Do asexual and aromantic spectrum people like romance and sexuality depicted in their media (ignore how many times I say “depict” in the video, by the way)? I wrote and filmed this one on a whim, so let me know your thoughts in the comments. Is amatonormativity and the over saturation of romantic media to blame for our distaste, or do we just… not like it? In this video, I point to audiences ability to insert themselves into romantic narratives, the structure of romance literature and characterization, the need for connection irrespective of orientation, amatonormativity and its manifestations, sex-aversion, representation, and individual interests in order to dissect how those on the a-spectrum view romantic/sexual media.
