Yes, yes, you love Murderbot. You think Murderbot is so funny and relatable. You'd die for Murderbot. We know.
But do you actually use Murderbot's it/its pronouns? Do you actually respect the fact that it's an everything-repulsed aroace and is solitaremit touch-averse, and the fact that it represents real people who are these things?
Or do you just "love" the "relatable" version of Murderbot that exists in your head, where you've cut out and replaced everything that makes it who it is as a character with things you can personally relate to, even though the whole theme of the series is that you need to respect people even when you can't relate to them?
Do you think "representation matters" only when you're the one being represented?
Do you think it magically becomes okay to erase canon Queer identities and disabilities as long as you're not the one being represented?
Do you actually love the character of Murderbot, who is explicitly everything-repulsed aroace, nonbinary and uses it/its pronouns exclusively, and is soltaremit touch-averse?
Or do you just love the OC you've slapped its name onto that exists in your head?

If I seem like I'm "beating over the head with 'respect touch aversion or you are ableist'" it's because I am, in fact, touch-averse rather than touch-neutral, and it's not my responsibility to metaphorically hold people's hands and tell them what they should do instead, when they're going out of their way to disrespect people like me.
Anyone who's read these books should already know what the alternatives are: They should know that Murderbot doesn't like touching, and doesn't like talking about its feelings.
If they want characters to show friendliness with Murderbot, then they can just sit in a room watching TV, or watch TV together in the feed.
I am allowed to be upset about the ableism in this fandom, and it's not my responsibility to be nice about it when people are being ableist -.-
You can offer people alternatives for erasing Murderbot's touch aversion without acting like I'm being mean and bullying people for calling out the bigotry in this fandom. You said it yourself, you are literally not touch-averse. You do not get to tone police how I react to people being bigots about touch aversion.
You want to offer people tips for not being bigots? Cool, then go ahead. But do it without fucking throwing me under the bus for not being nice enough when I call out bigotry.
I am in fact touch averse. It's not my responsibility to hold anyone's hands and coddle their feelings when they're being bigots towards me and people like me.
Like, think for five seconds about why I might be so upset by people erasing Murderbot's touch aversion and making a mockery of people who are actually touch-averse. If you're more upset by me calling out the bigotry than the bigotry I'm calling out, you need to straighten out your priorities.
Especially if you're new to the fandom and haven't seen all the ableist posts regarding touch aversion that I have, and have had to put up with this bigotry your whole life -.-
Ok so having just started the Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells I was going through the Murderbot tag here and noticed 2 things. 1) people yelling about respecting Murderbot's canonical and consistent touch-repulsion but not really supplying any alternatives and 2) at least two pieces of art of what seemed to be people attempting to either respect (charitably) or get around (uncharitably) Murderbot's touch repulsion by having it "link" or "hold" pinkies with someone for comfort.
As someone who is....not exactly touch averse or repulsed but certainly touch neutral (it's not something I flinch from but it's also not something I seek out or really enjoy) I thought I could provide helpful insight for both points: namely, "here is how someone who doesn't enjoy touch would prefer it to be substituted because humans are pretty touchy feely and getting your brain around someone genuinely not enjoying that is tough" and also "this is why touching just pinkies is not the loophole you think it is".
Keeping in mind this is more meant to be for fic reference, but if it helps with insight for real life that's great too. For clarity, this is based on my experience which is mostly for sensory reasons and is not in any way trauma related; others may have different experiences.
I will start with the pinkie and why that's........super not great actually, because it will help get into the headspace which will help with "what to actually do instead".
The thing is, linking pinkies as a substitute for holding hands, which seems to be how it's being used here, does not "get around" touch aversion because it's not enough contact to "set it off". It actually does the opposite (for me). Now I have to be hyper aware of how much my pinkie is curled, how high am I holding my hand, how far away from my body is my arm, does it feel like I'm pulling on *their* arm or hand or pinkie, is my hand sweaty, do I have an itch, I can feel my joints creaking as I struggle not to move too much lest I dislodge them...etc. If the point was to offer me a point of contact that was small enough for me to be able to not notice it too much? It failed. Badly. I'd rather have a full body hug.
Linking pinkies doesn't work as a loophole because it fundamentally misunderstands the main source of the touch aversion: concentrated hyper awareness of the body. The smaller the touch the more tightly concentrated the awareness is, and the worse it will be. It's also a non-standard kind of touch which means there is NOTHING to go off of in terms of what is wanted from you, aka its a very difficult touch to "perform" (yes I'm talking about masking). Edit: Also! Your fingertips and finger pads are *designed* for sensory input! And are a part of your body that is nearly almost always uncovered! Which means a) practically GUARANTEED skin to skin contact which is Worse and b) congrats, you picked one of the few areas on the body that is Designed To Tell A Person They Are Touching Something.
What a touch averse person would prefer, if you wanted to offer comfort or convey affection, is to first and foremost *not to ask them to perform for YOUR comfort/frame of reference to begin with*.
Words of affirmation, a simple hand gesture (such as placing your hand over your heart), literally just asking them if they want to talk, sitting in silence with them (engaging in parallel play), or perhaps offering a blanket/comfy clothes/food are all much better ways to actually offer a touch averse person comfort or intimacy while also still respecting their boundary.
Actual "loopholes" in (my) touch aversion include incidental contact that doesn't last and is ignored/meaningless to all parties (such as brushing past someone or being in a crowded space), the "mom" override (when I know someone really needs physical comfort in that moment which, tbc, is doing fuck all for me and is entirely about the other person), and functional necessity (such as medical attention or grabbing someone to help them up or keep them steady). (In case anyone was keeping track, Murderbot has shown all of these "exceptions" to my knowledge.)
I just. Hope this helps with understanding the mindset instead of just being beaten over the head with "respect touch aversion or you are ableist" because i do understand its hard to wrap your head around. But we deal with it so frankly, you can deal with it too for a change.

