I'm still not 100% convinced ace is real anyway. Maybe I'll meet someone who proves it eventually or read something that shows it but for now I gotta be walking around with problematic thoughts

They're trying to do this because they have no other framework to think about it with. It's basically like how in the middle ages people thought that heat and cold are substances. It is a stupid an inappropriate thing to do, and you're right to roll your eyes at it, but society is not ready to have this conversation because it's trapped in the idea that stonewall is the start of history and everything needs a stripe flag made for it.

...anyway. I'm pretty sure Entrapta's strongly implied to be on the autism spectrum or some equivalent, not helped by an isolated upbringing (a painting implies she was raised by robots), given she has very poor social skills and a poor grasp of nonverbal communication, a poor grasp of ideas like loyalty and morality, only eats certain foods prepared in a specific way and admits to having a very difficult time understanding people compared to the unambiguity and order of machines. (That she probably had the island whispering that in her head doesn't help) Sadly, she fits in pretty well with the Horde, since the whole theme there is basically arrested development. Scorpia is childish and naive despite being a doom trooper because she was brought up in a very black-and-white upbringing, and has likely been lying to herself to remain positive, likely what Adora would have turned out like if she hadn't turned traitor. Catra goes without saying.

I don't think we really have data to determine whether Entrapta is ace or not, but I don't get why people are so confused and skeptical of the idea of asexuals existing?? I know pop culture hammers home that hypersexuality is EVERYONE'S default state but it doesn't seem to hard to figure that some people just don't want to gently caress. Honestly it's progress that cartoons can exist where not every character is implicitly inevitably interested in the opposite sex as an extension of their existence as fundamental as breathing and proceeds to take up increasing amounts of the show with an incredibly tedious and poorly written 'romance'.

I just like when villains in shows are actually friends or care about each other in some way rather than jumping to betray each other at the first chance they get. Whether or not Hordak and Entrapta becomes romantic or not, I'm happy with their development thus far. It would be really cute if it was romantic though. Edit - When the gently caress is Season 5?

Entrapta almost didn't bother to care about saving the planet because the science of watching the planets destruction was just too cool. If you want a reason for her not pursuing relationships it is probably related to that.

I don't know if Hordak and Entrapta's relationship will ever be obviously romantic and to be honest, I don't need it to be. I ship it in a way where I mostly just want them to hang out together and be weird amoral science buddies forever.

Also, the idea that weird nerds with horrible social skills who don't make cringeworthy active passes at people the find attractive must be asexual is another really bad stereotype. I blame The Big Bang Theory again. Hell, Bojack Horseman is better at it.

If you want a reason for her not pursuing relationships it is probably related to that. She didn't care about saving the planet in season one when Catra's plan revolved around loving up the environment, but that was arguably a plan that wouldn't actually destroy it on any level and only rearrange things. When she realizes that the plan in season three will unambiguously gently caress up the planet, she has no problem committing to "we can't do this; at least not until we've found a way to not have it gently caress up the planet".

Sea Hawk is alright because there's no way he's not an absolute bisexual disaster, he just happens to have found a lady this time.

Yea, I could definitely see him as someone who hits on anyone or anything without any regard to gender or even form really. It did seem like him and Bow might be what the show was hinting towards for a while too, since Mermista didn't seem to care about him and find him more of an annoyance. She still does, obviously, but it seems more like she sees him as her annoyance and by Triton, no-one will take that from her.

Using "ace" as shorthand is convenient but everytime I see it I picture the classic 1950s greaser in a leather jacket and shades snapping his fingers pointing at something cool and saying "Aces!"
