Seriously he is a person who has had more intense relationships with men (Gary, Paul, Goh), he cried when saying goodbye to Sammy in the Celebi movie, he bathes naked in front of Pikachu, even the companion he had the most physical contact with was Goh by an abysmal margin. The anime has given a lot of evidence that Ash is not heterosexual and never will be (the scene with Giselle was just humor) but people still idealize him as a pussy destroyer. Why this stark contrast?
