Could it possibly be... just maaaybe... someone who has just never fallen in love before? Who maaaybe will someday?
And then there is that too :P - I agree totally on that point. People do love classifying and I tend to go with the flow as I'm always up for discussion and creating assumptions but even then, at the end, only the artist/creator knows what they intended to do. I think it's interesting to see how people view things differently though. The same thing can be perceived in different ways.
I personally dont really like debating issues of communities I'm not personally involved in, like trans, genderfluid, and ace/axe, because my lack of involvement prevents me from fully understanding it in a way where I can express my though from school the point of my ignorance while avoiding offending those who these issues reach directly.
That being said I also feel regarding these characters falling in love in stories which love did not exist for them before, perhaps they weren't meant to portray ace/ axe but nodding to those issues while portraying a different character type all together, the dandere. Although the resemblance only really applies to romance, perhaps these authors are simply taking a more extreme and realistic version of this character troupe instead of the usual "dandere falls in love with the first person she meets (MC)." That's my interpretation at least.
