Controversies
- Before Vengeful, the sequel to Vicious, was released, Schwab said on Twitter that Vengeful would make Victor (the main character) canonically asexual.[1]
There is a brief mention of how Victor has never been aroused by naked people, implying a lack of sexual attraction, but since the scene takes place at a strip club it could also mean he is Demisexual. Shortly after, it is described how Victor was not interested in sex with his former crush either, therefore confirming that he is in fact Asexual and not Demisexual. The author has also since then stated several times on Twitter that he is in fact asexual. [2][3][4]
