SpongeBob. I don’t think anyone was really MAD about that more so as weirdos who cared too much anyway got even weirder

And I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, I’ve just never seen or experienced this personally and I wanted some more input

Alastair from Hazbin Hotel pops to mind, it’s not as bad as it used to be but it’s still not good

I've had it happen in real life before, idk how common it is in online spaces but I've definitely experienced it. also I know at the end of the day people can head cannon fictional characters however they want, but I've never witnessed a fandom actually respect an asexual or aromantic characters identity, like they immediately start making porn of them or romantic fanfics. like with gay characters people usually keep them gay in their fanfics and idk it feels very targeted sometimes

Also also (and correct me if I’m wrong) but can’t you be gay and asexual? I thought that asexuality was seperate from sexual orientation? (Like on the sense that you can be gay and asexual or straight and asexual, or gay and trans or straight and trans etc.)
