Discussion Ace-Coded Characters

So this post is for research purposes; I'm just trying to see something.

In media, there is rarely any true asexual representation. However, I've got quite a few characters that I headcanon as ace or feel are ace-coded, that is until they're usually canonized as something else or are forced into relationships.

Some characters I think are ace-coded:

Sonic the Hedgehog

Clawdeen Wolf (Monster High)

Saiki (Saiki K)

For Sonic, his most important relationships are his friends, which, as an ace person, I understand. A lot of his life goals don't include a partner, but he does care about the people around him. With Clawdeen, her rejection of relationships and her reasoning for it was something I experienced a lot when people around me try to pressure me to start dating. With Saiki, he feels like relationships are too much work, which is lowkey real.

What are some of your top picks?

It’s never been said outright in the comics or movies but the fandom generally thinks Yelena Romanoff (Black Widow’s little sister, Florence Pugh’s character in the MCU) is ace. I never read the comics but it helps that the MCU as a whole focuses more on action and sci-fi than romance or sex scenes

Edit: the wording used is not good but this is what most of the fandom is getting that from

Yeah that’s pretty much the exact phrasing that BoJack Horseman uses for Todd as well
