So I desperately want to watch Riverdale but as a huge frickin ace that idolised Jughead a ton when I was kid, I can't deal with the idea that his *canon* asexuality isn't respected in the show?? I've heard hints that that's the case but positive portrayals of aceness are so few and far between that I cling to them with All of the Desperation

And more often than not what few examples of asexuality are just a punchline or totally butchered entirely with 'All I needed was the Right Person to come along!' narrative that is just

infuriating to me
