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] It should be noted that 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, so this may be considered insufficient information to determine whether or not Victor is canonically asexual. The author has since stated several times on Twitter that he is in fact asexual, though the community remains divided on whether or not this counts as representation. [3][4][5]
