arokaladin:

hey if an aroace talks about their experiences of asexuality and conflates being ace with being aro that’s not bad. It can be hard to tell which label affects what, and some people who experience no sexual or romantic attraction only id as ace anyway. The SAM isn’t universal. Basically if an actual aspec seems to be ‘confusing’ asexuality and aromanticism it is far far more likely that their aromanticism is part of their experiences with asexuality, or that they don’t distinguish between the two. Please don’t step in to ‘educate’ aroaces on how asexuals can ~still feel love~ since we know that already. We’re very tired of hearing it.
