Objectum sexuality is a term used to describe someone who feels romantic/sexual attraction towards objects.
Queer platonic objectum is the platonic or queer platonic attraction to objects.
Why do I feel Entrapta is objectum? A more in-depth answer is down below!
Entrapta is amazing representation for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder!
In She-Ra, Entrapta is often seen swooning and flirting with inanimate objects (robots, AI’s, space ships, etc.). While this may be done for comedic effect, her attraction is clear and abundant.
I made the connection that Entrapta experiences objectum not only because of her flirting, but because those with ASD are more likely to experience objectum sexuality(OS) than those off the spectrum. Her identity as an autistic woman would go hand in hand with her sexual orientation!
From a study conducted by the Scientific Reports, it's said that “OS individuals possess significantly higher rates of diagnosed autism and significantly stronger autistic traits compared to controls,” which, y’know! It just all fits together really well.
