@ everyone who insists on trying to counter “what if this character were gay” with “what if they were ace instead”

a) these two things are not mutually exclusive
b) nice homophobia

and because I can tell that i’m probably going to be inundated with messages contesting point b, here’s god’s honest truth: implying that gay identities revolve entirely around sex & ‘sexual deviancy’ by trying to create a barrier between ‘gay’ and ‘ace’ is literally vintage, classic homophobia dressed up as hot modern discourse, and I would advise you to think carefully about why you believe the two ARE mutually exclusive

That’s a bit iffy because being gay isn’t just denying advances from the other gender. Insisting that someone could be gay rather than ace because they only deny advances but also show no interest in their own gender is acephobic.

    I think there is really thin line between not wanting gay characters & fighting aroace erasure. It’s not the same thing...
