Saying ace and aro are the same thing is like saying brown hair and brown eyes are the same thing.

Yes, they have some similarities.

Yes, some people have both.

But they’re very, very different. Neither is a prerequisite to the other. Neither is an umbrella term for the other. People can have one without the other.

They are different things.

EXCUSE ME??? EVERYBODY??? PLEASE LISTEN TO OP THEY HAVE A VERY VERY VALID POINT

I dint even understand how you can even think they’re the same like how???

THANK YOU

When I was first learning the terms, I did struggle with this a little. It’s super obvious now for me, of course. However, society doesn’t differentiate between romantic and sexual attraction, they treat them as one and the same. Once you learn they are different and are individual things, everything starts making a lot more sense.

This is why these terms need to be talked about!!

    People do use them as umbrella terms for the other because the history of both was centered in on forum on the internet...
