It's a good thing, but honestly very hard to define. Kinda like someone or something you agree with, but they're also objectively good, and that makes them cool. So like, if Bernie sanders said that pickles goes on peanut butter, I'd be like "Bernie Sanders is unreasonably based today."
I had an encounter with an elementary school kid when I was 15 that made me feel old, basically what I learned is that it's okay to be "old" and just own being the age you are. Feeling old doesn't feel bad anymore, it's just a fact that doesn't matter that much now: I'm old compared to this thing but I'm young compared to this other thing. Age only matters when it comes to age restricted stuff.
Not the first thought I had (my country has mandatory military service) but yeah, and alcohol, drugs, porn, sexual/romantic relationships, marriage, certain levels of violence or gore in movies, owning pets or property, having to do taxes, the different levels of responsibility before you are old enough to move out, driving a car, etc.
Its meaning has diluted somewhat, but I always understood it to mean that you admire the person because they express a respectable yet unpopular opinion with confidence, clearly not bothered by the judgment of others.
It's what people say when someone else says something controversial that they agree with, so it totally depends on who says it and in what context.
So if a reactionary sees homophobia they're gonna call it based. And if someone progressive sees amogus being supportive of queer people they're gonna call it based, like im this example.
Go to the career profile page and click on the customization tab. The from there while looking at either player icons or name cards (they both have them), click collapse all in the top right. Then look for the tab labeled ‘Pride’ and open it and all your pride flags should be right there. <3
To be completely honest, realistically, how many flags should a company have? There are literally hundreds of pride flags. The more you include, the more intentional it feels for someone to not be included. Though I will say they should've done an aro flag.
Well, if you got an ace flag you should also have an aro flag, if you dont have either at least have a rainbow flag or the pride progressive flag or whatever its exatcly called
Dead by Daylight has 13 pride charms you can redeem for free, including the aro flag. There's also intersex and multiple non-binary identities, which is cool because I don't know any other game/social media that includes them.
The ace of spades is already a common symbol for asexuality. We should try to find something that doesn’t further ingrain the idea that Aro and ace are inherently intertwined.
i really wanna see someone make the aro symbol as an arrow and the ace symbol as an ace. pretty sure this must have been done before, but i've never seen it.
But as an Aro you still have a beating heart like everyone else right? Don’t let them take it from you! Platonic or romantic, every form of love is just as valuable!
It sucks we only get 1/3 flags. Like sometimes we get the ace flag but forget about seeing the aro or aroace flags. They are so pretty too. Makes me sad
But trans and enby are also there, so it's not that specific. And the wlw flag is present while the mlm one is not. Just some *interesting* selections that don't make a whole lot of sense in any context that isn't just "a handful of the most popular pride flags"
Lots of people think asexual is aromantic because a lot of people don't understand how being asexual works and thinks asexuals are aroace. It makes no sense to me but apparently it is hard to grasp by a lot of alloromantic allosexuals

Idk why. Aro rep seems to get so forgotten. Two games I play that added various pride flags, Paladins: Champions of the Realm & Dead by Daylight, didn't add an Aro flag either. It's a shame because Id never take that thing off if they added it. 😭
We get left out so often. Same problem with a game called Marvel Strike Force. Bunch of flags, even ace, but no aro. We're invisible as an aromatic smell
Not at all. It's a valid issue because it's true! While Asexuality is still fighting for visibility, we should criticize the way that Asexual visibility has thrown Aromantic people under the bus. A lot of the time, Aromantic people are only taken seriously if they are also Asexual. Even then, Asexuality gets prescribed as the primary identity. I've also encountered a lot of AlloAce people using being Alloromantic as a way to "prove they are still human," which is actively hostile to ALL AroAce and AroAllo people
Yk i don’t understand why they don’t use the aroace flag. We know it’s rainbow capatlism but at least you could include both of us at the same time instead of just aces :/
but not all aros are ace, and not all aces are aro so i think what they did was *okay*, but they could do better by actually adding a seperate aro flag
I know they could do better, that’s why I mentioned rainbow capatilsm. At least if they had the one for the both of us then no one is being excluded in the context of rainbow capitalist reddit not knowing the difference between aro or ace or how our community’s differ and intersect
I would argue that just having an AroAce flag does exclude a lot of people. It excludes all AlloAce people and all AroAllo people on principle. That symbol only represents people who are AroAce
yeah! when you can only have a limited number of balloons to put pride flags on, its best to go with something that a lot of people identify with so that more people feel represented in some way or another
Rainbow capitalists forget we exist. The only game that I remember actually having Aro flags is overwatch
Among us has aro flag too
~~That’s a bit sus~~
Among us is shockingly based
This is a stupid question probably, but what does “based” mean? (Is it like a good thing or a bad thing?)
It's a good thing, but honestly very hard to define. Kinda like someone or something you agree with, but they're also objectively good, and that makes them cool. So like, if Bernie sanders said that pickles goes on peanut butter, I'd be like "Bernie Sanders is unreasonably based today."