it never fucking ends
[ID: The meme of Garfield standing in front of a poster, thinking, "Huh. I wonder who that's for". Garfield is labeled, "The majority of people in The Murderbot Diaries fandom, including other aroaces who'd rather give allos permission to be bigoted than have solidarity with other aroace people". The poster reads, "Please fucking stop erasing touch averse and nonpartnering aroace people's extremely scarce canon representation". End ID.]

ah that reminds me.
Mom, at the appeal for me to get disability SSI: [misgendering] was born 4 months premature and the doctors said the reason [misgendering] hates being touched and never even wanted to hold hands with me as a little kid is because of the way the nervous system's development was disrupted by being born so premature. As a kid [misgendering] never wanted to hold hands or hug, wouldn't even let me or the grandparents hug [misgendering]. It's a real disability that shows how disabled and not normal [misgendering] is.
Mom, literally less than 10 minutes later, bragging to the lawyer and pulling me into a hug against my will "haha but I still hug [misgendering] anyways hehehe mom's privilege hahah"
You'd think this would be an unrealistic satire if I wrote it in a fictional story, but no, it's just what actually happened and what she always does.
Feel free to reblog.

Fandoms will see a cannonically, explicitly Queer character who represents multiple of the most stigmatized groups within the Queer community and will go "okay, but what if I erase all of these traits I dislike to make ~them~ more palatable for me?"
And then act shocked when the minorities who are being purposefully erased are angry about this.
Fandom will see a characters who is canonically nonbinary, uses it/its pronouns, is aroace and viscerally disgusted by the thought of being in any kind of relationship, and hates being touched, and go
"Oooh! But ~they~ would be better if ~they~ didn't use those disgusting pronouns! Nonbinary people all use they/them! If you use it/its pronouns you're disgusting. This character uses they/them pronouns now because they're real pronouns!!!! "Ooh and don't you think ~they'd~ be so much better if ~they~ were horny for this brown man I am whitewashing for the sake of shipping with this aroace character, who I am also whitewashing for the sake of shipping.
"Oooooooooh but noo you know what'd be even better? O: if this character was a binary trans woman!!! Or a binary trans man!!!!! Because nonbinary people are gross and not real anyways :)
"Oh this blatantly autistic character explicitly says it hates being touched and only touches people in life or death situations when the literal only other option is letting them die?
"Well silly billy, don't you know that if you don't want to be touched there's something deeply, deeply wrong with you that you need to fix? I'm not being ableist by saying this, though! Really, when you think about it, you're the one who's ableist because you don't want this character's touch aversion to be healed by the power of friendship/sex/romance!!!!"
Fandom will literally see a character whose traits are demonized by all of society and go "okay but hear me out what if I demonize these Queer and disabled traits and remove everything that makes this character who it is so that it's less repulsive to me as someone whose identities are more socially accepted?"
And then insist that they're totally progressive and Queer friendly and welcoming to minorities and such a fun, safe, great fandom to hang out in.

