A box!?

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

i feel like we've "aros can still date" and "aces can still have sex" and "it's a spectrum"-ed ourselves into an ecosystem where a character has to look directly into the camera and go "i do not experience any romantic/sexual attraction under any circumstances and i have zero interest in dating/having sex at any point in my life" for people to even consider the idea that they might be anything other than romance or sex favorable. it's like people don't know what to do with a character who just doesn't want to date or fuck with no wiggle room
