So like, sorry, this might be kinda tangential to your secret but it does feel really weird that the character who is VERY OBVIOUSLY made to be like, the platonic ideal of a tumblr sexyman is the character they decided to make aroace. Like they were very much trying to make tumblr girls horny for the deer man, they definitely knew people were gonna ship him with everything he interacts with, why not make ANY OTHER character be aroace and him bi? That seems like it'd work better with what they're obviously going for. I am genuinely confused about this.

Huhhhh, I mean, sexual orientation is something a person experiences internally, and it's not like he's a real person I would ever get together with, so... I could find him equally hot whether he's bi, gay, ace or straight? Well, he's not my type, but with other characters I've crushed on, it's not like they have to be potentially in my dating pool for me to enjoy the character? Why would him being bi make him more popular or more lusted after, lol?

I think AYRT is questioning why the creator chose to make the character who is the most potent shipping bait the ace one. Like, why didn't they make any of the other characters the ace one, why was it the one who is obviously going to be everyone's favorite blorbo/meow meow/bicycle.

I don't personally have an opinion on this. I don't really care that they made Mr. meow meow sexyman the ace one. But I can see where AYRT is coming from with this.

Maybe she did it to encourage fandom to get over it and ship aroace characters if they want to because there's no law against it.

Okay, I doubt that's why, but it'd be nice if that was the result.

I find it amusing. It also seems to be a reverse psychology thing since Alastor is easily the most sexualized and shipped character in the fandom. The ace aspect gives him a "forbidden fruit" appeal.
