AYRT

Oh woops sorry, yeah, I fucked up my copy-paste. Yeah, I was referring to the second part.

And what I would say is that it doesn't have to be a question of subtext. One, I don't think it's necessarily that easy to conclude a character presents as straight, and I think it's too easy to fall into the habit of just assuming characters are presenting as straight because that has been the social default. Two, I think you're assigning way too much weight to the things that the creators intended - or that we assume them to have intended - as against what is actually presented on screen. I don't see any particular reason to equate "The creators did not make a conscious decision to portray this character as queer" with "This character should be read as striaght".

nyart but I agree with this, not just in the case of sexuality but generally speaking in terms of narrative. Conscious intention on the part of a creator does not necessitate how a narrative must be read.
