The Ace Couple

Although there is a large history of anti-ace sentiment leeching into laws and policy across many countries, Asexuality as an identity has now been outright criminalized for the first time in history, that we know of.

A tableau of Ace Joy from our personal experience. An in-person finale for our 3+year-long all-ace D&D campaign.

Here's a very casual chit chat about some of our funniest asexual moments. May they be relatable or at least funny!

Is Ryland Grace AroAce? Either way, let's dig into why this movie resonates so heavily with this community.

Due to Unicode's acephobia, Courtney's mom can't send us a proper "Happy Pride Month" text and that's why the elephant should forever be enshrined as an iconic symbol of Ace history.

Two nights in St. Louis, two drunk women who said exactly the wrong thing to us. A goofy little story time.

Welp...the US government thinks we're terrorists now...

A podcast about love could have spoken to an us, an Asexual couple going on 12 years of marriage. Instead, they spoke to a red-pilled psychologist who tells women that in order to keep a man, they need to be younger, hotter, and have more "cheap" sex with them.

According to the HRC's 2025 Annual LGBTQ+ Community Survey, Asexuals are dealing with sharper declines in acceptance, outness, and visibility than LGBTQ+ adults overall.

The 3rd and FINAL season of Ca$h and his mixed-orientation ace/allo relationship.

...And it was TERRIBLE!

Life is Strange: Reunion recently dropped! But coming off of Double Exposure, we're left asking...where is Diamond Washington? WHERE is the continued Ace Rep??

For 2026's first round of weird allo reality shows, we're comin in hot with commentary on Age of Attraction! Plus an honorary mention of Building the Band, even though it's not technically a dating show.

It's been almost a year since we've waded into a new subreddit, so let's gooooo!

The 3 P's and the 3 M's are two sides of the same right wing coin.

Climbers are rightfully discussing the case of a man who left his girlfriend to die on Austria's tallest mountain. Notably missing from this conversation, however, is naming the underlying abuse and ableism inherent to walking ahead of your partner- even in situations that are not as obviously life and death.

Kansas, you are our home...and we are SO disappointed in you right now.

The last manga & webcomic episode in Royce's latest little reading kick! Let us know what else we should cover and maybe we'll get to it in another couple of years...

Nobody wants to date anymore!

We're back for another round of Ace Rep in manga and web comics! Today we talk about My Astilbe, Shades of A, and we revisit She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat.

More people should be aware that is possibility. Aces & Aros have historically already been finding family structures to accommodate this desire, but now? There's an app for that.

Today we talk Ace Rep in manga and web comics! For the first time we discuss She Love to Cook and She Loves to Eat, I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up, Dom & Mor, and Clinic of Horrors. Plus we also give an update on one of Royce's favorites, I Want to be a Wall.

Wouldn't it be great if this were the last time we ever had to pay any attention to the Heritage Foundation?

Who remembers back in 2022 when 83 religious, right-wing organizations condemned the Respect for Marriage Act while warning about the dangers of "platonic marriages"? WE DO. Well, coming off of their Project 2025 successes, here is the natural conclusion of that rhetoric.

Alastor is problematic asexual representation, not solely because he's evil. He's partially a problem because the rep is not obvious enough in the show itself for viewers who are not already entrenched in the fandom... But the biggest issue of all lies in the historically racist stereotyping that undertones his character.

Watching season 2 after a year of reflection following season 1, we have some more thoughts about how to interpret Alastor in terms of Asexual and/or Aromantic representation. But we've got even more points to make next week, so stay tuned!

Just a little light housekeeping to close out the year! What is the MarketplAce? And what isn't it? Should you visit it and shop there? (Hint: YES you should!)

We have an UPDATE on one of our favorite stories from r/AmITheAsshole Asexuality Edition. Plus, several new "best of" stories.

Are straight women concealing their boyfriends out of embarrassment on social media? According to a Vogue article, it's apparently either do that or feature them heavily in order to go viral and gain social clout, so...pick your poison.

Is Aro rep beating out Ace rep in picture books?? Today we talk about the flag-forward type of representation in children's books Under One Rainbow and Grandad's Pride.

Today we discuss a recent article about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) from the New York Times. This is simply one recent example within an increasing wave of backlash against often life-saving medical care that reinforces its point by medicalizing sexuality and demonizing queer people.

The man who once said that Asexual men are the most dangerous people in the world and claimed that college protests are a result of students not having enough sex is on a press tour, hitting all of the major news outlets and podcasts, calling Asexual males "a new species". But in using this dehumanizing language against our community, he's ignoring one of the three pillars that make up his own framework for masculinity and failing to be a Protector.

GLAAD released their 2024-2025 "Where we are on TV" report. They cite only 2 asexual characters on TV this year (a decrease from last), but unfortunately ignore key details about them, making this report underdeveloped and poorly edited at best and inaccurate and dismissive at worst.

The final installment...for now.

OK. Phobia story time...

Royce is trying very hard to keep episodes around or under an hour, so here is episode 2 of...4? Maybe?

The start of an important, yet contentious conversation. Please be nice! We put these episodes off for literal years, because historically some of you have been EXTREMELY not nice about this topic.

Yet another type of romantic and/or sexual feeling that we will simply never understand...

Ketamine can be a life-saving treatment... It can also be prohibitively expensive. And only fellow chronically ill Americans will believe the audacity of our health insurance company revealed in a series of phone calls we've had this month.

A life-saving drug.

Analyzing a 25 year old robot movie that bombed in order to make a point about sexuality, humanity, and asexual media representation because we simultaneously love and hate it.

Imagine a year where the Tony award winning best play and musical were both asexual??? Maybe Happy Ending might not be as elegant or explicit as Purpose in that regard, but honestly....please just let me have this?

Wow somehow we haven't done an AITA yet in 2025..let's fix that!

2025 Tony award winning play, Purpose, is a triumph of the stage which prominently features asexuality as one of its core themes.
