SPOILER ALERT FOR SEASON 3 AFTER THE BREAK (only about which character is ace):

Todd Chavez (played by Aaron Paul) comes out as asexual in Season 3 Episode 12 of BoJack Horseman, ‘That Went Well’.



Todd does not use the term ‘asexual’ on the show but replies with the following when asked what his deal is/if he is gay.

“I’m not gay. I mean, I don’t think I am, but… I don’t think I’m straight, either. I don’t know what I am. I think I might be nothing.”

However, Todd’s voice actor, Aaron Paul, noted in an interview with The New York Times that Todd, “may be the first asexual character on television.”*

Todd’s coming out (as well as other characters’ reactions to it) are also handled masterfully and respectfully by the show’s creator @boringoldraphael​, so if you haven’t already gotten into the series WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Now, please excuse me while I take a leaf out of Todd’s book and celebrate this awesome piece of positive representation:



HOORAY!



*Todd is not the very first asexual character on TV, but is definitely one of the first, particularly on a show as popular/well-respected/generally wonderful as BoJack.
