theaceandaroadvocacyproject: We are ending our week of exploring the aspec umbrella with Voidpunk! Voidpunk is a bit different in that it’s not an orientation - its a subculture in our community for those who have been dehumanized and villainized. Aces and aros are often told that it is love and sex that “make us human”. Voidpunk was coined by an aroallo person who was especially dealing with the stigma that comes with experiencing sexual attraction without romantic attraction. Voidpunk is not ace/aro specific, and is for anyone looking to reclaim their dehumanization.Voidpunk leads us into a week of looking into various intersections in the ace and aro communities and the additional struggles that some aces and aros face.

In the upper right is the TAAAP logo, in the upper left is a black robot, in the lower right is an alien creature, and in the lower left is the voidpunk flag. The text from top to bottom reads “Voidpunk. Invented by an allosexual aromantic person as a reaction to the dehumanization alloaros frequently face. Reclaims that dehumanization by relating to non-human objects and entities such as robots, cryptids, aliens, and eldritch beings, and through an aesthetic. Can be used by anyone who faces dehumanization, including but not limited to queer people, neurodivergent people, people with disabilities, BIPOC. Vodpunk was created by Tumblr user arotaro.” End ID] -- source link
