It counts as sexual orientation due to being related to such (no sexual attraction which is indeed an orientation- similiar to how gay people may be attracted to only dudes or bi people may be attracted to both).
Aromanticismn meanwhile is a romantic orientation and is thereby different!
One can have different romantical and sexual attractions, really- depends from person to person.
In general it is really not as talked about as it should be- often because the victims tend to not speak out about such and aces and aros tend to be a āminorityā in the community of sorts- i also simply like to explain matters in a way that others may understand and may hold more āFlem explainsā topics if i ever feel like such, i simply like to inform and educate :3
in the first sentence they donāt mean that people misunderstand asexuality as being a sexual orientation, they mean that people misunderstand what it means as a sexual orientation or perhaps donāt understand that it really is one, or so i think
So was that ānot a sexual orientationā part mainly targeted towards peopleās views on aromantics rather than asexuals? That was the only part that confused me since I see asexuality as a sexual orientation and then you say it isnāt and then you say it is
It is not ment as āit isnt a sexual orientationā but ment as "misunderstood as orientation- apologies if such was unclear, english is not my main language
You dropped this, matey 
Now honestly Iām damn impressed this thread hasnāt gotten nuked already.
Im honestly quite impressed as well, i expected a few of the usual shenanigans usually found on the forums
Well you are my new lord and savior (Iām making a religion around you, suffer as a prophet)
Please do read the āi will flag what is not appropiate/strays off topicā in the original post- i desire to keep this civil.
First, ok and? Second, I am gon become Immanuel Kant with the āhow do you understand inapropriate?ā classic.
Basically, things that happen to not apply to the forum rules (i.e. straying off topic with memes) or starting stuff- pinging two people well known for starting arguments seems a bitā¦ problematic.
Unless they can handle themselves, of course, but we shall see.
Weāre literally in the off topic category.
Aight someones gonna get their 100 k galleons today
the category is just for creating topics unrelated to arcane odyssey, each topic has its own theme that is expected to be adhered to within the replies
Ok let go bac to topicc. So uh, in my personal opinion asexuals are just kinda random, I aint got a phobia for yall. And how unexpected, a community meant to spread love, as Loki once said, is āassaultingā their own allies just because instead of liking everyone, they like no one.

Ok now we just gotta get optie summoned and weāre ready
ā¦i do seriously hope both optie and the other lad decide against starting stuff, especially seeing as heavier topics (like mentioned in the CWs and TWs) were discussed and that is not really a good place to start arguments.
itās bad practice to take a few and label them the entirety, the majority of the lgbtq community is actually supportive of asexuals
are you saying the lgbtq community is going to fall apart because of this
