I'd assume the OP just doesn't like having to make room for marginalized people who are trying to do representation things with fanfic. I'd put them right next to the people who are like "ugh, why do you have to make [widely beloved character] brown in your fanarts? I hate that!" The idea that that kmeme prompt is badly representing asexual people doesn't really hold water. And it looks like a defensive afterthought. Like "you're making /your people/ look bad by putting this prompt in the broader fandom's face." Which ... no.

Asexual people aren't marginalized for being asexual.

Okay.

Uh, yes we are.

Tell me the last time an asexual's faced job discrimination, wage gab, or violence based on the fact they're asexual, and then we'll talk.

Does rape as a cure for asexuality and psychiatrists telling asexuals they must have a deeply hidden mental illness and should force themselves to date and fuck for their own good count?

It's not addressed specifically as asexuality, but you might want to check out the book "Singled Out" if you want the full list of ways in which single people are discriminated against in the US. That includes a wage gap between married and single men.

Don't spend too much time on tumblr, anon. There's a lot about tumblr that's great, but there's also a significant portion of it devoted to looking for offense where there is none. Right now, you sound like an outraged Sherlock fan who think ACD purists are homophobic for pointing out how unlikely it was that Doyle was writing Holmes/Watson as a gay couple.

Acknowledging that someone's fanon interpretation has no support in fanon is a factual issue, not a social justice issue.
