Does the canon go out of its way and explicitly say that they're cis male characters? I feel like most canons don't.

I'm going to hold your hand while I say this, but unless otherwise stated, a character played by a cis actor is going to be a cis character.

You don't need to state that a character is cis for the same reason that you don't have to state that a character eats food and shits. You may not like it but being cis (and het) is the standard human experience for most people.

Balderdash.

You may not like it but being cis (and het) is the standard human experience for most people.

So this would imply that you have to tag for a character being gay when that's not explicitly stated in the source text. Is that something you think?

Yes. And there are a couple ways to do that. If the fic has a Male/Male pairing, that character is going to be portrayed a gay (or bi). Or, if for some reason the character is gay but not in a relationship, it is likely tagged or in the summary.

Well, at least you're internally consistent, even if I think it's ludicrous to say that you have to tag for a character being gay.

Why wouldn't you??? It helps people who want to read fics with that character being gay find you. And for people that want to avoid reading that kind of fic (for whatever reason they may have), they can.

Yes, you should tag for gay. And people do.
Also people tag for het if it's the main point

DA

The pairing is the tag, you used coffee filter.

used coffee filter

Lol! Thank you for this.

I sincerely can't tell if AYRT is trolling or really is just this determinedly obtuse.

Does canon go out of it's way to explicitly say they're human? I feel like most canons don't.

Does canon go out of it's way to explicitly say that they're on Earth? I feel like most canons don't.

Does canon go out of it's way to explicitly say that they're alive? I feel like most canons don't.

TLDR: You're an idiot.

The AYRT probably thinks everyone is very stinky because the vast majority of media does not show the characters bathing or brushing their teeth.

I saw absolutely zero bathrooms on Atlantis, therefore no one on SGA ever pooped or peed./s

yep, being cis is just like shaving and brushing your teeth

Exactly. Most people do it. Some people don't. Some like to not shave. Some do a different type of teeth hygiene because they can't stand the feel of brushes. But because most people do it, it's a better use of resources to assume everyone around you does until noticed or stated otherwise, just from mathematical probability.

Pretty sure more people worldwide don't regularly brush their teeth or regularly shave than are not cis so really, it would be even more unlikely. And the secret actually explicitly stated this wasn't about trans characters but biologically male characters who happen to have a vagina so yes, that would be even more unlikely unless clearly stated in canon.
