Controversies
- Before Vengeful was released, Schwab said on Twitter that Vengeful would make Victor canonically asexual.[1] The overall reaction from the community was mixed. [2] However, the passage quoted in the book in support of this only describes how Victor is not interested in sex, not that he doesn't feel sexual attraction, and the word "asexual" is never used. Interest in sex and sexual attraction are not synonymous. (Someone may be interested in sex due to reasons other than sexual attraction, and someone can be disinterested in sex itself despite experiencing sexual attraction.) Therefore, there is insufficient information to determine whether or not Victor is canonically asexual.
