So much so, that the Greek gods had a policy of sentencing aroace people to death.

You ok?
Why did you ask this?
Because it’s an unhealthy take and seems to imply a misaligned internal compass. It was a sincere question, and I meant no offense in the slightest. Do you have someone there IRL to chat with on these and related notions?
Uh, I didn’t post this I just didn’t understand your comment and I seriously still don’t. Here is a the titular quote from the article:
Today, I decided to take the claim that the word “narcissist” is a Greek mythology reference seriously. And I find that if that’s the case, then the word’s original use is to insult someone as vain for not dating anybody. To say that if you’re aromantic or asexual, you deserve to die. It would seem that if the word isn’t an ableist slur, then it must instead be a queerphobic slur. Perhaps we asexuals could reclaim the slur as an ironic self-descriptor. Perhaps I could say, “Yes, I’m a narcissist. My queerness is so powerful it enrages the very gods.” But if the word is to be used as an insult, in reference to Narcissus’ refusal to be in a relationship, then it is a slur. Narcissus wasn’t an abuser, he was queer.
Why is it immoral? I don’t understand. Your comment comes across as like, at best, condescending concern-trolling.
Terribly sorry, I mistook you for OP. 🤗
Why did this article spark “are you okay”? I still don’t understand.
The article didn’t, in fact. On mobile, only the title came up and the lack of thumbnail made my morning brain read it as a non-sequitur that (as mentioned earlier) hinted at a possible cry for help. My concern was both genuine and heartfelt, and I’m sorry that your experience has taught you to assume the negative, but this isn’t that other place. 🐙
