eroticism of the machine this, eroticism of the machine that. what about the AROMANTICISM of the machine. what about the electric comfort of looking at a beautiful turbine engine and knowing that it is just like you. what about the urge to cut open your chest to prove your heart is made of wires and your ribs are made of steel. what about that

the MORE aphobia i see in fandoms, the more annoyingly in-your-face aroace i'm going to get. i aint gonna sit back and let aroace get erased, aphobia is literally just repackaged homophobia.

i'm sorry but this shit annoys me to no end. like this is about heartstopper and you all need to stop acting like that show invented everything.
fucking anyways
1. Koisenu Futari
Show that’s specifically made to be about aromanticism and asexuality as well as how aroace people are perceived by society. They are main characters. That’s the main plot.
2. Heartbreak High
Want a teen show with ace rep? No problem. One of the main characters is ace! Would you look at that! The representation already exists! It's got a ton of other rep too and it's on Netflix but somehow we never got that ace rep yet right? You don't even need subtitles for this one.
3. SkamFr (s12)
Is it a bit too much at times? Ye sure but you know what it also is? Another teen show where the main character is asexual that deals with asexuality as the main theme. And no you don't need to watch all those seasons before to get it.
4. Bojack Horseman
I didn't even watch this one but I'm aware.
5. Cherry Magic
Oh would you look at that a show with main mlm couple where one of the side characters is aroace? I mean surely it hasn't been done before.
6. Run On
You want some casual side character ace rep? Well here you go even kdramas have done it but I guess there just aren't any shows...
Honorary mention to Sex Ed for that one scene.

saw someone on here the other day say that we don’t need aromantic and asexual representation in media because that’s a “sanitized” identity like BITCH WHAT????? IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE ASPEC PEOPLE AS CHILDREN THAT IS A YOU PROBLEM.

They've captured the asexual experience.
Ace people clearly explaining they do desire some level of physical affection, but don't care/want sex. Then allo people too stuck in their own experiences to even try to accept and understand

"we need more aroace characters" actually we need more aro characters. like just aro because every time a character is aroace the aro part of their identity is conveniently forgotten

All the people erasing ace and aro rep because "asexual people can have sex"' and "aromatic people can want romantic relationships" is giving the same vibes as "they just haven't met the right person yet" or "I can change them"
(Quick edit: I want to make it clear that I do support ace and aro specs I just hate non-aroace specs who are just aroace being erased)

Other queercoded media shippers: They're gay!!
Author: No. (They're cishet and platonic and bros and I queerbaited for profit. They're gonna get wives now)
Ineffable fandom: They're gay!!
Our Lord and Savior Neil Gaiman: No. (They're so gay that the gay cancels itself out. They're lgbtqia in more ways than you puny mortals can ever imagine. Get trans'd)

Happy Asexual Awareness Week from the Tenth Doctor!! 🖤🤍💜 (quote)
Usually it's not a sexual thing with the Doctor. He's a fairly asexual character. –David Tennant (source)

Asexuals can just bring up the fact that there's very little authentic representation for us and that maybe we would like some more of it and someone in the notes will be like "omg why do you hate gay people huh why don't you want gay people to have sex why do you want to erase our sexuality" just say you hate asexuals and move on, jesus fucking christ
