About

Asexual Celebrity Moodboard is an ironic meme in which a celebrity is represented in a black, grey, white and purple color scheme alongside asexual imagery and quotes. Such "asexual moodboards" humorously portray celebrities, typically musicians, as being "ace" by editing their lyrics or appearance. The trend can be traced back to an Asexual Nicki Minaj moodboard first posted on Tumblr in 2016.
