Make character realize he's asexual

>make character realize he's asexual
>write plot lines involving him going to asexual support groups and shit
>realize that any sort of conflict is needed to make this interesting to viewers since no one actually gives a fuck about someone being asexual
>invent a ridiculous over-the-top scenario where the guy has to pretend to not be asexual because his asexual girlfriend's parents are sex-crazed porn stars who want to watch them bone
I still don't understand what they were going for, yet I see people praising Bojack Horseman for "finally giving asexuals representation". I feel like this show falls on its face any time it tries to be anything deeper than "sad horse man" even if the pure comedy moments are actually funny.

Can say I'm asexual but sex isn't the first thing on my mind when it comes to women or dating. For those who think a asexual's are liers I just point to him.

I'm asexual. The episode wasn't the best written, but I felt happy watching it. It was pandering to us, and personally, I felt it did it okay.

It's a continuation of Todd struggling to find a sense of belonging in his life since his family hates him and most of his "friends" are self-destructive parasites. It started with life in prison, then not-Scientology, and so on and so on. I think there was an attempt to be clever by pointing out how shallow it is to define yourself by your sexuality (think about all the identity politics that are currently at play, even among people who want to reassert how proud they are to just be White), but it became really obvious at that point that they were just recycling character arcs to artificially draw out conflict and drama.

tl;dr Todd being asexual was supposed to be a critique of identity politics but they pussied out of it and the series is finally starting to crap itself

Just Ignore Todd episodes, user.

Todd's entire thing is that everything he does turns into "wacky hijinks." The thing with his girlfriend and her family was completely in-character.

I think you're half right. I think we were supposed to assume Todd is gay, and the asexual reveal exposed the viewer's bias. (That not wanting to fuck a girl who's hitting on you means you must be gay.)

Or maybe I'M the biased one and nobody else saw it that way.

A character in a comedy cartoon?

Not asexual, but my boyfriend and I both have pretty low libidos, and I also appreciate at least being able to point to Todd as an example of a character that just isn’t into sex. There’s a disturbing amount of people I’ve run into that just can’t seem to comprehend the concept of a person that doesn’t make sex a big part of their life, and it’s nice to have examples of that. Just a couple weeks ago I met a woman at work that asked what I’d do if I got pregnant, and she seemed confused as fuck when I explained to her that I don’t worry about it so much because I just plain don’t have sex often.

If you're going to try and give yourself a special status to pat yourself on the back, you could at least commit to being a fag
