straight people: bromance
straight people: because you know what there needs to be a word for? straight men's platonic, nonsexual, completely no-homo, special relationships with each other. you can't call them mere friendships.
aromantic and asexual people: *come up with terms to refer to their own actual platonic and/or nonsexual intimate relationships because a society centered around hetero romance and sex gives them no language to describe themselves*
straight people: you can't just make up words. just say friendship.
