A great video about how fandom really doesn’t know how to handle asexual characters in media and likes to sexualise them regardless. There is nothing wrong with this in the sense of exploring identity etc in fan fiction inherently as long as they don’t pretend that it’s ever going to happen in canon or shout down asexuals who would like some characters that are canonically like them for once.
Yeah, same. That and I feel annoyed if they don’t really get the character.
Being demi* I don’t mind sex or relationship stuff in stories but it has to feel organic and like they have a bond, or at least that’s how I prefer it but I feel like there’s many many many that aren’t like that (especially that it feels forced just because they had to have a relationship in there).
Oh yeah, I really hate that, I mean people can change their mind, even characters but often it’s not really shown that way and it’s disappointing because they fall for a character rather than it be how it would or could be in real life: self reflection. They often completely change what the woman is like too, it’s disgusting, all her personality gone often. There are better ways to do it if that is honestly their goal all along but mostly they probably just run out of ideas to keep the show going.
