But it's also the case that many bisexual people feel pressured to "pick a side," or have enough adverse experiences from being out as bi that they go back into the closet. They haven't ceased to be bi; they've just decided that it's easier socially to identify as either gay or straight.

Yep, especially if they're in a committed relationship. The pressure to pick a side and the implications that you're going to cheat because you couldn't possibly be happy dating just one person of one gender are exhausting, so a lot of the time if you're in a committed relationship it's way less stressful to just ID as straight or gay.

Sure, I agree that happens sometimes. I am definitely not objecting to reading characters as bi or headcanoning them as bi. What I disagree with is that any character who ever displays attraction to men and women MUST be bi.

But characters aren't people, they are written the way they are for reasons that we are meant to pick up on. If a character displays explicit attraction to more than one gender, the writing's intent is that we are meant to pick up on the fact that they are bi, unless later they have a canon realization that they're actually something else.

Sometimes, sometimes not.

It just isn't the case that writers always display that amount of intentionality in how they write characters! Sometimes characters evolve over time in ways that weren't intended from the start.
