Arophobia is the fear and hatred of all people who are on the aromantic spectrum and/or express their aromanticism. Arophobia encompases any belief which posits alloromanticism as superior to aromanticism. Basically, it’s homophobia, but instead of with homosexuality, it’s with aromanticism.
Reasons for Arophobia[]
Arophobia is usually caused by the belief that not feeling romantic attraction is not human. In other words, arophobes think that romantic love (not to be confused with platonic love) is a part of human nature, and that aros just need to find the right person, or that we are mentally ill. Aromantics are not mentally ill or broken!
