Shoutout to that person who was quoted on Fandom Wank as saying it’s silly to expect slash to be in
character, because it’s already out of character to write straight guys as attracted to men.

[(Anonymous)]

But the fact that they fuck women and express attraction to them on-screen isn't proof that they aren't gay. They could just be closeted.

I reference these people because they’re funny, not because they’re smart.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and the corollary is that just because a man fucks other men and expresses attraction to other men doesn't mean that he's gay. He could be straight, but has extreme hang-ups around women, or exists in a context in which it is considered more manly to have sex with men.

And even if a man says he's straight, or that he's gay, he could be lying for any number of reasons. Many people aren't honest about their sexuality. There are complex reasons for this.

Even someone who appears to be ace on screen may not be. And someone who is sexual on screen may in fact be ace, but feels pressure to act as if they are sexual.

The fact is that there is no textual or contextual basis for any character's sexuality. It's something that is purely and completely open to interpretation, at every stage of the game.
