It’s no small thing to see yourself positively reflected in something someone else has made. It’s proof that you’re not alone, that you’re not broken, or wrong, or any of the other things we tell ourselves when we grow up and don’t see a friendly face in society’s mirror. Asexual representation in media is still thin on the ground, but that’s beginning to shift with out ace characters on shows like Bojack Horseman and Heartstopper. There’s even a growing hope that I can ask a random person if they’ve heard of asexuality, and hear them respond with, “Oh, like Todd Chavez?” and not, “That’s just something the internet made up to make incels feel special.”
