I think less people people would ID as asexual if they actually realized it means you're literally not attracted to anyone, ever. The problem is the definition of asexual gets so obfuscated to include people who absolutely are attracted to others, all in the name of having a quirky "marginalized" identity. Tumblr made it "cool" by giving it a name like "ace" and wrapping the identity in some infantalizing purple flag and packaging it as some oppressed minority that gets treated as bad as actual gay people. Out of all the rando sexualities that people make up, I hate asexual the most.
