(Anonymous) 2011-10-13 05:05 am (UTC)(link)I suppose so. But, I've never thought it's important to like or identify with characters. It's enough if they are well written and interesting.

For you, maybe. But you are certainly not everyone, and some people, including me, would like representations of people they are a little bit like, whether that similarity be sexuality or nonsexuality, disability, transness or other gender-skewing, or racial representation that isn't relegated to Magical Negro/Queer sidekick.
Why, for that matter, are you so against the idea of an asexual Sherlock Holmes? Why must everything be what you'd identify with?

(Anonymous) 2011-10-13 06:30 am (UTC)(link)But then I finally became comfortable with the fact that I'm a lesbian. And now I wish there were more lesbian characters on tv, etc. I still like het romances, Tuxedo Mask is still awesome... but I want a bit more of Haruka and Michiru on my screen, if you know what I mean? It doesn't have to be about their experiences as lesbians. It doesn't have to focus on their coming out, or their struggle against discrimination, or I don't know what. It's just nice to see that there are female characters who, like me, happen to like girls.
And similarly, asexual people are probably happy too to see someone who experiences something the way they do. The story doesn't have to focus on him being asexual, but just knowing that he is can be comforting.
Personally, I think it's pretty much left ambiguous whether he's asexual or not, so fighting about it could go on forever, but I do understand that it can strike a nerve if someone insists that he isn't.
