Fandom entitlement has been around for a long time; it just used to be that the only outrage you heard was when a character turned out to be anything-*but*-straight (if a character has ever turned out to be asexual, I missed it). Different groups complaining, complaint still basically the same: "OMG some fictional people are not the way I want them to be!"

Basically this. I don't know why the OP feels the need to single out these fans. This has been around even with het shippers, like with Harry Potter when Harry/Ginny came out as canon.

I happen to be gay, and I know not to delude myself that writers are going to make every character gay. But do I sometimes see something in a character based on how they interact with others? Yes. Am I allowed to get disappointed? I should think so. I can't control my feelings. And sometimes it does get tiresome to not see any people like myself in the media I consume. That doesn't mean I'm going to harass the writers or anything. It just means I wish there were more LGBT and asexual characters out there.
