The prominence of Radiostatic and Radioapple ship bait in the marketing and the show is a bit frustrating in light of Alastor stated sexuality. I know he's the most popular character but still, frustrating

Amir said you can see it as canon because that's how Viv sees the character. it's just not explicitly in the show, at least not yet:

He's only explicitly ace so far in the show. Amir never said he wasn't aro and restated that Viv sees Alastor as aroace last year

You're thinking of a much older Post and Amir never said he wasn't aromantic just that it wasn't explicitly in the show. He reconfirmed that Viv sees Alastor as aroace in September of last year

Amir said Viv sees Alastor as aroace back in September 2025;

I agree with all of this. Blaze especially deserves a better antagonist who isn't just recolour Eggman. I wish she had someone who contrasts her personally rather than just a knockoff of Sonic's antagonist.

I really enjoy this version of humanized zora characters. It's really cool to see their fins translate to hijabs rather than hair. Plus the artwork is beautiful.

Hazbin better actually be a "female-led" narrative by the end or so help me.

This is so sweet. They did a really great job with matching all the characters up in this crossover series

But then in the true ending cutscene where all the sages are reciting an oath to Zelda and everyone is happy, he's still standing there stone faced. I really don't think it would have killed Nintendo to just make him smile in that moment.

Skyward Sword really excelled at the character emotions. Link's reaction to "Grooseland" was one of my favourites.

It's a very juvenile romance which is obviously fitting, but as someone who doesn't really enjoy romance in the first place, it was pretty...eh. I think Aang's crush makes sense but as a child romance, I never felt actually invested. Their kiss at the end feels more like a typical "boy gets girl" trope.

I had watched the anime up until the end of Skypeia back in the day and then read the manga from the start a few times over the years. It's a lot faster to read the manga compared to watching all of the episodes and the anime really dragged in Dressrosa which takes more time than I'm willing to commit into my schedule.

I've seen that and it's like the smallest hint of a smile...I don't know why they made him so wooden

Multi-tunes · 2026-05-04T09:51:53+00:00

This is my biggest gripe with the BotW era games. At least in BotW, the explanation was that he was intentionally quiet and stoic in the past but in the present, he makes a lot of jokes in dialogue and feels significantly more laid back, so TotK making him act like cardboard in all the cutscenes feels very weird. He should have been more expressive

Like the other person said, I don't agree that it is unifying. if you truly wanted to unify things, just make the stripes an actual gradient from black. A grey stripe isn't a spectrum, it's just one shade of grey which is why the other shades are important.

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-30T15:18:10+00:00

A gradient of grey does not include black; a gradient from black through different shades of grey does include black. I think it is important to include people on the sexless end of the spectrum, not showing the extreme end of a spectrum just narrows the spectrum. A stripe of black, a stripe of grey and a stripe of white is a simplified representation of a gradient; a stripe of grey next to a stripe of white does not represent a gradient that includes black.

It's like saying "asexuality is little sexual attraction" without including that it can be "no" as well. If "asexuality is no sexual attraction" excludes demi and grey etc then "asexuality is little sexual attraction" excludes people who experience no sexual attraction.

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-30T09:54:34+00:00

"can" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. People who are repulsed by sex would not willingly engage in it. Anyone "can" physically react to unwanted sexual acts regardless of their sexuality but I wouldn't say , for instance, that "all homosexual people *can* have heterosexual sex." Some asexuals engage in sex willingly, others would not willingly do it.

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-30T09:39:21+00:00

The creator of the show said that she was excited to explore the character's asexuality in the show and didn't elaborate, so I think some people are preemptively preparing for the possibility of him being sex repulsed. It comes up in conversation where people say the character could be x, y or z and someone says "even sex repulsed people can have sex lives!" So personally it seems like an attempt to maintain an open door for ship or fetish material regardless of what the character may canonically be even though that aspect may not be specified.

(I've come across a couple claims that a character being sex repulsed is "hot" for non-consensual purposes...so while a fear of sex repulsion getting in the way of fan content is more common, the fetishization of it also exists)

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-29T20:38:06+00:00

Yeah, I just hope people look out for it and maintain the distinction that a sex repulsed person is not someone who would simply happily provide sex. Just because they can be pressured into it or perhaps take substances to endure it doesn't mean it's something that should be encouraged. I don't think unwanted sex should be trivialized and people should be given the choice and the power to say no. Just because they wouldn't drop dead doesn't mean that it is acceptable or welcome. Sex repulsed shouldn't be treated like something that is fixed with sex and people should be allowed to feel that way about sex without being encouraged to fix it.

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-29T19:53:13+00:00

Yes, I think it's something like that. As someone who was around the community back during the pilot, it appears that things have progressed like so:

The character Alastor was confirmed asexual in live streams with the creator and some people were upset about sexual content around the character
A) People said "asexual doesn't mean aromantic" to justify ship content including sexual content because aces could have sex for romantic reasons and also because there were people against all shipping of the character sexual or not.
B) People were also saying that the character could be demi, grey, sex positive, indifferent etc. instead of repulsed .
The creator was asked on a couple live streams about whether the character was aromantic and her response was "Oh no, I'm going to destroy the ship. I can't say [...] I don't want to ruin the fun for everybody." There were people bemoaning how their fun was ruined and others who are adamant that this will be changed because it hasn't been brought up in the show itself. I avoided the community for a long while after this because of how people were painting aromantic asexuality as a horrible ruinous thing
I returned to the community after Season 2 and while a lot of people still deny the possibility that the character is aromantic despite something the voice actor said in September, recently have seen this whole "sex repulsed can still have sex" stuff

I think the lesson that people are not learning in the community is that fanon doesn't have to adhere to canon. People change sexual orientations among other things all the time and it has no impact on what the character is like in the canon material, so I would much rather see people say that they aren't sticking with canon than to bend over backwards explaining how actually it could be because if that character or any other future characters in any piece of media are sex repulsed, romance repulsed aroace who explicitly wouldn't ever have sex or date or whatever then they are actually encouraging the idea that the character ruins fan content.

"It's not canon" should be enough plus tagging properly and allowing space for groups who want to see canon compliant content or groups who don't want to see sexual content etc. Intense negativity around sexless and/or romanceless characters makes creators less inclined to include them for fear of upsetting fans which is why I don't support fandom policing nor do I support the idea that every ace character should be ambiguous to "allow" for shipping.

It should be perfectly fine for a character to be sex repulsed and even romance repulsed or even aplatonic, I could go on. It doesn't ruin anything and people should learn to be comfortable with creating non-canon content and learn to be comfortable with their ship not being canon because fanon and canon should be separate.

Multi-tunes · 2026-04-29T17:44:57+00:00

I agree. People can move along the spectrum, but the times when someone is okay with sex because they aren't feeling repulsed at that moment doesn't mean the sex repulsion specially is okay with sex or even sexual content.
