
