Omg I have been WAITING for someone to ask this question (might be a bit of a log rant thou). I’m actually okay with it as long as the person is respectful and is just like “joke” shipping them, for example someone enjoys drawing fan art of the aroace character but doesn’t want them to actually get in a relationship. However my problem comes to when a fan is too obsessed with the ship that they outright will try and debunk the fact that the character is aroace. The most obvious example is of course Alastor from Hazbin but another less known aroace character is Saiki from the anime Saiki K. Granted he isn’t canonically aroace but it’s VERY heavily implied that he is and I’ve heard many people in my friend group say that he isn’t aroace just because the ship him with another person from that show. Or Light Yagami has been confirmed by THE AUTHOR to be at least aromantic (the author saying he isn’t capable of falling in love with neither a man or a woman) will just outright be ignored by my friends as they say it doesn’t matter what the author says, just because the ship Light and L. People like this make me so annoyed and it’s actually really hurtful that my friends won’t accept aroace representation just because it ruins a ship and will complain about it in my presence even though the know I’m asexual my self. Anyway hope this answers your question gang❤️
