To everyone who says Senku is unconfirmed as AroAce.
I get it. Stuff like that can be annoying to read over and over again (especially if you're not invested in sexualities or their representation in media). I know so because I'm fucking annoyed that I have to write it over and over again because people don't get it. So bear with me so we can once and for all fucking agree that Senku is canonically a loveless AroAce.
Average bisexual, respects women, desires everything and everyone, etc.
By the logic of those who say Senku isn't AroAce, Ryusui isn't bisexual (or bi+).
Because neither Inagaki nor Boichi said "Ryusui is bisexual/falls under the bisexual umbrella".
Hell, by this logic Francois isn't non-binary. They never said that either. But I digress, let's focus on Ryusui again.
Still he's canon and why is that? Because he said "I love all women you see! Men too! I desire them all!"
This is what an implied confirmation is all about. The character says something that confirms their sexuality. The AUTHORS wrote that line. The authors made the decision to have Ryusui say that.
Ryusui himself never said he's bi+, but he said something that confirms that he's attracted to more than one gender, ergo he's canonically bisexual (or pansexual, or omni, that's not really the point here and not why I made this post, fact is that he is canonically attracted to more than one gender).
Senku responds to Kohaku's "I've fallen for you quite hard" with "Sheesh, annoying crap like that makes me wanna curl up and die."
Senku says "A brain clouded by love is the most irrational kind. It leads to nothing but trouble."
Senku says in response to Homura's "Watch where you're touching me!" with "These kind of tricks won't work on me"
Senku tell Nikki in response to her saying "I could see myself falling for you" with "Let's nip that in the bud, 'kay?".
How he HATES being touched by other people. How he doesn't hug people back because he doesn't want that (also is part of him being autistic, but I digress). He's inconsiderate of others' feelings (Inagaki himself said this one. A comment from the author himself in an interview a few years back. Google it).
OTHER CHARACTERS say Senku "10 billion percent doesn't give a crap about dating" and that he "just says whatever they want to hear just to accomplish his goals" and ALL AGREE TO THAT STATEMENT.
That those who think Senku is romantically/sexually interested in anyone "don't know Senku at all"
He remained SINGLE even AFTER THE END of Dr. Stone. Years of Senku not having romantic interests in people ONCE.
But for some fucking reason people will go OUT OF THEIR WAY, bending over backwards and grasping at straws to say that Senku is unconfirmed, that he will never be AroAce, especially not a loveless AroAce, and send disgusting aphobic comments to Aspec people who just want to be represented in media FOR ONCE and not be the side character of some B plot people will forget.
This reasoning just reeks of pure Aphobia.
Double fucking Standards.
