[femme_androgyne]

It bothers me mostly because it's treated as the default by a lot of (femme)slashers. There are some characters I can see writing that way, depending on their canon relationships, like you said, but it does bug me when I'm looking for fic about a character with a long string of relationships with people of the opposite sex (Dean Winchester, for example), and every other fic labels them gay/lesbian instead of taking any of the other perfectly valid options I already outlined.

ETA: All I'm really trying to say is that lack of attention to canon characterization (whether it's the pronouns a character uses or the sexuality they exhibit) bugs me. In some cases, obviously, you could come up with an interpretation that takes canon into account but doesn't fit the labels most people would end up using for a character (Heck, I'm sure there are characters who are agendered or non-binary gendered who you could have "discover" pronouns that fit them better while still remaining in character). Usually, though, it just seems to me like something authors do when they're either careless/unwilling to address the canon that doesn't fit their view or when they don't care about canon, which is up to them. They don't owe me--or anyone else--anything, obviously. But I do care about canon, and I don't owe their work special attention or readership, either.
