Asexual Representation: Todd Chavez from Bojack Horseman

Bojack Horseman. We went from hating it, to loving it, to enshrining it is as one of our all-time favorite pieces of media. In 2016, we watched in delight as season 3 teased an asexual plotline for audience-favorite Todd Chavez. And friends, it only got better from there!

    I only watched Bojack because of Todd, to the surprise of literally everyone I know. I can't really watch dark or mature things normally, so I've literally never been able to watch anything like it before. I had no idea what to expect, I bindged it in like two weeks and the people who knew about the show were very concerned for my mental health for a bit. But Todd is absolutely incredible! He is fantastic and I can't express how much he means to me.

    In the first few meetings of me and my friend, she described me as flamboyantly asexual and considers Todd flamboyantly asexual as well. She showed me the show, and almost immediately I could tell what she meant. I think those who are aware of asexuality and who are versed in asexual culture can tell he may be asexual before he ever comes out as asexual, like how you mentioned. The asexuals can tell he's asexual, but allosexuals generally don't see the signs.

    About Game of Thrones, trust me when I say they weren't padding for time. Those books are DENSE. Though 100% agree on the unnecessary sex and somewhat agree on the over indulgence on gore (the books were also very violent).

    31:25 I’m a gay allo but when I was middle school age I did just lie and pick a random girl a couple times when asked “who would you date in our grade?” or “who do you like?” I think I can very much relate with aces who feel the pressure of compulsory sexuality from society. Although in my case it was compulsory heterosexuality that was so strong I couldn’t break out of my cognitive dissonance until I was high school and was around openly out queer people. I adore y’all’s channel. The education surrounding ace issues is stellar. But you’re also just fun to listen to. You could talk about the methodical ways you clean your house and I would be entertained and invested lol.