PSA since I haven't mentioned it in a while:
"Athiktomisia" is a term for ableism specifically against touch averse people, because just calling it general "ableism" is too broad and just gives people excuses to ignore you.
It comes from the greek word that means pretty much "untouchable".
Solitaremit / solitaremity refer to a touch averse person who does not get touch starved and does not crave touch in any way.
Solitaremisia is athiktomisia specifically against touch averse people who do not want any kind of touch ever.
because even within the touch averse community there's still the idea that you must crave touch even if you don't enjoy it, or else there's something horribly inhumanely wrong with you -.-
@solitaremit is a sideblog I created to try and archive info about it.

The first thing that will always pop into my head when I think of touch averse characters who are treated like a joke will always be the Twelfth Doctor, because by the time I saw that bullshit I'd finally fucking figured out how to articulate why it was so wrong.
Twelve constantly tells people he doesn't like hugs, and then Clara tells him to shut up and hugs him without his consent. And it's meant to be funny. We're supposed to laugh at his misery.
And there are countless other examples of this athiktomisic trope, but I saw them all before I'd figured out how to describe the specific form of bigotry going on here.
This shitty trope usually comes in the form of forcing hugs on characters who say they don't like or want hugs, because according to gregariable people, everyone likes hugs! It's impossible not to want people to hug you!
This also happens in Kipo, with Wolf not liking hugs, but everyone forcing them on her anyways until she begrudgingly admits she enjoys them. That's usually how this trope ends. With the victim admitting that they do actually enjoy the touch that is being forced on them.
Because the whole point of this trope is to tell people that it's okay to violate people's consent, as long as you think you know better than they do what they really want. You can hug a person, no matter how many times they say no, as long as you think the secretly enjoy it.
As long as you claim the other person secretly enjoys it, you can do anything you want to them.
I don't fucking think I need to explain to people how this feeds directly into rape culture.

"it's possible to ship aroace characters who explicitly do not want any kind of relationship of any kind, including queerplatonic, who hate sex and hate romance and hate being touched! It's possible to ship these characters and still be respectful--"
No, it quite fucking literally is not!
If you ship this character sexually, you're erasing its asexuality!
If you ship it romantically, you're erasing its aromanticism!
If you ship it queerplatonically, you're erasing its nonplatonicity!
If you ship it sensually, you're erasing its touch aversion!
There is literally no fucking way to ship a character like Murderbot who explicitly does not want to be in any kind of relationship and hates being touched without being a bigot!
Murderbot represents real living people that you are erasing and speaking over!
You would all be flipping your shit if Murderbot were any other Queer identity besides nonbinary and aroace and people were erasing that, but because it's aroace and nonbinary and uses the Icky™ Gross™ pronouns (that you think only fictional characters use) you think that means erasing this single shred of respectful representation is magically okay now.
Literally all you have to do to not be a bigot is not be horny and weird about one (1) fictional character that canonically explicitly would hate the shit you're all writing and drawing about it.
But no, you'd all rather be bigots and erase everything that makes Murderbot who it is because it's not palatable and Relatable™ enough for you. You people are so fucking weak. You literally cannot stand to see one (1) fictional character that's different from you without immediately leaping to erase every thing about it that lets it represent real marginalized people.

yeah, no, as someone who's touch averse, we do not need more stories where touch averse people have to give up their boundaries for the sake of other people's happiness, where our boundaries are treated like a burden that does nothing but cause other people harm.
That's literally what every single facet of society already shoves down our throats, we really do not need more stories like this :[
Prompt idea: touch repulsed (unless iniciated themselves) aroace and touch starved aroace try and navegate a platonic relationship in a middleground
.

