"Please tell me I'm genuinely asking
If there's any character in any fandom that you hc as, for example, asexual
Would you keep them asexual in all your aus/art/fics/conversations?"

...yes? you keep trying to equate wanting someone you consider a lesbian to fuck men with other identities and the examples are always horrible. Let me ask you - how would you go out of your way to erase canon asexuality in a fanfiction? Would you have them have sex? Asexual people can and often do have sex with their partners. I would consider it extremely weird if you went out of your way to make an au where a character you consider canonically asexual goes out of their way to declare that they are NOT asexual. It would make you look very weird.

Something you and all the people running blindly to defend you seem to be missing is that nobody is trying to criticize you for having a headcanon, in fact people have been trying to tell you that calling Beidou wlw in your hc would be FINE it's the fact that you're insisting you see this character as a lesbian in canon and in your mind yet you like to imagine her fucking men. That is WEIRD. Nobody cares that you ship her with Kazuha sometimes, it's the way that you keep saying you consider her a lesbian but every so often you want to ~fix that when you want to see her with a man.

I don't want to 'fix' anything, I haven't even ever mentioned them fucking or any nsfw, I refered to them always as platonic
And yes, I am asexual too, sometimes I make an au where Alhaitham is asexual, sometimes I make an au where he isn't, sometimes, I wouldn't mind anyone taking asexual character for their own au and making it asexual
If they imply being asexual is wrong and that's why they do that, I wouldn't support it, otherwise people can hc whatever they won't
I don't know how else to explain that people can create different relationships between characters in different aus and not stick to one thing
I can make up an au with platonic haikaveh, in the next one make them poly, in another they are asexuals both, I next I switch it up and they are two bisexual women
It's alternative universes, nobody is fixing anything or trying to change canon or likes lesbians fucking men
If there's an au where woman is with a man, she's not a lesbian
"Nobody cares you ship her with Kazuha sometimes" well that's what happened, I said I do that from time to time and worded it wrong now for some reason everyone thinks I don't want her to be lesbian and want to change that, no I don't
How else you imagine me or anyone shipping this ship, that no one would care about, without making her not lesbian? /Gen
I see it like, you're fine to ship them but she must always stay lesbian? It is literally impossible 🥲
