I mean, maybe that's true vis-à-vis aro-aces-though, technically, any alloromantic ace is going to be "more palatable to Straight people" than an aro-ace-but I don't know if that's really true in general. I saw someone on Twitter basically say that a certain character from a book, who was aro-ace only by Word of God, had been "straightwashed" because "cis heteroromantic aces are more palatable to Straight people."
