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.

>For those who think a asexual's are liers I just point to him.
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.

>asexual is a sexual orientation
>not having an opinion is an opinion
wew
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

I know I didn’t see it that way at least. I never suspected Todd of being gay.

I miss when he used to go on whacky adventures with Mister PB.

Exactly. I have a libido, but I feel no sexual attraction to anyone or anything whatsoever. Masturbating is just a chore to get done.

I think there are a lot of really clever ways they could have gone with his sexuality (including having characters like Diane suggest that he's gay to build on that idea of "well-meaning" bias), but they didn't go with any of that. Honestly, the most clever thing they did was when Todd awkwardly asked another asexual couple if "boats" are an asexual thing just because they happen to like boats. They point out that their sexuality is just one small part of their lives and that all of their interests are incidental to that. It's a very short and small scene but they could have built upon that to finally give Todd the realization that an individual is a collection of many different identities, not just one community that you want to be a part of.

They just got lazy (or too scared of a backlash) and defaulted to whacky hijinks instead of properly developing his character. It's similar to how they forced opioids down Bojack's throat just to drag back his character development from the last season.

>second best season with one of the best episodes of television this decade
>series is finally starting to crap itself

You know when your friends think you made up the word

I love how angry incels get over the thought of asexuality. Sex isn't that mind bending you guys, you're setting yourself up for some serious disappointment.

I mean, I get that being asexual and not being interested in sex might get annoying but unless you have an insane family who demands kids to continue their bloodline or something like that, what's the big deal? Wouldn't it be the same as living in a big sports city and not giving a fuck about the sport while everyone you know is obsessed with it? And it's not like I would identify as being a non sports fan in that situation and create a support group that centers around the fact that we don't like sports.

>They just got...too scared of a backlash
The "LGBTQ++ community" is too valuable a scamming tool for Leftists for the writers of this show to get away with mocking one of its core presumptions and maintaining polite company in Hollywood.

Calm down Aidan go play with your crayons

If you honestly believe that the funeral episode is one of the best episodes of television this decade, then you really need to diversify your media habits. It's a solid monologue but go outside and visit your local public theatre or something. It's annoying how people put it on a pedestal when I listen to audio plays that are equally as compelling but don't get nearly the same amount of attention because people like you need visuals in order to appreciate something.

The last season had decent episodes but the last half felt lazy and contrived. Character motivations are more confused and hazy than ever and Bob-Waksberg has said, repeatedly across multiple interviews, that he chose to make compromises based on comments made by Harvey Weinstein. It was a half-hearted attempt to make some kind of "woke" season that ultimately watered down the series.

Sex is for making babies, I leave it at rhat.

Hyperbole aside, a good portion of this season was clogged with a really clumsy attempt at making a statement about MeToo. It was clunky but okay. Quite possibly the worst thing was they turned the sexual harassment scene into a joke for meta reasons. It was so off-putting that it was almost unintentionally offensive.

I've said this in other Bojack threads but F Is for Family handled abuse and implied sexual assault in a much more hard-hitting way compared to Bojack. The last season still gives me chills with how accurately they handle real-life gaslighting and domestic violence. It shows how Bill Burr is still very much in touch with serious every-day problems while Bob-Waksberg has been spending too much time in big city California.

As an adult who mostly keeps the company of other reasonable and well adjusted adults, you’re right with the sports fan analogy. It’s just kind of mildly annoying having to explain it to somebody occasionally. I don’t think sports is the best comparison, though. It’s more like moving to an asian country where everyone eats a lot of rice and trying to tell them you have a preference/diet where you never eat rice. Some of them can’t even understand it- to them, it’s like saying you’re not into breathing. They think you must be sick, and some of them even take upon themselves to “fix” you. It’s hard to tell them you’re not interested sometimes, but not so bad if you don’t hang out with crazy people.

But I do think the mindset is borderline harmful to teens and young adults who feel obligated to explore sex, and like there must be something wrong with them if they don’t. I know when I was younger, I kinda forced myself into some stuff that I probably would’ve been better off without, simply because I thought it was the normal and expected thing to do. And I think the mindset of sex being essential to healthy living for absolutely everyone has bred a lot of incels who never put together the idea that maybe it doesn’t need to be that important.

