Most of the Five fanatics i see are aromatic, asexual or literally both. Is Five a magnet to people that hate some aspect of romance or sex? Let me know because I'm literally aroace

i know we're trying to get the aspec tags trending by valentines day so im gonna name some characters thatre aspec bc im aspec and i said so!
sherlock holmes (sherlock, bbc) - asexual, demiromantic.
he literally only has sex with one person ever and its for a case.
ppl come onto him and he doesnt even know???
he literally doesnt understand the difference between a date and hanging out with your friends. the difference being that a date might end in sex. he never thinks about sex so he doesnt see the correlation
morpheus (the sandman) - demisexual, biromantic
in canon hes only ever had kids/had sex with people he had to go through actual emotional turmoil to get to
also like aro-spec probs demiromantic bc it takes him several centuries to realise he likes hob (centennial husbands is cannon idc)
man is obviously a hopeless romantic which is why the existence of any of his exes plummets him into misery, which means hed see sex as an act of romance not lust. demisexual. bc i said so.
johnny c (johnny the homicidal maniac) - asexual, greyromantic
this man feels vague romantic attraction once in his whole source material and is so befuddled he tries to murder the bitch, ruining any chance he had with her because he made her agoraphobic
he HATES bodily fluids. sex repulsed. he doesnt wanna see ur jizz.
bro has no time for sex. bros gotta feed a wall.
five hargreeves (the umbrella academy) - asexual, aromantic
blud dated a mannequin. he does not understand relationships. because he doesnt want one!
dolores was simply a projection of the fact that romance is supposed to make you feel whole or whatever and he went crazy while living alone in the apocalypse
and hes so fucking autistic so he got really attached to the object bc that what the tism does to a man
thats all for now. goodnight tumblr.

everyone has the right to whatever head canons they want and whatever but the five hargreeves aroace canon REALLY rubs me the wrong way bcuz a. he literally experiences romantic and sexual attraction to dolores in canon b. it feels VERY much like a tone deaf stereotype of “oh, the cold, emotionless character is aroace” (even tho five is far from emotionless, he just bottles up his emotions and usually thinks with logic) and c. it infantilizes him. oh, he’s in a child’s body, of course he’s aroace, right? five is a FIFTY EIGHT YEAR OLD MAN and his BIGGEST insecurity is looking like his 13 yr old self. it doesn’t bother me as much when people that are ACTUALLY on the aroace spectrum say this shit but when ur not tbh it just gives me the ick. probably gonna get hella hate for this but someone had to say it

The asexual Five Hargreeves narrative is an incredibly damaging narrative in the LGBTQ+ community and I need to talk about it because I don't see anyone else doing so.
Before I start, I'm asexual myself. And this is just my views. I don't mean to talk over other ace identifying people's opinions or headcanons. This is just my experience with the character.
If a fellow acespec identifying person headcanons Five to be asexual then I have no issue with that AT ALL, but other members of the LGBTQA+ do not get to just label him as ace simply because he's "in a relationship with a mannequin". That is such a damaging narrative that I have seen being spread around for far too long.
In my opinion, Five never had any opportunity to develop or discover his sexual preferences because he was thrown into the apocalypse alone at a young age. He was a child when he was left completely alone without any other human being.
The amount of times I have seen "Five is asexual, that's why he's with Delores," on social media is simply gross. Asexuality does not mean a person is attracted to inanimate objects. Five's attraction to Delores came solely from his trauma of being thrown into a difficult situation alone at the age of thirteen.
Asexuality should not just be pinned onto a character because they aren't in a relationship with another human being. Five is shown to canonically roll his eyes whenever anyone discusses relationships or sex, and that is a very acespec experience. If that's the reason why you headcanon Five to be asexual then great.
Aphobes use the narrative "you can't know if you're ace if you haven't had sex" or "you can't know if you're aro if you haven't been in a relationship" to erase and belittle acespec experiences for decades now. That's not at all what I am saying.
I just think that the narrative that Five has to be asexual because he likes a mannequin (which is never confirmed to be sexual, nor romantic) is incredibly damaging. And the idea that he "must be asexual because he shows no interest in sex" is not necessarily an accurate representation because he never had that chance to develop his relationship (or lack of) with attraction in the way an adolescent should.
I, personally, view Five to be unlabeled. I don't think he'd have the slightest interest in any of that. I don't think he quite understands sexuality enough to give himself a label.

