I'm going to have to say that I think asexuality in the media has done more harm than good. Just look at any secret related to asexuality, and there'll be at least one "Oh, how cute, you think you're asexual!" comment. I'm not sure if it's because there is a higher concentration of asexual people in fandom or what, but since it comes up so often, there is a lot of reflexive eye-rolling and "ace-wank". There is increased awareness now, but not all of it is positive. I was happier when most people were unfamiliar with the concept and could have it explained to them on a case-by-case basis. Now you have a group dead-set on believing that asexuals are attention whores or just can't get a man/woman.

It's probably been said before, but telling an asexual that their orientation does not exist or that they "can't get laid" is equivalent to telling, say, a gay man that there is no such thing as homosexuality and that he just can't get a woman. It's cruel and it's not funny.

That being said, OP: I'm glad you found a fandom that helped you come to terms with your orientation. I spent years thinking, "Oh well, I guess I'm just a maladjusted freak!" before a psychiatrist introduced the term "asexual" to me and I was able to do research and realize that there are people like me and it's not just a personal defect.