>>invent a ridiculous over-the-top scenario

A ridiculous over-the-top scenario in a comedy cartoon? How absurd.

I would have compared it to saying drinking culture, like if you decline or refuse to drink around friends they would assume that you might have had a drinking problem or maybe someone in your family has a drinking problem because in their minds how could someone not like the feeling of alcohol.

Man, that’s a good one too. I have had a number of people assume that because I have certain abnormal behaviors, I must have at some point been raped.

I don't think incels are the one's who're freaked out by the idea of people not being hypersexual or sexual at all.
It's literaly just the sexually frustrated and people who see sex as something they personally need or use as a tool to manipulate people.

There's a reason why women use virgin and incel as an insult towards men. Yes even the lezbos.
And men use frigid as an insult towards women.

It just felt weird to introduce a character conflict in a somewhat serious manner but resolve it in a way that's just a flat joke. This is one example out of dozens but when Diane and Mr. PB finally come to terms with their marriage falling apart, it's not the result of some weird joke or hijinks. It ends with Diane and PB looking absolutely defeated after half an episode of them trying desperately and patiently to rekindle some kind of spark in their relationship.

and there me who thinks it tastes like shit (pure and simple)

Bojack Horseman is a bloated failure.

The main character is kind of jerk, too.

This

Right. But then people would say, "oh, you just haven't had the right beer/wine/mixed drink, just try this one and you'll get it, no one likes alcohol on their first time, etc.", kind of like how people can be pressured into sex or if someone says they didn't like the sex they had their friend would say, "oh, he/she just wasn't right for you, you just need to find the right partner or use the right toys".

>shittiest character in this fucking universe reprents asexuals now
lmao as if you weren't a laughing stock before

don't be dense, its main draw is the comedy but that doesn't mean it doesn't take itself seriously, like imagine if the episode with the child star ODing ended with a big haha joke and a wink at the camera

Tried it for 4 years still shit , your not my friends if your pushing my buttons.

I think the problem with people is they can't believe people have different options out there self it's just like ice cream flavors there are some you won't like.

And stuffing Plastic in your ass or pussy is just silly what are we 5 :D

>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
That-
That was the joke.
Most "comedy of error" plots involve people going to comedic lengths to have sex. It's even funnier if you're familiar with that and you see the exact reversal.
This is bait, right?
Nobody could possibly be as dumb as OP, right?

Todd and his subplots have always been the weakest aspect of the show. I did like the arc in S5 with the dildo robot tying back into the sex-pest Hollywood culture though.

Read the thread before making a dumb post like yours

I think the :D means that he's joking

You know, it might sound silly but this thread made me gain back a little faith in humanity. I can't believe you anons are actually genuinely discussing asexuality as a valid (I hate that word but I can't think of any other) identity with little trolling. It's refreshing to see.

The weights always fall on the first user's that post. They provide the mood for the rest of the thread usually.

So, what does everyone think of the theory that diane will die at the start of next season?

Well yeah, asexuality as a concept isn't super confusing and the showrunners did a great job of Todd basically spelling it out to the fireman.

Understandable, I've been here a while so I noticed but I've never seen a Todd thread go like this before.
God I hope so, I don't like her at all. But I doubt it. Why are people theorizing this anyway?

No I'm not it sounds silly, I was on the ground laughing when I saw my first porno, Yes I get that it feels good but the "Fuck yes and Cum on my face" junk that's just to funny I don't understand how people watch that stuff or as they say in the church hooked on it.

I did hold back my giggles with my wife (now ex) as she need a toy for her pussy.

Its a Princess Diana thing. She crashed in a tunnel and unlife'd. Diane is seen at the end of the season entering a tunnel and not coming out. Something something Other similarities elsewhere something something. I read it a while back but I remember being convinced.

Well in that case, I think the problem with people is they can't believe people have different opinions.

Whaaaat no they're not going to get rid of their most compelling female character and driver of like half the ongoing plots.

I see. While I do want Diane to fuck off, I feel like this would be a step in the wrong direction, it feels like forcefully fabricated drama to milk a season out of. Sort of like "oh we have written this unfunny character into a corner, what can we do with them?" and so they decide to kill her so they can have everyone be miserable the whole season and it being justified.
It /could/ work if they know how to write it well, but I'm not sure they can.

