Reasons I am sick of asexuality and aromanticism being smushed together:

1. Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are entirely different things
2. You can be sexual but not romantic
3. You can be romantic but not sexual
4. Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are not the same thing
5. Treating everything as an aroace problem ignores allosexual aromantics but also ignores alloromantic asexuals
6. It often throws aromantics under the bus for not feeling love
7. Allosexual aromantics are extremely under-representated
8. Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are not the same thing
9. It creates a lot of confusion around the differences between sexual and romantic attraction and how they can differ
10. SEXUAL ATTRACTION AND ROMANTIC ATTRACTION ARE NOT THE SAME THING SO THE PROBLEMS ONE IDENTITY FACES CANNOT BE GENERALISED TO THE OTHER
