What's it to you if other people headcanon a character as gay? It doesn't change the canon itself, so no one is taking anything away from you. The closet is a thing, and gay people irl often have or have had relationships with people if the opposite sex. A person doesn't have to be gold star to still be gay.

Honestly, you are coming across as being rather controlling, and that's always obnoxious.

So why is it okay to headcanon a character who shows interest in both sexes in canon as being gay, but headcanoning a character who only shows interest in the same sex in canon as being bisexual is bad? After all, that doesn't change the canon either.

Ayrt

I never said it was.

My beef is when fans who headcanon a character as bi insist that everyone else must do so too, or else they're being biphobic. Which seems to be the real gist of the secret.

... how else is one supposed to interpret a character who displays attraction to both genders?

[(Anonymous)]

A.) The closet is in fact a real thing.

B.) Not everyone has their sexuality figured out by the time they are twelve.

C.) Many, many gay people have in fact displayed attraction, at least publicly, to the opposite sex and even married people of the opposite sex. That does not make them not gay.

D.) We are talking about fictional characters who are even more open to interpretation, especially in visual canons where we don't get the characters interior thoughts.

[(Anonymous)]

Fictional characters aren't real people, though. They don't have "interior thoughts" unless the writers show them to us or tell us what they are. All that readers/viewers have to go on for characters is what is shown to us or told to us in canon, so logic dictates that if a character is depicted a particular way, authorial intent is for them to be read that way unless there is contradicting information given otherwise.
