Totally agree with you here. Orientation is not a warning, it's a genre/style as in: something to put in the summary like you would insert 'gen' or 'hurt/comfort'
I gave up on fanfic rants after I found that one about me and then this one. I'm not homophobic in the slightest and if anything I say ever comes across like that, I apologise. It's just I only like canon and only see what canon shows and tells us outright. I can't ever see any hidden subtext in stuff I watch or read. Much in the same way that I don't read uber AU fic.
I hope you don't mind I had to go look up asexual. But then I found this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involuntary_celibacy) and it made me cry. They make it sound like an illness! I... I... oh
