I found out, a while, that there's an axe wielding, blonde Canadian lesbian on YouTube

Reminder,
Pride month is just when companies shill out and act like they're allys.
Don't let only one month of the year dictate when you're allowed to show your pride.

Is Sorawo aroace tho? Demi-romantic ace I could see I guess, but she loves Toriko back, and outright admits to it in vol 8. She's just afraid of admitting it to herself. She's also definitely attracted to Toriko's body, (she's always starring at Toriko's tits, among other things, and has been doing so consistently since they first met. It's super obvious to Toriko even if Sorawo herself doesn't realize she's doing it) so the ace part is questionable too. Really she's been super into Toriko from the very beginning, sexually and romantically, she's just so in denial of it that she doesn't realize it herself, because she's scared of things like being in a relationship or having sexual desires. Honestly, Sorawo's aversion to sex and romance reads more as a trauma response than anything to do with her sexuality imo. Toriko even starts theorizing about Sorawo maybe being a CSA survivor to explain her behaviour. Sorawo denies it, but she's already demonstrated that her memories from the cult period of her life are unreliable, and it would explain a lot of things, like, so many things about her, so who knows?

@Roodypatooti you already answered it in your own comment but yeah Sorawo has some "hang-ups" regarding sex/intimacy but she's not aro or ace.
@Lewdholder I read your comment in Christopher Walkin's voice, because of, the commas

@GrimEater I mean there is that side, however I think it's also a time for people to celebrate like this artist is doing. Along with a good time for people to come together. Companies don't hold all the power one way or another. Also I do agree with the sentiment of showing your pride year round.

IIRC it was once mentioned that Toriko took part in a pride parade with her moms in Canada so fanart like this makes sense in context.

I mean, she could be aroace as both aro and ace are huge spectrums but I feel like she would need a more specific category for each as aroace has a tendency of feeling like 100% not interested no matter what, but I know that feels a bit nitpicky...

@DrJamesFox Guess it depends on if people have read volume 8 or not, since that volume further clears up her feelings and preferences quite a bit. But I agree. Not a big deal either way though.