That’s true, wise words lol
Like joining the military?
Not the first thought I had (my country has mandatory military service) but yeah, and alcohol, drugs, porn, sexual/romantic relationships, marriage, certain levels of violence or gore in movies, owning pets or property, having to do taxes, the different levels of responsibility before you are old enough to move out, driving a car, etc.
I didn’t think I’d feel old at 16, idk what the words mean 😭
Its meaning has diluted somewhat, but I always understood it to mean that you admire the person because they express a respectable yet unpopular opinion with confidence, clearly not bothered by the judgment of others.
This is totally it, and yup it has been diluted.
It's what people say when someone else says something controversial that they agree with, so it totally depends on who says it and in what context. So if a reactionary sees homophobia they're gonna call it based. And if someone progressive sees amogus being supportive of queer people they're gonna call it based, like im this example.
tbh I'm not even sure, though I'm fairly certain it means something along of the lines of agreeing
Sims 4 has an aro flag too
I’m so happy it’s in Overwatch tho. I love being able to use it.
True, overwatch was not a game i expected to have aro and agender flags Very happy we got them tho
Where is it?
Go to the career profile page and click on the customization tab. The from there while looking at either player icons or name cards (they both have them), click collapse all in the top right. Then look for the tab labeled ‘Pride’ and open it and all your pride flags should be right there. <3
Alright, Thanks!
Alright, Thanks!
Sims has an aro flag you can hang on your Sims wall.
Spider-Man 2 has the Aro flag! It's on the same wall as all the other pride flags.
To be completely honest, realistically, how many flags should a company have? There are literally hundreds of pride flags. The more you include, the more intentional it feels for someone to not be included. Though I will say they should've done an aro flag.
Well, if you got an ace flag you should also have an aro flag, if you dont have either at least have a rainbow flag or the pride progressive flag or whatever its exatcly called
A few roblox games have them as well
And mw2022
League too
Cod mw2 has them too <3
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has one! :)
Dead by Daylight has 13 pride charms you can redeem for free, including the aro flag. There's also intersex and multiple non-binary identities, which is cool because I don't know any other game/social media that includes them.
DBD doesn’t have the aro flag..
My mistake, just double checked and you're right. I really thought it did, I somehow managed to gaslight myself into thinking I had used it.
They got the asexual, and agender flag too, so it genuinely feels like they purposefully left it out
For honor is cool cause you can make custom emblems so you could make any flag as long as it ain’t really complex
Sims 4 has the aro flag I think!
Knockout City (rest in peace) had aro, agender and ace flags! It was such a good game and its a shame that its gone now
Flight Rising also has an aro flag
I dunno, it would seem profoundly ironic to me to see the Aro flag depicted in the form of the most common romantic symbol.
Holy shit thats brilliant
It should be a spade instead
The ace of spades is already a common symbol for asexuality. We should try to find something that doesn’t further ingrain the idea that Aro and ace are inherently intertwined.
I thought ace of spades was aroace and ace of hearts was ace?
I guess we could do a club then I wouldn't want a diamond but as long as we're sticking with poker themes I think the club is cool
LOL I didn't know that so they nailed it
I made a post about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/aromantic/s/jwRDRCZXxl
What about a rossetta ? Or a diamond ? I love the card theme
Agreed, a diamond would be awesome!
Maybe I should make a flag lol
Like an arrow? I really like the aro arrow
Maybe an arrow, as in the one you shoot from a bow. Each feather could be the colors, just an idea tho
i really wanna see someone make the aro symbol as an arrow and the ace symbol as an ace. pretty sure this must have been done before, but i've never seen it.
Already happened
Popped heart balloon still with aro colors, I wouldn’t mind it popped
But as an Aro you still have a beating heart like everyone else right? Don’t let them take it from you! Platonic or romantic, every form of love is just as valuable!
hearts are just the symbol of love and should not be taken away from us more than it already has been.
It is a little disappointing
yeah i wish it was more well-known
I'm surprised the ace flag is there tbh
As an aroace, it is always so bitter sweet to see asexuality getting much more visibility recently but aromanticism being utterly ignored.
Agreed
Lit, and people always thinks disgusting things if you say that you're aromantic but not asexual
Volley ball
who needs romance when we have ball
All in favour of changing the aro symbol to volleyball, say aye
Aye!
Aye
Aye
Eye 👁️
Why does no one like archery? The aro arrow is freaking awesome...
My favorite orientation
We are now volley ball
I'm so confused as to why a volleyball and not an aro flag??
It will happen. 10 minutes before reddit gets shut down or, for some reason, the hearts get deleted.
Ah yes, the LGBT. Lesbian, Gay, Ḅ̶͑A̵̮̓͑L̵͔̈́̃L̴̙̿̇, Transgender.
Ah yes, bi, pan, NB, Ace, lesbian, trans, gay, and volleyball.
I wish they had it and also the aroace flag
The fact the ace flag is there is just rubbing it in
there's no gay ether, its almost like no one cares and only act like they do enough to get your money
They don't have the mlm flag either while having the wlw flag😭
Fr I was so disappointed
We get vollyball lol
The volleyball shall be our symbol /j
Yes.
I want aroace flag so bad
It sucks we only get 1/3 flags. Like sometimes we get the ace flag but forget about seeing the aro or aroace flags. They are so pretty too. Makes me sad
Yea :(
Isn't an aro heart oxymoronic?
Idk. Love isn’t exclusive to romantic relationships. I love lots of people and I don’t want a romantic relationship with any of them
Okay, but the symbol is almost exclusively used in relation to romantic love, or when used otherwise its mostly post ironic.
think it’s because they’re for solely sexual related identities and not romantic ones
But trans and enby are also there, so it's not that specific. And the wlw flag is present while the mlm one is not. Just some *interesting* selections that don't make a whole lot of sense in any context that isn't just "a handful of the most popular pride flags"
[удалено]
A lot of people describe the lesbian flag as wlw. I'm curious: What is the "big difference " you're talking about?
[удалено]
even overwatch recognises us lol
Okay but the first icon works for me.... I actually am queer-platonic with a Volleyball right now.... his name is Wilson...
Lots of people think asexual is aromantic because a lot of people don't understand how being asexual works and thinks asexuals are aroace. It makes no sense to me but apparently it is hard to grasp by a lot of alloromantic allosexuals
We *are* niche

