Re: Asexuality in the TV show Sirens

[(Anonymous)]

Your basic premise seems to be that, because there aren't a lot of representations of your sexuality in commonly consumed media, you feel like this show owes you the interpretation of it that you'd feel most comfortable with.

It doesn't.

No piece of media can be all things to all people. And frankly, it sounds like this show manages to be some things to some people just fine. You just don't happen to be one of those people. And that's also fine.

(Frankly, I'm not sure why you're shocked that there's sexual judgement going on. Virgins over a certain age get judged. Sluts get judged. People into BDSM get judge. Why should asexual people be exempt from the general climate of "don't do sex differently than me!"?)

I don't feel like anyone owes me anything, I'm just saying I personally was bothered by it, and even acknowledged that I'm in an extreme minority. (Since my original post I've come across a few other people that share my opinion but the overwhelming majority seems to have found it positive.) I'm not going to send letters to the writers demanding that they change the character or anything, I'm just sharing my frustration...people rant about random stuff here all the time, so I thought it was okay to do so.

And yes, you're right in that people get judgy about unconventional sexual things, so I guess I shouldn't have really been surprised. It just kind of sucks because the initial reaction is to be kind of excited to see someone like you on TV for pretty much the first time ever (at least where it's actually, officially part of the canon) and then that character is portrayed in a disappointing way. But no, I definitely don't think they owe me anything. I'll just hope for more characters in the future, and might even continue to watch this show to see how things evolve in future episodes.
