5. This Queer Artist Uses the Spicy Sauce Sambal to Illustrate Asexuality (Culture, Sex)

If you’ve never heard of sambal, it’s a popular sauce in Indonesia and Malaysia made of chilis, vinegar, fish sauce and sugar. It’s put on rice, mostly, but a queer artist named Charis is using it to illustrate asexuality for the masses. “There’s a whole spectrum of preferences for sambal,” he says — some want a little, some want a lot, and some don’t want sambal at all. “They might have it to make another person happy, or they might not. They might enjoy it, or they might not. They might have tried it before, or they might not have. But they don’t feel a need for sambal,” he says, and most importantly: “People who don’t have sambal are still people, after all.”
