Some of you really need to realize that aspec identities historically have not and are not being used in the way you all describe.
Aspec identities are not being used to infantalize disabled characters because infantilization of disabled people is viewed as the LACK of a sexuality. It's viewed as a disabled character not being able to consent. it's viewed as a disabled character not being viewed as an adult but a child. It's viewed as a disabled person being too stupid to know themselves. it's viewed as a disabled person having no agency. Asexuality is not the enemy of disabled representation. A disabled character being asexual or aromantic doesn't mean the character is a child, that they cant consent, that they have no agency. To say it does is to also be stereotyping aspec identities in the exact same way. Disabled Aspec people exist in real life (hi that's me!). Their existence is not your enemy.
Aspec identities are not being used to erase gay characters. they are not being used to stop shipping. You know what sexuality a character has when the creator doesn't want them to be gay or shipped in a gay ship? STRAIGHT. HETEROSEXUAL. They make the character heterosexual because why the hell would they make a character aromantic or asexual, a queer fucking identity, if they don't want the character to be gay? They wouldn't! they make them STRAIGHT.
You all are so fucking aphobic to the point of making up issues that don't fucking exist and blaming it on aspec identities when that shit has never happened and still isn't happening. You will instead see aspec identities and stereotype them like everyone else in order to push some fake conspiracy theory that asexual and aromantic identities are being used to erase and stereotype OTHER groups like DO YOU HEAR HOW INSANE YOU ALL SOUND? You all are living in another reality of your own making and it'd be laughable if it wasn't so bigoted.
