* TransgenderFetishization: A gender-nonconforming character is portrayed as hypersexualized or is used for more candid fanservice than other characters. Reinforces the stigma that non-gender-conforming people are inherently a sexual topic or only matter in relation to how attracted/disgusted cis people are.

* CelibateEccentricGenius: Asexual and aromatic behavior are depicted as going hand in hand with lack of interest in ''platonic'' socializing, high intelligence and interest in intellectually stimulating activities. The personalities of real-life asexuals and aromatics are much more diverse than that. The fact that asexuality and aromanticism don't always overlap mean that even partner-seeking socializing can still be engaged in.

* '''Criminality/Evil/Decay:''' Associating queer people by definition with one or more of these undesirable traits. A similar association is sometimes made between black people and these same traits.

* SexlessMarriage: If a married couple isn't having sex in fiction, it frequently means one of the following: they don't love each other anymore, it's a MarriageOfConvenience in the first place, the couple is unable/unwilling to sleep in the same bed or at the same time for whatever reason or at least one half is in a situation that prevents them from having sex even if they wanted to. As a result, a marriage in which the pair is having sex is portrayed as inherently going better than one in which the couple isn't, leading to a real-life assumption that marriages in which at least one partner is asexual are unhappy.

* SexlessMarriage: If a married couple isn't having sex in fiction, it frequently means one of the following: they don't love each other anymore, it's a MarriageOfConvenience in the first place, the couple is unable/unwilling to sleep in the same bed or at the same time for whatever reason or at least one half is in a situation that prevents them from having sex even if they wanted to. As a result, the lack of sex is all too frequently potrayed as an inherently negative thing in a marriage, rather than something it can work perfectly fine without (outside of explicit cases of ChastityCouple).

* SexlessMarriage: If a married couple isn't having sex in fiction, it frequently means one of the following: they don't love each other anymore, it's a MarriageOfConvenience in the first place, the couple is unable/unwilling to sleep in the same bed or at the same time for whatever reason or at least one half is in a situation that prevents them from having sex even if they wanted to.

* PerverseSexualLust: Sexual attraction to a fictional character is worse than being sexually attracted to a real person, making out aegosexuals and the like to be inherently perverted for their attraction.

* PervverseSexualLust: Just calling aegosexuals "perverse" when allos do much grosser stuff than crush on a well-drawn character with a great personality is pretty mean-spirited.

* AManIsAlwaysEager: Masculinity is based on how much a man wants sex. The implication is that if a man isn't constantly seeking out sex (often to an extent that most allosexual men don't reach), that's because there's something wrong with him. In addition to being hateful to asexual men, it is derived from a sexist idea that sex is something men are compelled to try to ''take'' from women, with the manliest men being the ones who are most successful at it, and less successful men being worthy of hatred and mockery.

* AnythingThatMoves: When applied to bisexuals, this presumes that because they are interested in ''some'' members of both sexes, they're interested in ''all'' members of both sexes, although "bisexual" is not equivalent to "promiscuous".

* DepravedBisexual: If they're having gay sex, and gay sex is among the worst sins on the calendar, they'll stick at nothing. [[AnythingThatMoves The presumed promiscuity of bisexuals]] turns up the volume on this one.
