I think some of the people you're arguing against have different standards. If a character flat-out says they're straight, I consider them being straight canon (though personally I'll still entertain speculation from people who want to read them as bi or gay; the gay storyline of my own life came out of nowhere, after all).

I didn't see anyone saying that a definitive statement from the character about their sexuality isn't evidence, but maybe I missed something.

"In real life, we know there's a sizable portion of people who are more fluid than even they anticipated. I mean, hell, I knew a guy who used to say he was straight and "he could appreciate other guys being attractive but had zero sexual interest in them".. and turns out, he gets drunk and fucks guys."

"As for the anecdote - which is really not only an anecdote, as a statistically significant portion of humans have had same-sex experiences despite generally or previously considering themselves straight - the point is that even someone saying they are straight doesn't not absolutely prove they are straight."

Not familiar with this show but ... anons have a point.

Up until recently, it was risky to be out and a lot people were in the closet; add internal phobias, sexism and so on.

I know few strictly gay dudes who kept on the macho act so long - someone speaking about boobs and curves every 5 minutes is now very gay to me.

Serious response - I consider all characters bi and up to any fandom author to define unless they state they are straight or gay (without sounding compromised but that is me as I grown up in a shitty place).