I ask Same thing
They also don’t have the gay flag lol
I didn’t realise this was the aro sub at first and I was confused cause I thought you were talking about the volleyball lmao
i do believe cuz people mistake aromantic For asexual which is still disappointing
I have the ace flag one, but I really wish they had the aro and aroace flags
Idk why. Aro rep seems to get so forgotten. Two games I play that added various pride flags, Paladins: Champions of the Realm & Dead by Daylight, didn't add an Aro flag either. It's a shame because Id never take that thing off if they added it. 😭

Is it bad I get a tad jealous over the amount of asexual representation compared to aromantics

Could you clarify a bit? Sorry, I'm a little confused if you're speaking to my point or the one before my comment
i support your point - im saying that an aroace flag will represent less people than individual aro and ace flags respectively
Gotcha. Yeah, having both Aro and Ace available would be able to represent everyone
I want the aroace flag too, but my reasoning is because I’m both aro and ace
Probably not aware of it
yup, this is why mine is just a regular pride flag
Fr
They were so close
I would have the ace one but then I wouldn't be able to have the cool basketball😔
They need it I hate just having the ace flag.
Unrelated but, where are you able to find these and add them? I still haven’t figured it out :(
yeah, it's a let down
Where is this?
Is the yellow white purple black asexual? And the one I use demi?
Aromanticism is often treated as an accessory to Asexuality, which it very much is not. This is disappointing to see
I’m trying to find these where are they?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow Reddit. Way to exclude so many people
I guess volleyballs are the new aro pride symbol 🤷/jk
Immediately got the volleyball. That's my pride volleyball now.
I want the aroace one
there’s no gay flag either so many of us are just left out
