“While there can still be a tendency for allosexual characters in YA science fiction to perform⟳ conscious and unconscious microaggressions against ace, acespec, aro and arospec characters, some recent novels manage⟳ to challenge⟳ the aphobic presumption of compulsory sexuality, and to ultimately create⟳ and sustain asexual-inclusive speculative worlds.”
