It’s 100% fine if you don’t understand what queerplatonic relationships are, what they’re about, or how they differ from friendships. What isn’t fine, though, is insisting that because you don’t understand QPRs it means that they’re not real, that they don’t exist, and that people who are in them or want to be in them are “confused” or are “too foolish” to know that QPRs are “actually just friendships”.

If you don’t get QPRs, that’s fine! You don’t have to be in one or define any relationship you’re in as being queerplatonic, but what you don’t get to do is shit on people who DO find queerplatonic to be a useful term to describe their relationships or act like you’re more of an authority on their experiences than they are.

You don’t have to understand QPRs to realize that there are people who DO understand them and you don’t have to find the term useful to understand that there are people who do.
