so, this post was linked on reddit’s “tumblr circle jerk” page because there is apparently at least on person with a reddit account who thinks this is a Very Serious SJW Post about the Valid and Real Identity of Large Dogs who are trans-small dogs or something.
I mean, people call tumblr a hellsite that believes in infinite chocolate but at least tumblr can recognize a joke about dogs.

I think the "aphobe" thing was about the queerplatonic relationships post? Though out of curiosity, why don't you think they're a thing?

Okay, I realize this is a delicate topic, and I’m sure this will offend some people - But that’s not my intention!!! I’m just … I’m just confused more than anything? Maybe I don’t have enough information or I’m missing something - in which case I would greatly appreciate it if someone would educate me please!!
I just… feel like it’s an unnecessary label? What they’re describing as a queerplatonic relationship is just… friendship? Like that’s just how friendships are? Like friendships - true friendships - are extremely intimate to the point where it falls into the category of a queerplatonic relationship. The various ways I’ve seen queerplatonic relationships be described is the same as how friendships are described. Its the same description?
I don’t know. Maybe I’m lucky for having all of my friendships be that intimate? Maybe yall got shitty friends so you’ve been conditioned to think friendship is something less than what it really is, and I think what happens is that you get a real friend, that treats you like you should be treated, and is more intimate than what you’ve known before, so you think “well, friendship is down here, at a less intimate and personal level, so what I’m experiencing now is more than a friendship, it must be a queerplatonic relationship.” but its not, that’s just how friendships are supposed to be.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m the odd one out for having all of my friendships be that intimate. Maybe I’m the odd one out for thinking that friendships are supposed to be like that.
If I am the odd one out and friendship isn’t supposed to be that intimate, then yeah, call them queerplatonic relationships! And if that is the case - then I guess I’m just good at having queerplatonic relationships haha
Hey, I just wanna clarify for you since a lot of ppl don’t know this about the idea of queerplatonic relationships:
Ideally, friendship and queerplatonic relationships would have the same label, but the reason many of us choose to use queerplatonic is not because we think our friendships are “special uwu” but because they’re currently not recognized legally or societally as equally important as romantic/sexual partnerships.
for example, a husband or wife has family visitation rights if you end up in the hospital; a friend does not. society expects a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse to come first before a friend. societally, friendships are seen as second to romantic/sexual/marital relationships.
obviously not everyone thinks of friendships as secondary to romantic etc. relationships, but it’s still a major societal problem. people don’t take your relationship as seriously unless it’s a partnership.
this is why some of us aro/aces have chosen to use the queerplatonic label for our relationships, not because they’re different from good friendships, but in an attempt to have them recognized as just as serious, binding, familial, and important to us as marriage or dating partnerships.
i hope this clears things up a little. i don’t think it’s omg aphobic to think queerplatonic as a term is unnecessary, i’m too tired for that discourse, but i thought you might appreciate an explanation. hope this helps!
Okay!! This makes a lot of sense now. I didn’t really think of the legal side of queerplatonic relationships.
I was thinking only about the social definitions of the relationship, y’know? But yeah legally speaking platonic partners don’t have anywhere near the legal rights that romantic / sexual partners have.
And I also see that a lot of - actually I think most of - the people that use the queerplatonic identifier are aro/ace, which makes sense as well, as they can’t/don’t want romantic or sexual relationships and so really the only intimate relationship that you’re left with would be queerplatonic. And, y’know, people often desire intimate relationships with people, regardless of orientation.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this!!

Examples of a Brocken Spectre, a phenomenon where a person’s giant shadow appears magnified onto clouds miles away. The shadow from the sun behind the person creates a halo, giving it an angelic appearance. This mostly occurs on any misty mountainsides or cloud banks, and can even be seen from aeroplanes.
