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

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I think your friend's "unwritten rule" is a reflection on what a lot of society thinks. Are the majority of people straight? I believe so. Do writers for media write with the presumption of their characters being straight? I think so.

The thing is, we don't know for sure if the writers wrote with the idea of their character being straight, and if there is no onscreen declaration of straightness, I think it is not unreasonable to think "They might be gay/bi!".

Even if such a declaration of straightness happens in canon, or Word of God (if you accept such) has stated so, Fandom will merrily ignore it and keep on slashing, sometimes even saying the character is in denial or closeted, depending on how fiercely they hold onto their slashy headcanon.

So... I kinda agree with your friend, but I am well aware it is not a favoured opinion in Fandom. For my part, canon may be straight, but I don't care, because I will keep slashing.