She was really annoying in the last season because she pretty much lost any sense of purpose as it went on. She just whines about how shitty her life is despite how a lot of it is her fault (and how she can still afford to live near Hollywood even though IRL Hollywood has a serious homelessness crisis going on right now). Unless they writers have COMPLETELY lost it and want to make her character even worse, she's probably going to finally hit rock bottom next season. It's really the only way to salvage her character at this point for her to finally own up to her own bullshit instead of just crying about it.

For all the shit that she shoves at Bojack about how he "hasn't changed" (which is bullshit if you look at the series as a whole), she's actively become a worse person. If the writers don't properly develop that next season then I'm dropping the series.

they do that's why it was best she was wife no more, it just creeped me out how she felt the toy but not my dick and then said she wanted it (made me feel like a pervert) there's not point of having my dick in you if you can feel it.

Thats what i'm hoping for too, surely they wouldn't. I want notdaria to end up with bojack which would make Mr. PB have a mental breakdown seeing her happier with bojack which triggers a wave of awakening to all the things he was oblivious to before like how much of a shitter bojack is and other things. I'd prefer a PB suicide or complete shift to depressive shitheap. Thats my optimal next season.

That's why it was best she was wife no more, it just creeped me out how she felt the toy but not my dick and then said she wanted my dick (made me feel like a pervert) there's not point of having my dick in you if you can't feel it.

I think your still trying to figure out sexuality
not everyone understands it that fast.

I like tits.

Is that trying to figure out sexuality?

I'm not sure.

>I'd prefer a PB suicide or complete shift to depressive shitheap. Thats my optimal next season.
My afroamerican brother, you have all my respect. If this show had the balls to do this (though I highly prefer ATTEMPTED suicide because Mr. PB is too much of a great character for the show to lose) I would seriously respect it.
It has a lot of potential too, unlike the cheap Diane death, finding out Mr. PB had gotten secretly depressed to the point of ending his life and no one had noticed could impact the characters in a meaningful way and also send an important real message about depression as the overall theme of the season. And it's not like it's out of the blue either, there are little moments sparkled throughout the series that would completely justify him developing it, even ignoring the elephant in the room that is his divorce.
But again I really doubt they will, which is a shame because this storyline has potential flowing out of its ass.

I know sex is for making babies but it's point less if your just fucking? what do people get out of that? is it a urge to make babies or something else.... I've felt this way since I was 10 and thought it would change 15 years later but I still fell the same way?

I see your point, but whenever I'm offered a drink and refuse I just tell people I don't drink. They usually just drop it there and that's that. I think if people are being that assumptive on why you don't drink/fuck that often/like a sport it's less about the subject and more just on them being nosy and rude.

"I like tits, I just don't feel up for sex that often.
Now please stop asking about my sex life, it's really creepy"

well here's a thing, are you actually autistic? You might just lack a libido and the mental cognitive ability to understand what it is because of it. You also write like you're underage so maybe look into that.

Wow, you have any idea of how fucking pathetic and creepy your post read.
YOU DONT LIKE SEX WELL YOURE RETARDED AND A CHILD
No seriously you're fucking weird.

Nevermind, you're false flagging and underage. I'll stop replying to you now.

Sounds like you have a good friend group. But on the whole when people hear that someone doesn't drink they often immediately jump to some familial drinking problem.

Is that trying to figure out sexuality?

>all I said was "Is that trying to figure out sexuality? I did'nt ask how many times you were fucking or how

I think people praise him because there aren't really a lot of other characters out there that people can relate to if they're asexual.

I think he's an awful representative though since he's such a manchild I'd argue he's afraid of sex rather than being asexual but that's not the way the writers took things.

Todd is just cancerous. Sometimes he's funny, like when he's interacting with Mr. Peanutbutter but mostly I just kinda facepalm at him. He gave Bojack so much shit for being a bad person but he's a pretty inconsiderate person himself. I guess the difference is when he gets called out for it he's willing to make a change. (Like him and Princess Carolyn)


I just wanna say the angsty zebra episode was one of the best this season if only because I sat there going "Oh please tell me they..." and then they did. They changed the opening to fit the episode theme.

