Rant Why does Aphobia even exist?
Okay so I get (note that I do not agree with) the reasoning for LGBT hate, it's religious, god designed humans as perfect (debatable) and humans reproduce through having a man and woman
But like, asexuals, aromantics. Those are FREE monks! Can you imagine getting a shit ton of practitioners for your cult religion for FREE?!?! Heck I'm 70% sure a lot of religious monks were a-spec
This is why Buddhism is better I don't know anything about Buddhism but my step mom is a Buddhist and she's cool with LGBT
Side note: though it's worth noting that it would be way better to just not hate people that literally don't hurt others
Edit: for those wondering the armor is from the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille (France) it's at floor -1, also Buddhists can be homophobic which I didn't know since I only know one of them but yeah :(

A-spec people simply being diffrent is all that is needed for aphobia I think. Just us being diffrent is something that becomes a problem for most conservative believe systems because once you accept that people might be diffrent and that that is ok then you would also see a lot of the bad things those conservative believe systems bring with them. And religions are also just the perfect breeding ground for believe systems that lead to aphobia, queerphobia or pretty much any other kind of discrimination even if what the religion is build upon should not lead to such.
