I never said that ace was the same as aro, but my wording was a little misleading, and for that I must give my apologies. My original intent was to distinguish between route choice, romantic possibilities, and the ensuing presence or lack of any NSFW content; but I did not want to get too long-winded there, and perhaps bit off more than I could chew by trying to do so. I have edited the response to focus just on the implications of the route choice itself.

To be fair, ace and aro people have needed to act more aggressively defensive as their default. So many others assume that they are the same, or that it is an insignificant distinction and an insignificant/invisible minority of the queer community, that you were right to say what you said and reveal that flaw in my statement. I only know the difference because I am on the ace spectrum myself, and that knee-jerk reaction is correct in more cases than not. Keep fighting, we need that perspective.
