    After reading the article it looks like they aren’t being prude. They just wanted to see more healthier relationship spectrums. I think that’s a fair call. Not all story points have to be about sex.

    Plus representation matters.

    There are asexuals. And many other sexuality types in the world. Violence is not making a point on that so I don’t know where you’re going with that.

    There is also echoing healthier relationships between men and women. I’ve known far too many people who cry friendzone and watch complete shit like friends and HIMYM and the various sitcoms that echo very dehumanizing, simplistic, unhealthy relationships between men and women where they stubbornly won’t relate to each other and sexuality is used as a tolerance or payoff of each other’s existence.

    So whiile we could debate gratuitous violence has an impact, I think bad relationships and how they have been presented as a template has had a different impact they are trying to discuss.

      I’m fine with asexuals and representation. But currently it feels like 99% of media is catering to either asexuals or homosexuals.

      And I bring up violence to point out the double standard. When it comes to nudity people scrutinize if it’s relevant to the plot - but don’t tend to do that with violence or clunky moral preaching.

        Asexuals and homosexuals are just the tip of the ice berg.

        Comparing to violence purposely misses the point.

      oh please you don’t need representation because you don’t want to have sex. that has been a thing for as long as can be and no one has a problem with it. the worst oppression you might face is family members asking you when you will be having a child

        You talk like anyone getting represented is taking away from you? That right there is what being a snowflake is.

          when did i say it takes anything away from me? I’m just saying it’s not particularly important every single minor facet of life needs to shoehorn representation for such a minor thing as not wanting to have sex.

            Yeah because you are perfectly exampling how a rational person who isn’t triggered by something that doesn’t specifically cater to them reacts. /s
