Deal with it
So now that Gwen Poole is out as aroace people are asking if it's still okay to ship Gwen and Quentin Quire since they already root for them because of west coast avengers.
For those of you who doesn't know, yes Gwenpool is now canonically aroace, We discovered it in Marvel Voices: Pride 2023 and in Love unlimited Gwenpool part 5 where she talks more about her identity.

And I just want to address one thing-
It's okay to ship Gwen with Quentin, as long you understand Gwen was never really interested in him.
From the beginning Gwen Said she picked him as her love interest because she thought she has a better chances of survival if she had a love interest.
If you ship them you need to understand - while Quentin may have actually loved her, it was more of an one sided love.
It's okay to ship them if you understand that Gwen didn't have real feelings for him and just used him.
It's not so crazy, I'm aroace myself and when I was young I faked crushes on boys because I thought that's what I'm supposed to do.
Especially for ADHD people there's a common phenomenon because we can get really excited meeting new people so it's hard for us to separate between romantic and platonic feeling.
Gwen talks about her feelings to Julia the feeling she thought were romantic at first but turned out she just really like her in another and she discovered she didn't really wanted a romantic relationship with her like she thought at first.
I loved Gwen and Quentin myself and I thought they were funny and dynamic, I just want to make things clear that while you can still ship them, she's only faking her feelings and using him as a tool,
If you still want to ship them under this terms it's fine, they can still have funny and interesting dynamic, but don't ship Gwen romantically because that's just an insult to the aroace community.
And happy soon pride month ππ³οΈβπ
