I'm pretty disturbed by the trend I've noticed where the characters who get the most ace headcanons are usually the ones with the most traumatic pasts and the most fucked-up relationship to their bodies and interpersonal relationships/intimacy.

Natasha Romanoff is a good example. Raised from childhood to use and view her body, her looks, and her sexuality as a tool, to be loyal only to her masters and become close to others only to further a goal. Go ahead and headcanon her as asexual ON TOP OF THAT all you like, but for god's sake stop acting like ANYTHING canon shows us is EVIDENCE of asexuality. Natasha may very well be disinterested in or repulsed by sex and relationships for personal "use" as a result of her upbringing, but call that what it is; trauma and dysfunction. Because claiming ASEXUALITY is a result of bad experiences or literally anything other than an inborn predisposition is the opposit of progressive, inclusive, or helpfull. There are MANY reasons a person might not feel/be capable of (much or at all) sexual attraction, sex drive, intimacy, and et cetera at any given time in their lives, and mixing them up or pretending there's only one "real" or "valid" reason does no good to anyone.
