Sigh
You know the worst part about being ace and feeling really represented by a character who has no romantic relationships?
It’s that there will always be some jackass down the line who sees that the character has no romantic relationships, and instead of seeing it as an intentional writing choice, will say “it’s free real estate!” And use it as an opportunity to stick them in the most bog-standard heterosexual relationship you’ve ever seen
I know I said I wasn’t gonna talk about it but this bit breached containment and I just. This was the one thing I never wanted DMC media to do
To be clear, this is not about shippers. It’s about something parading around as official DMC media. It’s not even like it’s game Dante and Lady, who are at least interesting characters with an interesting dynamic and chemistry. I get it when people ship them even if I personally don’t agree and don’t care for it and don’t think it should ever be canon. It’s Netflix’s weird skin suits parading around with Dante and Lady’s names, because they’re two people of the opposite sex and that means they must be attracted to each other, or whatever
And it’s not like Dante was ever officially asexual either so it’s not like I can cry erasure, but it definitely hurts because it’s not like asexuality gets a lot of representation in the first place
