I really have a problem with the sex-phobia that permeates some parts of the Heartstopper fandom
I get wanting romance stories that don't totally revolve around sex. and i get not wanting hyper-sexualized depictions of younger people. valid.
but total desexualization of a long-term romantic relationship between 2 queer men (who are very explicitly NOT asexual) is politically regressive. wanting sex to be absent from allosexual queerness is a morally conservative mentality that absolutely needs to be pushed back against.
sex is relevant to allosexual experiences of sexuality and sexual orientation. It HIGHLY relevant. I shouldn't have to explain or argue why it is relevant and important.
wanting allo-queerness to be completely devoid of sex is a VERY conservative desire. and sorry, it's not 'valid.'
