7/ Well, I'm all for shipping whatever you like, but all these "everyone's bisexual until proven otherwise" pushes all the wrong buttons in me; I think it's just as bad as saying "everyone's straight/gay until proven blah blah blah...". As for myself, I was never one to delegate sexuality to each and every character I come across with; I mean, seriously, what for?

29/ I tremble at the moment when hundreds of OOC-Zack fics would be infesting the net.

37/ It's amazing how every main female character I've played in games was, in one way or another, called a Sue just because she's seemingly nice and sweet. Ironic thing is, Aeris never came off as overly nice to me; she appeared very selfish that time when Tseng was about to die at the temple for example. I do admit that she was underdeveloped (as well as for the rest of the cast, even Cloud); it would do good though for people to stop always equating an underdeveloped character to a Mary Sue because if that were always the case, then everyone would be a Sue.

Maybe I worded it wrong and I'm not going to even go into the Kinsey Scale, but what I'm saying is WHY is is such a crime to think a character could be bi? All I'm saying is real sexuality is far too fluid to pigeonhole, and people bitching about "they have to be straight or gay, no exceptions" only makes me feel more marginalized than I already do.

OP of 7 here.

Maybe people should be allowed to choose their own identities. I do get frustrated with the "everyone is bisexual, lawl Kinsey scale!" argument because it's overlooking how condescending that is. It's as condescending as pushing straight or gay, frankly.

It's not a crime to think a character could be bisexual, but it's also not a crime to think of (and characterize) characters as straight or as gay.

And you really aren't all that marginalized, sorry to break it to you.

Not marginalized? Gee, being told for the last 10 years by so-called open-minded liberal queers that either a) I'm going through a phase or b) it's people like me that are ruining the gay community really doesn't count for anything, huh? Thanks for clearing that up!
