Male character: I'm not attracted to women.
Fandom: Oh, he's gay.
Female character: I'm not attracted to men.
Fandom: Oh, she's a lesbian.
Any character: I'm not attracted to anybody.
Fandom: Well, we don't know that they're ace/aro/aroace. It's open for interpretation. They're not canonically ace/aro/aroace unless they specifically say they are.
Hmmmm. I wonder why we're so frustrated in fandom spaces. I wonder if there's a reason.
