another Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I don't know if this has been mentioned here before, because I haven't been around much recently. But anyway: there's an asexual character called Collin in a webcomic called Boy Meets Boy. Some strips where he appears: - http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20020430.html - http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20020607.html - http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20030510.html - http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20030511.html Link to post Share on other sites
Eta Carinae Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20020430.html This strip is not exactly asexuality-positive. http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20030510.html Nor is this one. http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20030511.html Or this one. Looks like more of the same "asexuals don't really exist" BS we've seen time and time again. Color me profoundly unimpressed. Link to post Share on other sites
another Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Eh, I like it. I know that the comic is about homosexuals and that their relationship isn't exactly asexual... but still. I dunno. *feels really stupid for posting this now* Link to post Share on other sites
ogbg Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 "Oh mah stars and heavens!!" -Bunnie Rabbot Well, ah, look at the bright side! (thinks really really hard) Uh... asexuality was... mentioned!! So... maybe even if it wasn't *accurate*, aan asexual person will one day stumble across the comic and learn the word "asexual" and say, "Hey! That's me! :D " and we'll have another new member of AVEN!!! Yeah!!! Er... Actually... that sounded kind of stupid. :? Link to post Share on other sites
another Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Actually... that sounded kind of stupid. :? Heh, not as stupid as me. >_< I do know quite a few asexuals who are fond of that comic, though... Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Even though the comics made me smile (okay, smirk. A little), I have to admit it sounds like something to support the false "Asexuals are gay but just repressing" theory :? Link to post Share on other sites
wednesday's child Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 *twitch* And here I used to like that comic. I haven't read it since before that character showed up, but I don't think I'm fond of an asexual being portrayed as a grumpy people-hating hypocrite. ><; Link to post Share on other sites
