I don't think there are really many cases where you can convincingly say that an interpretation of a character's canon sexuality is dead-on 100% objective fact.

More to the point, I'm just skeptical of someone making that argument while also advocating a different ship, and it really bugs me when people try to cloak arguments that are really about ship preferences in all kinds of arguments about facts or morals or whatever, and that's what it feels like OP is doing here. Obviously they're far from the only people ever to do that, and aren't going as far as other people have, and I'm not saying otherwise, and I agree that those other people are worse. but it just bugs me a bit that's all.

Agree with the second paragraph here. As soon as someone post-scripts an argument of this sort with "...and I ship [pairing that coincidentally aligns with argument]", you've lost me.

That said, RE interpretation of canon sexuality... surely anything that 100% aligns with canon IS 100% objective fact. Not saying that's the only valid interpretation, but if you're talking facts, canon is basically the dictionary definition.

I would agree that anything that is explicitly demonstrated in canon is inarguably canonical.

I think there are many things in almost any canon that are inconclusive or uncertain, and I think that is going to very often include sexual preferences of characters.
