> i will never ever forgive the magnus archives fandom for . well a lot of things actually. i do enjoy tma but trying to interact with anyone who liked it post s4/during s5 was and is still a nightmare and i genuinely believe it changed the audiodrama sphere for the worse. anyways. i will never forgive them for what they did about Jon and his asexuality because like for me when they first talked about it i nearly cried i was so fucking happy that like. finally. someone like me . someone who didnt want to have sex and that was fine and it wasnt an issue and he was happy and like. sound in that. as a sex-repluse asexual kid it was like. i dont know it was so cool that the protag of one of the most popular podcasts was in fact. asexual. and then for all these people to go ☝️some asexuals ! 😁do have sex actuall y. and its fine and heres my 20k jmartin smut fic was like. so awful and disheartening. BECAUSE ITS LIKE. YES. THATS TRUE. there are asexuals who have and enjoy sex but none of the people writing these or talking about it were actually examining his asexuality from that angle. no one was actually willing to discuss the nuances and fluidity and spectrum of asexuality it all just felt like an excuse to write smut . which like Whatever i guess it do what you want but do you understand how upsetting and frustrating that was for me and other people like me. there is a discussion to be had about, again, the nuances and how sexuality differs for everyone and thats a beautiful thing but again. no one was actually talking about this . is it not enough that they love eachother. you're pushing this idea that sex needs to be involved for a relationship to mean anything and thats simply not fucking true. i dont know.

> and its the same way and same issue with like. malevolent in that everyone is so so so fucking obsessed with jarthur, where its been specifically said in podcast iirc that arthur is kind of implied to be aro and or ace in some way, and people are still trying to like. push this. its so frustrating because genuinely not to sound like a jackass here is it Not Enough that they are friends. is it not enough that they care about eachother and love eachother in a way that does not involve romance. can two people just care about eachother is that not enough. i dont know. its so so frustrating and im unfortunately not the most articulate but it makes me so . upset and tired trying to interact with the audiodrama sphere anymore. i dont know. whataver
