While LGBTQ+ representation has improved, asexual characters remain underrepresented in popular culture. GLAAD's reports have highlighted this issue, with only two asexual characters counted on TV until recent years. Iconic representations include Jughead from Archie Comics, although his asexuality was not recognized in the adaptation Riverdale. On the other hand, Todd from BoJack Horseman stands out as one of the few well-developed asexual characters, experiencing a heartfelt journey of self-discovery. As International Asexuality Day approaches, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for diverse representation.
"In 2016, it was confirmed that Jughead, the crown-wearing character in Archie Comics, is asexual. Unfortunately, that didn't translate to the TV adaption of the comic, Riverdale."
"Todd Chavez - BoJack Horseman has arguably one of TV's most high-profile representations of asexuality with the wacky and loveable Todd (Aaron Paul)."
