==History==
The term was created by Dreamwidth user meloukhia on December 25, 2010, in response to a post entitled "A/romanticism" by another user.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://kaz.dreamwidth.org/238564.html?thread=1342436}}</ref> This is also the origin of the term [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]].
The term became well-known after WordPress user Sciatrix posted "My Thoughts on the Word 'Zucchini,'" a neutral to negative post on the term, on July 11, 2011.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://writingfromfactorx.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/my-thoughts-on-the-word-zucchini/}}</ref>
==Culture==
In July 2014, the first issue of the ''Rotten Zucchinis'' zine was released, edited by two individuals only referred to as "Omnes" and "Nihil," stylized as ''Omnes et Nihil''.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://acezinearchive.wordpress.com/ace-zine-list/general-ace-zines/rotten-zucchinis-the-zine/}}</ref> The zine includes general information about queerplatonic relationships as well as personal testimonies in essays and poems around relationships, with a general content warning for interpersonal violence and acephobia. Tumblr user rotten-zucchinis announced the release of the zine in their first post.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://rotten-zucchinis.tumblr.com/post/92603127310/the-zine-rotten-zucchinis-issue-1-is-now}}</ref>
Around November 2014, rotten-zucchinis released "Queerplatonic Zucchinis: A Short Primer: Asexual/Ace and Aromantic/Aro Language of Non-Normative Relationships," a more in-depth glossary than was published in the first issue of the zine.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://rotten-zucchinis.tumblr.com/qpp}}</ref> The second issue of the zine, focusing on the potential negatives of queerplatonic relationships, including interpersonal violence, was released in May 2015.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://acezinearchive.wordpress.com/ace-zine-list/general-ace-zines/rotten-zucchinis-the-zine/}}</ref>
==Flag==
The zucchini flag was created by FANDOM user [[User:Unfunny_person420|Unfunny person420]] on April 14, 2021.
The flag combines the colors of the [[aromantic]] flag and the queerplatonic flag. The green stripes represent the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]], and the pink and yellow stripes represent queerplatonic relationships. White represents the uniqueness of the relationship and the blurred lines between platonic and romantic relationships.