[ID: Six versions of the meme from Furutrama of a squid person shouting in a movie theater, now with the original character replaced with a drawing of Murderbot in its grey armour, with the face plate dark so you can't see its face as it shouts:
"If you erase canon Queer and disabled traits you don't like because it's not about you, you're a bad person, and you should feel bad!" "If you erase or cure Murderbot's touch aversion, you're ableist, and you should feel bad!" "If you erase Murderbot's nonbinary identity and it/its pronouns, you're exorsexist, and you should feel bad!" "If you ship Murderbot with anyone in any way, you're aroacemisic, and you should feel bad!" "If you whitewash characters of color in any way, you're racist, and you should feel bad!"

Murderbot fandom bigotry bingo round 1!
Don't want to be part of the game? Then simply don't be a bigot :) it's cheap, it's easy, it's free!
deslizada said, July 28th, 2023:
just to be clear I do not ship murderbot/gurathin and I don't ship murderbot/art sexually (????? how?????) or even really romantically, I am just baffled by how seriously a few people are taking this. like I get being annoyed/hurt by erasure but murderbot is not a real person and its autonomy is not being violated by people writing shippy fanfic. seeing a few people being annoying on the internet should not make you spin off the shits
So close!

Murderbot is aroace and specifically repulsed by the idea of being in any kind of relationship, including queerplatonic. It is also, as you admit, touch-repulsed.
You should not be shipping Murderbot with anyone, nor should you be acting like touch repulsed people should still be expected to "hold hands" with their partners when they clearly do not welcome the touch.
You can show affection without touching, I promise you.
Please do not ship Murderbot with anyone, in any way. Do not erase the fact that Murderbot's touch averse, or like with this art, say that touch averse people still need to make concessions and do "normal things that everyone enjoys" like holding hands.
holding pinkies is not going to be any better in regards to sensory issues than holding hands the normal way. Touch averse people do not need to hold hands to show affection to people.
If Murderbot weren't aroace and thus it weren't bigoted to be shipping it with people at all, if you wanted to show it being affectionate with someone while actually respecting touch averse people, you can just draw it sitting next to whoever it's having fun with. Watching TV together, reading a book together, literally anything that does not include touching.
Handholding when ur partner is touch aversive
#undescribed images#sigh.#athiktomisia#please. stop.#no touch averse people should not be pressured to hold hands.#which is what this art and this concept are doing.#even ignoring the aroacemisia.#you do not need to hold hands with your partner#you do not need to show physical affection to anyone#please. people. please. stop.

*slaps the roof of The Murderbot Diaries fandom*
[ID: The meme drawing of two people standing in front of a car, with a car salesman in a suit gesturing to the car, now edited to be saying, "This fandom can fit so many aroace-hating aroace people in it!". End ID.]
"partnering aroace people exist!"
yeah, and why do you think that gives you the right to erase nonpartnering aroace people? It's because amatnormativity still has a stranglehold on you and you're perfectly fine with that as long as you get to throw nonpartnering people under the bus to get the allos to accept you.
Being a partnering aroace does not give you the right to shit on and erase nonpartnering aroace people, which is what you are doing when you defend allos erasing Murderbot's explicitly unattracted Queerness.
Stop licking amatanormativity's boot and show some fucking solidarity with nonpartnering aroace people, or shut the absolute fuck up.

From now on when I talk about the rampant solitaremisia in The Murderbot Diaries fandom I'm not calling it touch aversion anymore. I'm not calling Murderbot touch averse. Because that makes gregariable touch averse people think that they now have a free card to defend the disgusting levels of athiktomisia and specifically solitaremisia that runs wild in this fandom everywhere you look.
Murderbot is solitaremit. It does not want to be touched. It does not crave touch on any level. It does not seek out touch. It is not gregariable. It does not get touch starved.
You people just fucking hate solitaremits and think we're broken and need fixing through the power of love, or friendship, or sex.
You can either follow the links and learn what the words mean or shut up. I am done with gregariable people defending the inherent solitaremisia in erasing a cannonically solitaremit character who's actually treated seriously and with respect 100% of the time instead of being reduced to a joke about how it's sooooo funny to assault touch averse people because we don't really know what we want.
