always inclusive never is inclusive more like exclusive

I watched the video.

I mostly agree with what this Youtuber says about Male CAS. It does often seem like an afterthought and there is definitely not enough basic masculine clothing.  As for the  "long feminine hair", that's where our opinions clash.  There are plenty of men with long hair like that (I know a guy...(s)). I believe the issue here is the Sim's head shape. Long hair just looks odd on that particular sim he created. It can look quite masculine on a different head shape. I know this because I use long hair on males all the time and I'm telling ya, they're manly man masculine.

As for the femboy and fundad situation, (what on earth is a fundad?!) - he's saying that you CAN already create those in CAS since  a lot of the male clothing is either gender neutral or feminine.

I don't really understand what all the above has to do with being aromantic though. What is the issue exactly?

Could you define "turn on" within the context of an aromantic relationship?  How does an aromantic "turn-on" express itself? Is that a sexual turn on, or  "merely" a feeling of love and appreciation? I could feel the latter for anyone that I have a non-romantic/non-sexual relationship with. A good friend, basically. As Egon already mentioned, Growing Together offers a social compatibility system.

 In your opinion: In what way should Sims that are aromantically "turned on" by each other, express themselves ? 

wrong  Lovestruck expanded love that include love friendship too plus growing together dont have turn on or off just because your not interest in romance dont meant you dont have turn on or off then it comes to friends

 you always get red and green flags then comes to friendships red and green flags doesnt just exist then you feeling a romance between people 

you get friend attraction just as much as you get romance attraction  the kind of attraction you feel when drawn to someone because you like that person and enjoy being with him or her or they, turn on and turn off is what drawn you to a person or not drawn to a person that makes you wanna talk to a person or puts off from a person and you dont wanna talk to the person at all

turns ons and turn offs are base a persons red and green flags they even said that in the game trailer then girl pretended she got a emergency call, she said good thing babe that was red flag after red flag

Hmm... Perhaps I'll bring out the definition here. I don't like I have to use that word, but it's the necessary evil it seems.

Let's Google "turn on" and we'll get:

turn on

1. start the flow or operation of something by means of a tap, switch, or button.
   "she turned on the TV"
2. [Informal] excite or stimulate the interest of someone, especially sexually.
   "if that's what turns you on that's fine by me"

Let's Google "turn off" and we'll get:

turn off

1. stop the operation or flow of something by means of a tap, switch, or button.
   "remember to turn off the gas"
2. leave one road in order to join another.
   "they turned off the main road"
3. [Informal] cause someone to feel bored, disgusted, or sexually repelled.
   "the idea just turns me off"

Notice the "especially sexually" part in turn on? Yep, the words "turn-on" and "turn-off" are mostly in the context of love and WooHoo. Not to mention The Sims 2 used the same words for traits that determine the romantic chemistry.

And as told I've mentioned and I'll mention again: Growing Together exists. They recently made it so that high Social Compatibility won't make it easier to romance the sim too.

Let me just say that thing said from the livestream.

Sims tend to interact more with sims they find attractive.

Plus yes, Growing Together doesn't have turn-ons and turn-offs, but it has a system that affects how easy is for sims to befriend each other. I've explained Sim Characteristics and Social Compatibility further here, but you can choose which characteristics your sim likes and dislikes and based on that, social compatibility is calculated.

But if you say that, then I think we'll see if the attraction still comes into play with sims that your sim isn't interested in romancing with. The Sims 2 did that sims going against the gender preference didn't elicit attraction at all, but for The Sims 4, I don't know right now...

there is only 2 out of 5 love languages add here if they add more to turn ons and turn offs then it would include everyone including  aromantic people.

Personally I'm aware of the definition of  turn ons/offs,  all I'm asking is how OP believes turn on/turn offs should be expressed within the context of aromatic relationships. I am (and I doubt others are) still none the wiser however and I agree with you that Growing Together seems to have that system in place already. 

It's impossible for me to understand what exactly the issue is if it's not clearly explained to me/us by the person who has an issue with it, so I'm going leave it at that.👍🏻🚀
