EditingWithAnAgenda is why I\\\'m adding it to the cutlist. The examples on the page are simply down to saying \\\"this character is ro/ace\\\".
There is no reason for an entire Main Page purely for the specific identity presented here that does nothing except state that the characters match that identity (erroneously and YMMV on half the entries anyway). If there were, we\\\'d do that for every character that was gay, bi, or trans too. We don\\\'t, because that\\\'s not a facet of how fictional works are constructed to create a story. It\\\'s just an identity.
I\\\'m looking over the entries again, if you couldn\\\'t tell, and I\\\'m seeing very clear cases of PeopleSitOnChairs. And beyond that, an alarming number of characters mentioned on this trope\\\'s works list aren\\\'t even explicitly asexual, they just show a certain measure of disinterest in sex. I would say you could re-name this page \\\"Ambiguously Ace\\\" (honestly a much better idea), but even that is generous because you can\\\'t make someone ace, even in YMMV, purely because they don\\\'t want to fuck all the time. That\\\'s beyond assumptive and getting into UnfortunateImplications.
This just looks to me like an effort to make specific tropers happy instead of actually expanding on how media works. And you do you, but do you off the Main pages.
