Re: The Big Bang Theory/asexuality

TBH I never thought the show established him as asexual, so much as a stereotypically repressed nerd. I don't read anything in his character as really even indicating that the people writing it are even all that aware that asexuality even exists as a personal identity.

So in that regard I think people are projecting, and rather than a problem of erasure, I think the real issue when it comes to asexuality is just that there literally is nothing there to erase: Sheldon was "desexed", he was not "asexual", and the social attitudes and norms that equate sexual desire and the capacity for sex with "completeness" and "growth" and all that shit are more the problem than something as active as intentional erasure.

Wow that's a mess. I'm sorry it's so incoherent, it's been a really long day.
