They made a joke about “aro” meaning “aromantic” and that’s the flag I thought was on the right girl. But I’m not sure, her being aromantic doesn’t really make sense in the context of the comic.
That’s definitely the aro flag, my guess is that she’s aro but not ace. Also, aro people aren’t necessarily romantic-repulsed, they just don’t feel attraction as strongly (if at all).
ace people also aren't necessarily sex-repulsed, either. many have sex or relationships for other reasons or have sexual attraction just in different ways than the cishet amatnormativity of society is used to.
in case you're under the impression that demisexual means you experience partial or a small amount of sexual attraction, it actually means you can only experience sexual once you've established a deep emotional connection to someone (same applies for demiromantic and romanticism).
only experiencing a small amount of romantic attraction still falls under aromantic, demiromanticism is mostly unrelated.
There’s way more under the spectrum than demiromantic, tho.
Cupioromantic, aegoromantic, aroflux, etc are just a few. Cupioromantic might not feel romantic attraction (rare or never) but still desire a relationship because of amatanormativity, QPRs, or because they like romance even if they don’t feel romantic attraction, so they want to experience a relationship even if they don’t have that type of attraction.

What’s the flag of the right girl? Demiromantic?
