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

Definitely disagree. A character could be anything. Even if a character is a man and only shows interest in women, I don't think that proves he couldn't be bisexual, at least to some extent, just because it's not shown on screen. A character is only "straight" if they say they are straight and demonstrate being straight... but then again, there are people who believe they are straight that are either in denial or later realize that they might actually be bi or gay. You could count Word of God as evidence for certainty of sexual orientation, but I don't, because I don't personally count Word of God for anything - to me, canon is only the narrative itself.

That being said, yeah, honestly, probably most characters are written as straight. Or without any thought of their possible same-sex attraction. So if that's what you think of as being canon, rather than the narrative existing independently, then I suppose "straight by default" is still pretty fair.
