Fandom Problem #14,884:
Debates around changing a character's orientation.
If you're going to change a canon aroace character to make them gay, are you equally okay with someone shipping a canon gay character in a straight ship?
Either a character's orientation is something sacred and immutable, or it's not, you can't really have it both ways.
But people are rarely consistent about it. You can't argue that "making a gay character straight takes away from representation, there aren't very many canon gay characters" because hey, there's even fewer canon aroace characters.
