Re: Asexuality in the TV show Sirens

The problem is we are in the era of inclusivity where shows get praised for that shit just for mentioning less visible minorities at all. We have come far enough as a society where producers can/do get shit from the general public for a harmful or idiotic representation of a gay character, but sexualities that are seen by the majority as "deviant" can still be misrepresented or used as a cheap excuse for villainy (or in conjunction to villainy just to illustrate mental anguish, because as well all know, not being heteronormative always equals mental anguish).

CSI has some of the best examples of this to date. In their entire run they managed to have villains who were: furry, into non-consensual age play (baby/parent, diapering etc), a dominatrix, an MtF woman who was performing illegal sex reassignment surgeries, a latex enthusiast, a foot fetishist...

Oh and to top it off, one of the main recurring antagonists was transgender man.

I know. It's really frustrating.

I caught a few minutes of some show my sister was watching the other day where a married couple was into bondage and were getting all sorts of crap about how "twisted" and "sick" and horrible people they were. You'd think they'd murdered small children by how outraged people were.

I just don't understand people's attitudes towards anything they deem unusual or "weird." I mean, I'm asexual and I don't give a damn what anyone else is into as long as it's all between consensual adults. I just can't understand why people are so bothered by what other people like sexually.
