There’s Also A Thing That People Who Think They’re Being Accepting Do Where They Go “Not Wanting

There’s also a thing that people who think they’re being accepting do where they go “Not wanting romance is SO SAD AND LONELY! Not wanting to read romance novels is SEXIST! Not wanting a partner makes you a FREAK! Not having sex with your partner is BAD and ABUSIVE! Not feeling sexual attraction to your partner means there is SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!… unless you’re aromantic or asexual, of course! Then you get a pass.” The only acceptable reason to deviate from the amatonormative and sexnormative societal norm is to claim an identity label that exempts you. The actual thing you’re doing is still bad… but don’t worry it’s OK for you to do it! It feels like, we haven’t actually challenged any norms at all, you just get a pass on them because you can’t help it, poor thing. If you have the capacity to feel these, you have the obligation to; you are only exempt if you claim an identity that says that you are unable to. It implies that we would if we could, but we can’t, and it’s merely unfair to punish us for our shortcomings. Romance and sex are still social requirements, that hasn’t changed, we just are allowed a pass on it because we are unable to meet them. (And we’re still expected to reassure everyone that of course we recognize that their romance and sex is far more important than anything we will ever be able to have!)

I don’t want aros and aces to get special exemption from the requirement to have romance and sex and romantic attraction and sexual attraction; I want that to not be a requirement for anyone.

Does anyone have any Hizashi centric erasermic fics?

Aizawa vs Present Mic

POV Aizawa:

Why does a teacher like me have to practise combat? It's irrational. What, you want to see which one of us is the strongest? Fine, I may be tired, but I won't go easy on you.

I can stop your power from afar with Erasure, but if you get out a scream before I blink you might take me out. Given what I know, the most logical course of action is to get close while erasing your quirk, then to gag that loud mouth with my Binding Cloth.

You're as noisy as ever. If this were a real battle, villains would easily home in on your location, making you vulnerable to an ambush. You need to think more logically about when to use your quirk… argh, you're not listening to me, are you?

POV Present Mic:

Dang, it's been a hot minute since we sparred! Now that we're both Pro Heroes, Eraser, don't you want to see how much stronger we've become?! Get over here and fight!

We've known each other since high school, so I've had plenty of time to think of clever ways to beat you! First, I use my voice to throw you off, then I use your own Binding Cloth to wrap you up! I'll cover your eyes, and turn you into a mummy who can't erase my quirk! That's my jam, whadya think?

Your energy level is always dragging, Aizawa! You may be unconventional, but you're still a Pro. No one wants to be saved by a yawning, scowling hero. Come on! Drink in the good vibes! Learn to smile some, baby!
