All the love to 2D! Gorillaz has been a big part of my life since I was 11/12 so this really just makes me happy to know that my favourite thing is always gonna be open to change. They're part of my reason for being comfortable enough to come out in 2020... and they're my reason for feeling comfortable rediscovering parts of myself I thought I had to leave behind.

She has done representation through side characters before which is good but the point is we don't see their stories develop because the main characters have had first person pov. So tgg is one of the biggest missed opportunity in my eyes.

I personally would have loved to see atleast one queer love stories taking centre stage in TGG where we could see them develop

Another personal opinion (no one is obligated to agree please scroll if you don't agree) is that in GU instead of Hannah's pov (Which is literally the same in TSBAF I don't understand having the same content twice is two seperate books) we could have gotten Thea and Rebecca's story instead

Now I am well aware not everyone has to write a queer story but Jlb has done so before with her side characters (which shows she is capable of writing a queer story), so why not give a queer story to a main character a who has connections to main plot and play a vital role (aka representation that matters and not just for the sake of it)

All I am saying is no hate to the canon couples but yeah one of the pov characters could have easily been a part of lgbtq+ and their story would have been just as beautiful

You cannot convince me otherwise. Here's my proof:

Signed, an aroace aegosexual (just like Georgia)

(edit) forgot to add one pic:

for example, I've seen a lot of "don't say ace people don't have sex because that's harmful to the sex favourable aces" and the opposite: "don't say ace people can have sex because what about the sex repulsed/averse?"

and they're both valid points, but because of it, aspec posts have to cater to the entire spectrum or risk starting arguments over this. Ideally, people could look at an aspec post and accept that it's for a different part of the aro/ace spectrum to where they are, but that's where the public unawareness comes in

because outside of the aspec communities, there's so little understanding of what the terms mean, that people within the community have to make every post generic so that the unaware won't see one post and make an assumption for the entire community based on it.

I know Vizi said that you can have "respectful fun" with Alastor ships but there really is no way to "respectfully" ship a aroace character (unless it's queer platonic ig?) I know it's silly to expect a fandom not to ship especially with a character like Alastor but I thought more people would at least attempt to respect his sexuality.

Like I said before if it was any other character's sexuality being disrespected and disregarded people would throw a fit (rightfully so) I'm just sick one of the only aroace characters in the media is being erased by the fandom like this.
