Re: "Unwritten rule" about characters' sexualities, kind of related to above thread

(Anonymous) 2015-12-15 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I had a friend who said the exact same thing. If a character wasn't straight, it had to be stated in canon somewhere, she said, and that was why you couldn't say they might be. That's a shitty way to think, even if you accept that the writer probably would assume all their characters straight by default, unless the writer is gay or bi. A writer is one person whose intentions are confined by their own biases. If we go with what they intend, there's going to be unrealistically little room to make any characters anything other than straight. It means in most fictional universes, non-straight people just don't exist. It's not worth respecting author intent if it means you have to go with that.
