Okay but here's the thing, though: for years, non-sexual affection was all gay people were allowed to have in media. It wasn't ALLOWED to have same-sex kisses or sex scenes or anything like that. We had to consider it enough because we weren't permitted to have any more than that.

So forgive us for wanting to be able to see the same things that het couples have been able to have in media without question for decades.

NAYRT - Fully agreed. But do forgive asexuals for wanting actual representation occasionally and not just assumptions based on "they didn't have on-screen sex so there". Both valid points.

Growing up with (any) media as an ace person is an interesting experience and one I could talk about for hours. You seldom find characters that Just Don't Want To Have Sex / A Sexual Relationship And That's Okay, Not A Disease. Where the implication of a romance exists, fandom will assume there is sex involved. It can be alienating. In short? Gay people and ace people (regardless of being gay ace or not) both deserve more (or better) representation.