I never related to the idea that some people thought they were broken before they discovered what asexuality was. I always knew with certainty that I would never feel that kind of attraction toward anyone and I was always content with that. When I found out about the Asexual spectrum in 9th year I was so proud of that part of my identity. It has since then been the piece of myself that I've felt the biggest connection with and the only part of me that I've felt was even worth being prideful about.
Aromanticism, on the other hand, has haunted me ever since I learned what it was. I've always known that my perception of relationships was vastly different compared to those around me and I always told myself it was purely due to my asexuality. Sure, I didn't feel that kind of connection with my partners or crave the things that other people did but of course that had to be because of my asexuality and nothing more.
Aromanticism made me feel broken in a way that I struggle to describe. Not in the sense that there's something inherently wrong with me because of my orientation. Rather, I had held onto the idea that I could have a traditionally romantic connection for so long that I feel like it's been taken away from me and it's left a hole in its place. Aromanticism made me feel broken in the sense that a piece of myself had been stolen as opposed to I was manufactured wrong from the start.
I've struggled with that part of my identity for an unbelievably long time now despite all the other personal struggles that have come and gone. It's only very recently that I've let myself even entertain the idea regardless of the fact that I've known it to be the truth since the beginning. It's within the past few weeks since I've created this blog that I've really started to feel a sense of acceptance toward my aromanticism and it's purely because of all the people in this fandom I see with Five profiles proudly talking about their AroAce identities and posting AroAce Five content. I understand it isn't canonical and that some people even wholeheartedly disagree but from what little I do know about Gerard Way I don't think they'd mind the representation the AroAce community has found in his character.
There's just something so simultaneously comforting and validating in seeing other people like me project onto this character I cherish so deeply something that I dislike about myself. It feels less like something that's been taken from me and finally more like a part of me that connects me to other people. For the first time, I feel like aromanticism has connected me to something and it's helped me so much in sitting myself down and realizing that it's okay.
This is the first time I've truly acknowledged that I am, in fact, aromantic. Even to myself. For a few months I've had a few very limited conversations about the possibility with a very small group of people but never really admitted it to myself fully. It doesn't feel as life-changing anymore.
To the few AroAce TUA mutuals I have and the handful of bigger AroAce TUA blogs I follow, should you see this, I want to thank you sincerely for filling such a supportive role in my terribly long journey to self-acceptance. It means more to me than I could ever express and I still can't manage to explain it as well as I wish I could.

(I couldn't put multiple flags but there could have been aromantic for Five, arospec and nonbinary for Klaus, ace for Ben, Queer for Viktor.....) I just love a bunch of queer siblings

Lila at her first dinner with the family: Okay, you guys, look - I know this is none of my business, but I just - I have to ask.
Lila: What’s Five’s deal?
The Hargeeves: *all stop eating and glance at each other*
Diego, clearing his throat: What do you mean, deal?
Lila, creeped out: Ya know, like - what’s his deal? Is it girls, guys, sock puppets?
Klaus, thinking about yesterday when Five went on a two-hour long rant about the stupidity of romcoms: Honestly, we’ve been operating under the assumption that he has no deal.
Lila, exasperated: Oh, come on, everybody has a deal.
Five, from outside: *savage war cry*
Klaus, turning to watch Five cut people into little pieces outside: Not Five.
The Hargreeves: *stare*
Five, coming back in covered in blood and with an axe: Oh, nice, chicken. What’d I miss?
The Hargreeves: *start making him a plate*
Lila, muttering under her breath: I shoulda stayed with the fuckin’ Handler, honestly -
