(Anonymous) 2016-05-16 04:23 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, exactly. I feel like I've heard about some sci-fi stuff supposedly having ace/aro characters, but it's just not the same as the mainstream stuff with a widespread audience.
No matter what genre someone likes, they can find a show, on a major network, with gay characters, that's well-known and popular enough that they can find plenty of other fans of that show to discuss it with. The same thing can't be said for ace/aro characters.
Yeah, exactly! And it's not like I begrudge LGB people their representation. I'm happy for it, I enjoy seeing it, and I would really love to seem more main characters being LGB in the future. But, as you say, a little bit of inclusion in the pop-cultural narrative should not be too much for ace/aro people to ask for. Yet it's often treated as though it is.
Yeah, me neither. Gay characters are great, I would love for there to be more gay main characters, and more gay characters where it's not a big deal and their entire storyline doesn't revolve around their sexuality. And like you said above, there are way more gay people than ace people so it would make sense that there aren't AS MANY ace characters, but ANY at all would be nice.