Say what you want about the show's issues but at least they have a passionate team behind it.

No, not him but he’s right. Your posts sound really immature. If you’re the one that made the smiley face next to saying how you don’t understand how someone could enjoy dildos, and then confirmed that you were being unironic and serious about it, that right there is a huge red flag. Smiley faces aren’t common here except among newfags. If you’re not really young (and early twenties I think would count as being just above underage- a lot of people that age still sound like teens), then I’d guess you must not post here often and probably more often hang out on tumblr or some other platform where there are a lot of teenagers and such.

There’s nothing wrong with being autistic or young. But if you seriously are underage, you should leave because we have rules about that for a reason.

You know not everyone feels the same way about sex, that doesn't make you a child. This is way people never open up and why you have people calling men gay because they don't fucking every walking thing.

Not the same anonymous

It’s not about them not liking sex. Nobody is bashing on the other asexuals here. It’s about the one user writing in a really immature voice and being mocking and completely uncomprehending of people who do like sex.

I was calling them underage because they kept doing spelling mistakes, used a smiley face and said in a derogatory sounding way they don't get why people would have sex for recreational purposes, while also being mad at people not getting THEM for not wanting sex (I just think this contradiction is silly). They also mentioned a church.
However after replying all mad I'm positive it's just someone falseflagging for the lols, but still probably underage. Again, I'd recommend not replying to him.

I or my wife are not dildo? fans so can't talk about that junk but I think the problem here is main stream over-sex sex to the point dam if you do dam if you don't. I like sex but I'm not into the 50 shades of gray style sex most people go gaga over. And confirmed to me I need to marry my girlfriend who wasn't like that then go though a bunch of weried ass shit and your my 80th fuck body all for in the name of you need more sex before you marry. Sex became meaningful when I knew I married the right person. You do that and bet you sex will be a turn on for you.

You also think that being "apolitical" is not a political stance?

>people praising Bojack Horseman for "finally giving asexuals representation".
The people saying this are:
A). not asexual and
B). the same people who praised the trashfire that was Season 5. Don't listen to those people. Watch S1-4, then watch Free Churro, and consider it finished.

>I need representation
You're not asexual, you just wanted an excuse for your lack of sex.

Clear the air

*No I'm not into sex for recreational purposes why when I can masturbate I don't feel the need to or understand it when you have masturbation maybe is my problem then.

*I think porn is funny because of all the cursing in it (Why would they do that it's just looks and sound corny)

*No I did not post the smiley face

*No I'm not underage I'm 29 and have my second wife

*First wife used a sex toy (I had no problem with it, just looked a little silly) but when it came to sex I married because I wanted kids and she was we can have kids later so I didn't care for sex until it was baby making time. But to be a good husband I had sex anytime she wanted it but what creeped me out was she said she didn't feel me in her. So why was I putting my dick in her if she wasn't felling it? I was 20 at the time.

*current wife and I have kids (3) and everything is okay we have sex every now and then I'm happy

>You're not asexual, you just wanted an excuse for your lack of sex.
what makes you say that?

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation or the lack thereof. It may also be categorized more widely to include a broad spectrum of asexual sub-identities.

Why would asexuality need to be discussed with others beyond "I'm not interested"?

Sounds about right.

Because I'm an actual asexual, and no asexual calls themselves an "ace", goes to meet-ups, or otherwise does any of the retarded identity politics shit Todd got involved in. The only people who do that shit are either confused about what they are or call themselves asexual to justify their lack of sex life. An asexual and a low sex drive are not the same fucking thing.

It's like calling Atheism your religion. It doesn't make fucking sense, and no real Atheist would be demanding an Atheist Bible and Atheist Church services.

"Asexual" honestly is such attention seeking bullshit. No one cares if you don't want to fuck anyone, you don't need a stupid word to feel special.

Because atomizing society into smaller and smaller self-obsessed minorities is in certain people's interests.

That's the term that was assigned to us by 1800's biologists. Take it up with them. I've tried the "No interest" route, people don't understand that.

it's hard to make a statement over something that doesn't really matter at all. Not matter how much they pretend to be opressed, asexuals never had the social pressure gays had/have. It's very easy to live a sex-less life, and no rights are denied to you. Even a "flat-earthers are dumb" episode would have been more profound and tought provoking

Because some of those others interpret “I’m not interested” to mean “I’m not interested YET. Please, convince me.”

