People who jump to conclusions about someone's sexuality just from their taste in fiction or how they show affection toward others are often called things like ANTHROPOCENTRIC AMATONORMATIVITY, HUMANO-GENDERISM, or FICTOPHOBIA.
These ideas range from insisting that only real-life relationships count as "real" love to rejecting any emotional attachment to fictional characters. That leads to shallow labels like "If you like BL, you must be gay" or "If you like yuri, you must be a lesbian," which ignore the real diversity of people's feelings and preferences.
In reality, what kind of fiction someone enjoys has nothing to do with their actual orientation and should be respected as part of each person's freedom of expression and emotional variety.
People who make these snap judgments get called out for pushing a human-only love mindset or for having a fictophobic attitude, especially by groups like fictosexual and asexual folks who see them as repressors of self-expression.
