Hey guys I love polyam representation as much if not more than the next guy but why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is why didn't they make Jughead the repulsed aroace that he is

It's all "you guys need to understand how SUBTEXT and CODING are usually the only confirmation of representation queer people get in media especially in older media" but once that subtext and coding is used to say a character might be aro or ace coded/have aro/ace subtext then suddenly it's not a valid way to claim representation. Then it's only "headcanon" or "not confirmed" like do you all hear yourselves? It'd be so much easier to say you hate aro/ace ppl at this rate!

TIL that theres aphobes on Tumblr trying to claim that Jughead Jones has actually been gay coded the whole time and that saying he's ace is homophobic I fucking hate it here

It's interesting that when I complain "jughead shouldn't have been portrayed as a cishet guy in Riverdale, because we don't have nearly enough asexual representation on tv, we shouldn't lose canon ace characters to straightwashing", I'm being stupid and it's "classic interpretation". Same for Deadpool.

But heaves forbid if a cishet character is represented as queer in new productions, suddenly everyone lose their shit. And their screams of WOKE deafen you. You know what sweetie? It's the "modern interpretation"! Deal with it!

Ok for Ace Week : here’s my fav CANON aspec characters. Regrettably there’s really not very many of them but here’s to hoping we get more major rep in the future ❤️

Just a reminder:

Alastor is aroace (canon)

Alastor is sex repulsed (canon as shown in the show)

He is a sex-repulsed aroace and unless you are a fellow aspec I don't wanna see a non-aspec ship themselves with him or anyone else with him unless it's QPR art.

Thank you :3

So can we get a thread going of characters who are canoncially aromantic and/or asexual? Here I'll start us off, honestly I need more media to consume so this'll double as a reccomendations dump.

Jughead Jones from Archie Comics - Aromantic Asexual

Parvati Holcomb from Outer Worlds- Asexual Biromantic

Erasmus Van Richten from Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft- Aromantic

It's all 'its not right to erase queer identities' right up until that identity is Aspec isn't it?

not me saving every panel with Laius and Izutsumi being aro and or ace 🫣

OK but the way that the Musical itself seems to reflect the comics characterisation more then the show (Re-instating the love triangle, Jughead constantly bringing up food and seemingly having no interest in women, Cheryl supposedly being into Archie) and then the show characters actively reject those characterisations and one by one leave and/or strive to change the Musical (Betty and Veronica change their song from a love song about Archie to a love song about each other and kiss, thus subverting the love triangle and meanwhile Archie, instead of protesting this, decides separately to end the love triangle to focus on himself, Jughead leaves the Musical after the first number deeming it beneath him, Cheryl alongside Toni campaign for a queer love song and leave when it isn't added.) Hell, Archie isn't even in the Musical by the end, literally symbolising that the Archie in the musical isn't Riverdale Archie, thus separating Riverdale further from the comics canon and restating that while on paper the show is based off of the Archie comics it is in name only for the most part and in practice basically none of these characters could (or should, in the eyes of the writer's in all likelyhood) be considered the same as their comic counterparts—

Comics Jughead Jones truly one of the long-time queer-coded turned canonically queer characters of all time