>no real Atheist would be demanding an Atheist Bible and Atheist Church services.

I think that’s kinda how the church of satanism got started.

But asexuality isn't a lack of sexual identity in the way atheism is a lack of religious faith and beliefs, it's just, well, what this guy said , which means people identifying in this minority could possibly still wish to find community. I also think this applies to atheists though, I don't find it far-fetched that an atheist would want a space where they can express what they believe without being surrounded by people who will think they're blasphemous or something.
Besides, you wouldn't call atheism a religion, but that doesn't mean it's not an identity, a part of your identity for which you'd want to find likeminded individuals, same as everyone else does. It's human nature, ever seen fandoms? Just because they acknowledge a part of their identity and enjoy a community doesn't mean they're faking, that's a stretch.

They do care and they don't care.
Remember they think there self and everyone is having sex 24/7 so it won't darn on them that someone in this world is not having sex or not wanting to have it. But when they do find out it's like what's wrong with you, I'm not asexual but many can't believe my wife is the only woman I fucked (We were both virgins married since we were 22) and was my fist and only girlfriend I had.

I just troll them back and say "I wanted a new car not the used one" then they just shut the bullshit up after that never to talk about it again.

1800s biologists also said some skeevy shit about black people but they don't feel the need to uphold it in the present day.

I think the meet-ups thing is a californian thing. It’s easy to say “no sane person seriously does/believes that shit,” but that applies to a lot of things people in california do.

>It's very easy to live a sex-less life

With your self yes but with someone in it, that can be hard what are the chances of running into someone like you? for just companionship.

I found it pretty easy. I wasn’t even looking for a nonsexual romantic partner when my relationship started- it just kinda turned out that way.

I'm just imagining how stupid I would sound if I took the position of "I don't want to be promiscuous because of cultural/spiritual/etc reasons" and tried to make it a weird term like volcelsexual or some shit.

Which is literally what asexuals and incels I guess do and seem to feel special for having some arcane word to describe it.

All California does is fuck everyone and everything in site. Don't know why they don't set up shops in Wal-Mart.

The entire gag behind Todd's character is that in a show about a man coming to grips with the fact that life is not at all like a ridiculous TV sitcom, every story arc that involves Todd is a ridiculous TV sitcom plot. The whole asexual thing is almost incidental- frankly, that arc is actually on the tamer side of things, considering that Todd has, in the past,
1) Been the subject of a "Prince and the Pauper"-style trading places plot with the prince of a violent 3rd world country
2) Become an overnight tech billionaire
3) Fallen in with a death cult based around improv theatre
4) Been courted by two different prison gangs in a "Three's Company" situation where he tried to appease both
5) Become the clueless CEO of not one, not two, but THREE different ridiculous corporations (PB Livin, Rabid Clown Dentists, WhatTimeIsItRightNow)

Like, honestly, they played it up for laughs, but "meeting my girlfriend's parents is uncomfortable" is actually one of the less outlandish things that's happened to Todd.

>Can say I'm asexual but sex isn't the first thing on my mind when it comes to women or dating
Well it fucking shouldn't be since that's the whole point of being asexual, you retard.

But why identify with a sexuality in the first place to the point where you want to find likeminded individuals unless you're getting shit on for it? Homosexuals and transgenders get shit on by a ton of people so them making their own communities make sense, plus they can talk about the hardships that they face. Asexuals aren't given shit for being asexual except for maybe mild annoyances like the stuff people mentioned in this thread. I guess you can call it human nature like with fandoms, but fandoms for the most part are unhealthily obsessive if you get to the point where you call yourself part of the _____ fandom as if its your identity, and even so, fandoms actually have a subject matter they can discuss as opposed to talking about a lack of interest in something.

>But why identify with x in the first place to the point where you want to find likeminded individuals unless you're getting shit on for it?
I dunno man ask the white supremacists. No seriously, ask the furries. Or people who like sports. Or bronies. A lot of people just like a company similar to themselves, as I said it's human nature.

asexuality is a stupid label 12 year olds use and the tumblr word for incel

Neat. You go scream at science to change.

