I guess I'm sick of people second guessing it because as far as I can see there was no indication that there was anything more to John's statement, there wasn't really any kind of ambiguity there, and whenever I hear other interpretations it always comes off as a shipper grasping at strings, mostly because they just make no sense. One I've heard a lot was that John's statement to Karkat was a clear overreaction, and he overreacted because he is gay and wants to hide it. Because "Um, I'm sorry but I am not a homosexual." is a clear overreaction?...Somehow?

It's extra annoying because John is a 13 year old who's admitted to not thinking about dating and romance before, so there's no reason to think he might not turn out to be gay later in life. I don't ship John with anyone and even I'd argue that he said he was straight because he'd never actually thought about it and just assumed he was.

I get where you're coming from, and I apologize for my defensive overreaction. That sort of stuff is annoying and ridiculous to me, too.

I guess on the flipside of things, I am just sick of the veritable essay-rants some people have been writing on why it is never possible evar and everyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.

It makes me feel like I got timewarped back to 10 years ago where every other fan had a personal geocities/angelfire/tripod website with PROOF and COUNTERARGUMENTS about their ships or something.
