I've watched a couple eps of Sirens and all I can say is that they don't take anything seriously. I'm sure they've had stereotypes for the main guy that's gay, but because of the kind of show it is, I probably wouldn't care. Sorry that it bothered you :(

If there were a bunch of other asexual characters on TV I don't think it'd bother me, but since this is the only one at this point where it's actually been stated by the character and not decided by the fans, it seems like a bigger deal somehow.

I know a lot of people hold comedy to a different standard and say it's allowed to be offensive because anything goes, but it seemed to kind of unfairly single out the asexual character. The stereotypes aren't really that big of a deal, more the fact that they said it's just a phase and a "pathology". They haven't said anything like that about the gay guy (which they shouldn't, because it's horrible) but if they did I feel like people would be outraged. It doesn't seem balanced.
