did you know that if you want to signify simultaneous inclusion of asexual people in general and aromantic people in general, you should use the flag for asexual people in general side-by-side with the flag for aromantic people in general? because the purple ace flag represents all aces, and the green aro flag represents all aros. the blue/orange aroace flag is great, but it represents aroaces, not everyone who is aro or ace. (and hell, even some aroaces like me prefer the individual aro and ace flags more, whether because we see our aro and ace identities as distinct, or because we just prefer green and purple.) if you're creating a space meant for aros and aces, if you're making a post about aro characters and ace characters, you need to include more than the aroace flag — you need the aro flag and ace flag individually. you can certainly throw in the aroace flag, because it serves a wonderful purpose for the aroaces who choose to use it, but you should include aroallo and alloace flags too. the aroace flag doesn't represent all aros and aces automatically.
