I've always been against the whole forced love interest trope. That the main character HAS to fall in love by the end. Love is something much more sacred to me. It's a special bond between two people and if it's gonna be in the story, it's gonna be a big part of it. Dumbledore's sexual orientation actually is a big part of the story in Fantastic Beasts 2, and an important part of it.

TLDR, I'm not gonna force a love interest into the story just to confirm or de-confirm a character's orientation.

O-OH. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is a completely separate argument, see, I didn't realize you meant the forced romance thing in almost every work of fiction. I've always believed it's ****ed up that you can have 2 characters have no real bond, a lack of chemistry and how they don't even seem to like eachother at all just suddenly start snogging at the end of a movie. You don't NEED to force a love interest to establish sexual orientation, you can have the writing do that. For example,
Male Character A: "Hey baby, wanna go out with me? I'm the toughest guy in town"
Female Character 2: "Sorry, not interested"
Male Character A: "Why not? ALL the girls at college love me"
Female Character 2: "I don't swing that way"

By doing this, I have established Female Character 2's lack of interest in men and I haven't even thought of a name for the character, let alone a love interest.

Or you can force a conversation in which someone walks in on your character watching porn or reading a porn magazine, that's a cheap way to do that without forcing romance

Metal Gear Rising has taken over the thread.

We need the help of the Patriots to stop this madness.

Yeah but I don't want to play it. I've never had any interest in the MvC series. I'm sorry if that disappoints you, but I don't play fighting games aside from Smash

I was being hyperbolic my absolute bloke. Understandable though, fighting games just don’t click for some people.

The problem with something like this is that (Unfortunatley) while the characters orientation is "lore" which should only be decided on by the author, its also something that has to be hinted at by symbolism because of hetero-normative culture, allowing it to be something that can be seen when it's not actually there. I'm all for people interpreting the meaning behind my works however they want. But I'm not gonna sit there and tell them their fanfic is real. Because that's not in the lore i created. So as lore, the author's word on a character's orientation should be the end all be all. The work's subjective meaning, that's up for grabs.

i can sorta see what you mean, but i feel like all headcanons/interpretations should be taken straight from the source material and make sense

for example, we've long thought termina from majora's mask to be a parallel dimension to hyrule that link falls into in the beginning. however, the new lore bible hyrule encyclopedia recently said that it was all a dream or some dumb bs like that. while that is a book supervised by auonuma, and therefore could be surmised as his intent was that it was all a dream, the zelda fanbase mostly dismisses this due to the other interpretation being more popular and not ****, and the evidence lining up on what was said/shown in the games, meaning it's perfectly valid.

another example is that i headcanon post-awakening botw link to be bi and nb

now sure, the zelda team can say on twitter whatever they want about then intending him to be straight, but since there's nothing in the source material about that, then im free to my own interpretations, regardless of the intent. now if they release a new revised version of the game where link does the sex word with a girl and shouts to the heavens about how straight he is and how male he is then while analyzing that i would have to take that into consideration and judge on that that he must be straight and binary. but imo after the source material is released then whatever the creator says after that is just another interpretation, maybe with a bit more weight behind it then the average interpretation, but still just another one. as long as it doesn't contradict the source material, then i think anything is fair game at that point

It would have been really funny if they spent all that money on Kiefer Sutherland and Big Boss in that game was a Heroic Mime.

Konami Executive: "You spent millions of yen hiring Kiefer Sutherland to voice Big Boss, and all you did was have the character grunt!?"
Kojima: "Yes."
Konami Exec: "You're super fired."

iirc this was the actual reason venom says jack-**** in V - Sutherland charged line by line and was extremely expensive.

Yea, just color him purple and slap the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand and boom! You have Thanos's long-lost brother.

**** now I'm just imagining CDi Link being an absolute bellend. "Gee, it sure is misandrist in here forcing me to wear a skirt"
"My boy, this gender neutrality in our clothing is what all warriors strive for"

The room is a Metal Gear Rising stage, the fire is replaced by the bosses of the game and Raiden quoting memed dialogues from the game and the dog is me.

The thread in a nutshell for me, contreras.

Young Link and Navi doing that also should have happened.

Navi? You need Tatl. The snark makes it sooooooooo worth it.

...Though being Young Link is pretty much OOT, that wouldn't make much sense. I do wish he'd gain MM traits. But with Link being BOTW, this works too. Though Ganondorf is already OOT, and Sheik practically is(I wish she kept the TP design to help visually show off every game).

Man, I am loving this opportunity to post stock images.


Oh, uh, smash bros. I will chop off my left hand if the next character revealed isn’t Erdrick.

It's still weird to me Piranha Plant is now going to forever be the most popular Mario enemy and become something actually marketable. I can't imagine them announcing its return in the next Smash and not in a "lol they're gonna cut this slot waster" but in a "i can't see this character being treated as anything other than an elaborate joke"

This is probably the best example of how Death of the Author works and how it should be used.
