Oh, and on that trope, I just read this (http://swankivy.tumblr.com/post/88181182755/anagnori-yeah-okay-but-if-you-werent) on an asexual activist's Tumblr.
Yes, she's aro ace and was literally asked (and badgered about) what gender she would have sex with if she "had to" to save the world. /sigh/
It's a lose/lose because of you can't say "no one, I'd let the world get destroyed" or they'll badger you about that, and you can't say a gender/person/whatever or else they deny you're really ace. Like some "haha gotcha" moment they think they're having.
("Gee, that's a good question. Which of your immediate family members would you murder with an axe in order to save the world?")
