Im asexual, and Im legit confused when watching most media portrayals of romantic and sexual relationships. From my perspective, either the majority of humanity is a bunch of sex obsessed idiot bullies, or portrayals of sexual relationships are just unrealistic. I legit can't tell which is the case.
If it's the former, then I'm clearly the weird one for getting extremely bored during these scenes, in which case I should just admit that most media isn't made for me. On the other hand, I just get frustrated when the fate of the worlds on the line and all the characters can think about is whether this person likes them! Nothing takes me out of a story faster than that, when the writers feel the need to take a break from interesting stuff to write the most boringly annoying scenes that just feel completely pointless to me.
I'm probably the weird one here honestly. About 90% of songs are about romantic love too, and I don't understand the lack of creativity there either. So I'm probably just wired a bit differently and just don't really get what most of humanity takes for granted.
