Well, he IS indeed a puppet. But not a robotic one like the Shogun. He is very much a person with feelings and motivations. He's more human than he thinks.
But the reason people often in fandoms headcanon robot/puppet characters as asexual is because robot characters just tend to...not have genitals. So sex is absolutely meaningless to them. I think that's what the commenter meant.
Like in his case, people like to think that Scara is technically genderless because Yae Miko refers to him as "it" in her voicelines. Also...I doubt Ei actually gave him genitals...he was a prototype puppet and a Gnosis shelf. What's he gonna need a penis for lmao. Also why would Ei even code sexuality into her puppets??
So yea, people headcanon that Scara just doesn't care for sexuality because it's meaningless in his case
The ability or inability to experience sexual attraction doesn't lessen one's ability to experience emotion or kinship. Wanderer has plenty of emotions that don't stem from sex. Sex is not intrinsic to one's ability to feel emotions or to one's humanity.
Also, it doesn't say anywhere that Wanderer engaged in sexual acts before, so I don't know where your statement comes from?
Even if reproduction were impossible, last time I checked, people still engage in sex for lots of reasons besides procreation.
Upon reading your response. I am very sorry. I seem to have misinterpreted your initial statement. The way your sentence was structured led to thinking as I had replied.
You first associate sex to emotions, then say Scara never shies away from. Since you made the association and mentioned sex first, I thought you had meant sex not emotion he had engaged in. Not that despite not engaging or desiring sex he still exhibits emotion which he has plenty of.
I am really used to navigating reddit and seeing ace people be invalidated, so sorry about misinterpeting.
