I think I may be late to the party but wtf is up with Jughead now being asexual? I used to read and collect the old digests when I was younger and clearly remember his relationship with his time travel GF, January, and a slight fondness for Betty sometimes.
January:
And Betty.

>asexual
Wow these bigots erasing sexuality. I can't believe they would change Riverdale's only burgersexual. We gotta get tumblr in on this too.
>>89149640
Wow that was actually really nice. You mind storytiming it at some point, if you have the rest?
>>89149592
It's basically just that idiots with a simple memory, or that didnt read enough Archie comics just recall Jughead as a simple asexual wiseass. This is because unlike Archie, who was the main romantic lead, and Reggie, who was his romantic rival, Jughead was usually this emotionally safe refuge who constantly avoided relationships. Which, since the writers liked fucking with him- gave him the ugliest fucking chick as a romantic liason he'd never accept.
It's obvious that modern views of the writings would have him as a sweet asexual, since the writers of the past never gave him a real girl.
The better question is, why the fuck is Erica Henderson still getting work? This doesn't look as bad as Squirrel Girl, but it's not great. I remember the main Archie book a couple of years ago having good art and don't get me started on Afterlife With Archie's superb art.
>>89149693
I wish I did. Most of my physical digests got ruined in a basement flood few years ago.
>>89149605
Yea pretty much Archie with Tits. Only thing he'd be partially interested in.
>>89149859
She's fast. Usually the answer.
>>89149859
Its because todays indie crowds prefer unique looking art ,rather than good.
>>89149640
Is this just Jughead fucking with her though?
>>89149977
You know, that was also Jughead's problem. He basically wants a Betty- a problem free, emotionally stable, hot, steady, not too aggressive, but still loving, ect. At any time he's shown in the comics affection for a girl- she's usually some high tier quality girl or really unique. Hot girls ALONE dont work for him.
>>89150078
Truth, man aims for the sky. Won't get out of bed for nothing but a rare treasure.
>>89150057
There's actually been several stories along those lines; some of the few times Jughead has blown up at Archie was because of his treatment of Betty. Plus Betty has expressed some interest in him in the past as well.
Before the personalities really become set, they were probably debated pairing them off and ending the love triangle altogether but decided against it.
Looking into more of this asexual BS and read the 1-2 recent issue scans of him accidentally leading Sabrina on, just because she was in a burger suit for work.
He friendzoned Sabrina hard just because of his "low libido." The fuck, man.
>>89149592
asexual doesn't mean you don't date people, it's more about not being motivated by lust, which kinda makes sense for Jughead since he only wants to fuck burgers.
>>89150323
Any chance you could save me the effort and post a pic of Sabrina in this burger costume?
>>89150323
>all i want is to hang out with a giant tlaking burger
At least, they've confirmed that hes Burgersexual like we all knew.
>>89150323
>reused panel pasting the burger over the same face.
For fuck sake Henderson it looks like he's biting his thumb.
>>89150385
Burger Time.
>>89150553
Haha that's ridiculous.
Thanks.
>>89149974
Oh man I'm sorry bro. That's tough.
>>89149592
Who gives a shit. If they're going to change fucking anyone's sexualiy Jughead becoming asexual is the least of our worries.
>>89149605
>>89149640
Who cares about these half assed romances. Jughead is more fun when he's self-centered burger lover.
>>89150553
That's friggin' adorable.
>>89150524
That's not Henderson
>>89149592
Why is the bitch drawing Squirrel Girl still getting work?
>>89150553
Is this a loss edit?
>>89151753
Not enough panels, sadly.
>>89149592
What's your problem? It's hardly inconsistent with his previous characterisation.
>b-but he had a love interest that one time
Yeah, and there was the thing with Midge in Life with Archie but it's sweet fuck all in the scheme of things. Archie has been going on for like 75 years. For the vast, vast majority of that time, it's been a core part of Jughead's character that he isn't interested in girls or romance.
They just slapped a label on something that's been there since your grandparents were kids. It's a complete non-issue.
why is /co/ so easily triggered by even the most minor changes to characters. Actually this isn't even a change, it's just applying a label to something that's been a part of his characters the whole time.
>>89153122
Because "assexuality" isn't a real orientarion.
>>89153178
fucking Jughead
>>89153309
sure it is. It's just literally not giving fucks. Some can be psychologically induced to not get aroused by anyone, male or female, ugly or not. Though I can't really imagine how that feels.
>>89149640
That's not him not being asexual, it's him being a good friend and cheering up Betty after Archie, once again, dumps her for Veronica. He flat out tells her that he hates women.
>>89149605
He's asexual in 99% of all comics. I'm fine saying the one comic where he's a time traveling detective with a gf isn't cannon, just like the comic where Archie fights the predator, or when Sabrina starts a zombie apocalypse.
>>89153444
Jugs always has a special place in his heart for Betty. Not romantically but he always considers her more of a bro in a lot of the comics.
>>89153122
applying labels without discrimination means that the millenials are involved, and they're little pissants who ruin everything they touch, don't want to get 9-6 jobs, buy ahouse in the suburbs, or any other important, vital part of growing up and being a true American.
I always thought this was the case, or one of those weird people who are into inanimate objects.
Jughead's only come off to me as burgersexual
>>89150278
I always liked jughead because he was based as fuck
>>89153504
I'm going to enjoy reading the werewolf Jughead comic coming out.
>>89153503
I dunno he's pretty open to his preferences. Sometimes it's hotdogs, sometimes it's pies.
>>89153534
He's experimenting.
>>89153318
>>89154087
You know I'm a bit sad that Betty never ended up with Juggy in the Archie marries Veronica series.
>>89153390
Assexuality is just how much you have a sex drive, NOT what you are into.
Also, if you are psychologically induced to not get aroused by anyone, you have mental problems, and should look for a treatment.
>>89153309
Asexual here. It just means I don't really enjoy the idea of having sex with anyone, man or woman. Is it really that strange that not 100% of people in the world would like something?
