OK, for context: This character only appears in person in a prequel novel for the game and is the love interest for the female main character. So there is quite a bit of fanfic by now featuring the character. And while referring to the character as "they" when talking meta, it's not exactly mandatory to use it in fic because the character can be any gender.

I guess it depends on whether the fic states explicitly that 'this character' in 'this fic' is being presented as male or female.

So that those reading it can choose to ignore the fic if they're not into female!character or male!character.

If it's left open to interpretation whether they could be male or female, then it's cool to headcanon that character as either (in my opinion) as long as people can avoid fic or fanart or whatever for their non-preferred headcanon.

I agree. In this case though, fans of the NB headcanon (who believe it is canon) have been intentionally seeking out fic/art of their non-preferred gender versions to cause wank and try to flame the creators of those pieces so...
