I have to just yap about it because I see discourse about that from time to time on the internet:
I identify as AroAce (Aromantic - Asexual) however if you know me you do know that I also (somewhat) simp over characters (Wesker, Leon, Lady Dimitrescu, and a few others from RE especially, lmfao)
However what people do not seem to get is that fictional characters ≠ attraction to irl people
I have not EVER looked at an irl person and ever found myself romantically or sexually attracted to them, and I can promise you if I'd see Leon S. Kennedy actually IRL in front of me as an actual person, I would also not feel anything for him in that regard. There is a BIG difference between fictional characters and IRL people.
Also yes Asexual people can still get horny, it just means they don't feel sexual attraction to irl people and don't generally have the desire for intercourse (or at least very limited desire since Aromantism and Asexualism tends to be a spectrum).
Please stop discrediting Aro or Ace (or AroAce) peoples identity because you saw them simp over FICTIONAL characters, thank you.
I am ALSO getting tired of people refusing to believe people are Aro/Ace and just tell them "well maybe you just haven't found the right person yet!!!" Or maybe I just genuinely don't feel anything like that for anyone? Ever thought of that?
Also I personally have the issue that if I am uncomfortable, nervous, or stressed I tend to laugh, giggle, and/or smile (unwantingly), so some people also read that as "ooo you have a crush on *random person that is talking to me*", like... no? I also react like that when my SISTER or MOTHER yap about shit that makes me nervous, uncomfortable, or stressed, and I sure as hell do not have a crush on them. You guys can not read my body language as well as you think you can. Stop assuming shit.
Sorry I just had to let it out, I have read (and heard) people say shit like that SO god damn often for so many years now that it's getting genuinely tiring.