>volcelsexual

yah but that's more of a "Moral Orel" then. I'll admit I'm christian and one reason I married early (a lot of christians do marry early if you research it) I didn't marry for sex but I was like why wait to marry when your old and everyone stars to look ugly kind of thing.

Asexual's claim not to want sex what so ever to the point that most would believe there kids trapped in a teens (puberty) or adults body.
I think the problem with gays and or some asexual is there trying to make a culture out of it and forget it's a orientation.

I think it's what they were saying. spell check got in his way

Don't 12 year olds hit puberty ?
why would they use a word like that?

Is asexuality the volcel/incel of the far left?

Yeah but white supremacists can sit around talking about how minorities are ruining America, furries can sit around and talk about what degeneracy they fapped to today, sports fans talk about their sports teams. They all have something that they all like and want to discuss, but for asexuals it seems more like forming a group and an identity just for the sake of having an identity. You don't create a group to talk about how much you don't care about something unless you are actively against it, like how gays rally against homophobia and atheists rally against religion in schools and shit like that. And I don't think asexuals rally against other people having sex so it doesn't fit in that group.

I thought the joke was that it was treated as a gay coming out plot, but none of the other major characters give a shit because asexuality isn't really something people care about one way or the other.

Only thing as far as I know asexual get jokes for are.

>That can't be a real thing your lie-ing you have to want sex because you want to you need to

>Your a child in a adults body

>You have to suffer like gays before asexually becomes a word

>tfw had sex probably 20 times in my life
>never really got into it, didn't feel that great, would rather be doing anything else
>no desire to have any more sex

>I guess I'm asexual
>go online
>see incels claim they're asexual
>see snowflakes basing their whole identity on not wanting to do one specific thing
>see other snowflakes claim to be asexual except they willingly and joyfully have sex
Why is my sexuality such a joke

I think it's different in this instance because asexuals can talk about their journey in finding out their sexuality, because in a society that puts this much value on sex and pressure on people to do it and engage in everything regarding it, it can feel daunting if it happens to be that you're incel or asexual. The first because I guess you'd feel like a failure and reject (ignoring all the nasty ideologies they adapted later on), the second because you'd feel broken. A lot of asexual people I know share this feeling and it feels nice to know you're not the only one, and talk about the ways society focuses on sex and how it might affect you, and even find a partner that you know will have no problem with this part of you and won't want to do the do.
There's a lot asexual people can talk about too, like spreading awareness that it is a possible way to be (you have no idea how many people just don't get it).
As a final thought, self identifying regarding sexuality is important because relationships are something that are born from two people, and so it's important that people around you know what you're into to avoid awkward situations.
Just as how gay people tell they are to avoid getting hit on by girls and also to find a companion possibly, aces might do the same as a way to automatically state "I am not interested" so other people won't even bother, and if they do they know what they are getting into.
Meanwhile most other identities are something personal you don't need to share, but sharing your sexual preferences has the advantages, so it's no wonder people do it.

Its like pointing out there race.
People to them silly things

I feel like the writers have run out of ideas for the old characters. Princess Carolyn was inches away from having a happy life with Ralph but she had to fuck it all up so she can be broken like Bojack for another season. Dianne doesn't really have a purpose anymore, and Todd is Todd. I was really hoping to see more of Wanda and Hollyhock but we'll probably never see them again outside of one Hollyhock episode per season.

OK, I guess I can see why asexuals would want to form groups. I suppose it's just hard for me to understand romantic asexual relationships since that just sounds like a strong friendship to me, but it makes sense from a convenience standpoint. It's just weird for me to see a cartoon to make asexuality such a heavy subject matter to the point where several episodes have segments about it completely devoid of comedy until the very end of the arc, where it goes balls to the wall almost as if they were trying to make fun of asexuals who say they face problems because of their sexuality.

No you sound like a creeper who is losing their absolute shit on someone who does not want to have sex or even fully understands the urge to have sex.

Have any idea of how much of a fucking creeper you're being right now?

Well hug and kiss are non-sexual you have some that like doing that. Happy stuff

You sound like a seventeen year old girl on tumblr. No one's mad here except you.

