Again, I’m not saying she can’t be aro or ace, I’m just saying I don’t really see her as both at the same time because she’s shown undeniable attraction to folks before. In her regular book she got tongue-tied at seeing Doctor Strange, in that Venomverse tie-in she crushed hard on Daredevil (and while it was an alternate universe it was written by the same dude doing her main book and she was pretty much identical to how he always wrote her), in West Coast Avengers she dated and regularly made out with Quentin Quire, then Gwenpool Strikes Back was pretty much her being really uncomfortably horny to just about everybody almost the entire time and making a ton of random sex jokes (including, like, a whole page or two about how it’s totally okay to sexualise her because she’s actually 18 you guys). And I doubt any future writer is going to want to reckon with stuff like her Civil War II tie-in having her clothes reduced to scraps and she’s all “ugh, isn’t it just the worst when artists indulge in gratuitous objectification?” and again in Gwenpool Strikes Back where she dedicates several pages to sexualising herself because “it’s what you the readers want”.

And maybe I’m not being fair, but it also strikes me as a bit unintentionally unsympathetic that it turns out she really did have some very close friends the whole time in her world but she deliberately cut herself off from them when they had the nerve to start dating and that’s pretty much the sole reason why she was so lonely and depressed before getting isekai’d.
