I have to admit I'm a bit divided on this.

In fanfic, I will readily write two canonically straight women as bisexual and polyamorous. I will read all the fanfic of this, and I wish there was more fanart of it. Because there's nothing saying they can't be interested in women (I suppose it's more like "canonically not-lesbian") and these two get along really great and have an awesome relationship and the polyamory is more fun than the love triangle suggested by canon.

Aaaaaaat the same time I would find it odd for people to claim the same women as bisexual and polyamorous in meta, because there's no support for that.

I guess the difference is that in fanfic / fanart you can get really specific about details and it can just feel like "I think this is a good and entertaining possibility", while getting that specific in meta feels more "I think they SHOULD be like this". And depending on the setting, using very specific labels breaks the immersion so a fanfic where someone calls themselves a "polysexual demiromantic" (though...I think terms got mixed there) might throw me off whereas a fic where someone simply behaved like a polysexual demiromantic, or described themselves in a way that referenced the concept but in a way natural for their setting (like an asexual person could easily say/think "I've just never been interested in sex and I doubt I'll ever be"), would have been like oh okay sure.

...after typing all that: the headcanon doesn't bother me, it's all in how it's presented and if it feels like the writer wants to persuade me the character IS that way.