I just don't get why you can't just say "I'm not interested in sex" rather than needing esoteric, pseudoacademic terms for shit.

>creeper
>creeeeeper
Oof
Just ouch
Painfully cringe

That is completely understandable dude don't worry, I wasn't discussing the quality of Todd as representation at all (he kinda sucks, he's childish and naive and plain dumb, which makes it seem like that's the reason he doesn't want sex, like something he could still grow out of; which I guess he could though, if he was a real human, because he IS immature, and with maturity comes different feelings about sexuality, while when you're a child, even if just at heart, you tend to disregard it or find it icky. So again, he's bad as a representative imo).
Sometimes companionship between two people who don't have sex can definitely look like a deep friendship, I think it's just for convenience sake that they would call themselves a couple, because I assume it would have all the components of one except for the sexual aspect. You know things like cuddling, dates, maybe living in the same house eventually. Best friends don't tend to act like that culturally, from what I know.
At the end of the day it's a personal experience that varies deeply depending on who you ask, but I think usually identities are born from a desire to label and identify a recognised common experience. Once you name it, it gains validity, in a way, it serves the purpose to describe a certain quality, whatever that may be, even if in the end it ends up being something completely different.
Let me give you an example that's pretty out there but that I think encapsulates what I'm trying to say. 1/2

You know how tumblr idiots tend to identify as made up genders that make no logical sense? We can both agree it is dumb and they don't hold value in the sense of having truth to them (meaning science doesn't support the existence of a... sparklegender, for example), but where they hold value in that particular point in time for the person using them is to express the detachment they are feeling from their gender identity, regardless of the true nature of it. I'm saying they are born to try to label something, in this case for ignorant/dumb people who aren't aware of how things actually work and are misinformed.
Asexuality doesn't fall in this category in my opinion because it's totally understandable and scientifically sound that a person would lack sexual attraction (and possibly libido but it's not a given, actually sometimes if the libido is missing it might be more likely that you have other types of interferences in your life making you that way that aren't necessarily your sexuality, because libido is... a need most healthy bodies have, for lack of better words on my part, and a response to stimuli as well, and aces' bodies work fine so they might still want to masturbate because they have that need or because it feels good. But this is just how I see it so I'm always open to learn more as I am not asexual so I have the perspective of an outsider).
2/2

he already lose his best friend for not wanting to sex. how could they use "losing friend because you don't want sex" again?

>the fact that life is not at all like a ridiculous TV sitcom
thanks for the great perspective. I was just annoyed and ignored Todd before but now you really makes me think.

>I just don't get why you can't just say "I'm not interested in sex" rather than needing esoteric, pseudoacademic terms for shit.

Stop acting like a fucking sad little cunt.
There are people out there who don't want to have sex nor understand it and aesexual is the label for them.
That label is older then the very idea that there is nothing wrong with transexualism or gender reassignment surgery.
You are just fucking stupid and for some reason losing your absolute shit over the very notion, the very idea, that somewhere there are people who don't see sex as an important thing.
Take a good long look in the fucking mirror.

The fact that you reacted to this in that way says that it hurt your fee fees quite a bit.

A person can be A. Sexual or B. Asexual or be A. Romantic or B. Aromantic.

Is aromantic sexual morally allowed to tolerated in society? Sounds more like nonconsensual sexual.

I know I'm going to catch a lot of flack for this, but what even is Asexuality? Why does the dude have a girlfriend if he's asexual? If she's asexual as well then why did she seek out a boyfriend.

I fail to comprehend. I understand that there's a lot more to a relationship than sex, and that relationships built on sexual attraction without other sustaining elements ultimately fail, but I can't comprehend why an asexual individual would seek out a relationship in the first place. All of my friends who identify as asexual simply don't date.

>aromantic = nonconsensual
Have you ever heard about 'friends with benefits'?

there are a lot of posts in this very thread you could read as a starting point

The only reason asexuality is being pushed by the media is because Hollywood wants to push the tired old "sex is bad by default" message

I don't see any hollywood characters being asexual user

The fuck are you even saying?
Hollywood is all about hypersexuality and demonizing people who aren't hypersexual and are heterosexual and have a low or nonexistant partner count.

Today Hollywood is all about censorship - conservatives made it like that.
