In sociology we talked about mainstream versus subgroup culture and we talked about examples of mainstream culture, what's popular and controlled by people with societal power and sub groups that aren't as popular.
Romance and sex are very mainstream. Like VERY. And the lady in the video my teacher showed us said something about the soup is boring when one flavor takes up to whole thing and I agree. Like life is so boring when people make it all about romance. There is so much more. Like ascetic attraction. Platonic, familial, sensual, I'm sure there's more than that but that's what I can think of in the top of my head.
Imagine if all of those were more mainstream. Life would be so much more interesting.
Like sometimes I get so annoyed by all the romance everywhere I wanna leave this world. Not like in a suicidal way but like I wanna open a portal to another universe where romance is either a subgroup or simply just doesn't exist. Like at all. It's not even a thing. (Oh that would make a great story. I might actually write that but I have so many story ideas and WIPs)
Like sometimes I just need a break ya know. I'm tired of this flavor I don't even like this flavor, give me something new or different.
The more romance I see the more I get tired of it and the more I hate it. Like I use to be romance neutral and now I feel like I'm romance repulsed. Not necessarily in the same way as I am sex repulsed, sex actually makes me feel gross and sick like ew, but romance it's more like it makes me upset or angry or sad and I hate it or find it gross like cringy and weird and cheesy not gross makes my stomach sick.
Like it didn't use to bother me this much but looking back on my life I see the slow change of how I went from
"Romance is everywhere and not thinking about it at all—why is romance everywhere?—oh I'm aroace. And romance is everywhere. Oh well I can ignore it— okay wait romance is really everywhere that's annoying— romance is everywhere what the heck? I hate this— 😭😭😡😭😠I'm tired of this, I hate it"
Anyways that's all I have to say, thanks for listening and I hope you all have an amazing day/night. Take care 💚💜
