If you don’t want people to assume your characters are gay maybe don’t call them gay? I don’t want to sound mean but I see this a lot as well. LOTS of bi/pan/ace/etc people or people with those specific types of characters get upset about people labeling them/their characters as gay but do it themselves. You can’t have it both ways.

Ok 1. I don’t do it all the time, in fact I rarely call them gay publically, only when I’m livestreaming which is once in a blue moon. Literally I only joke about it in private convos, usually with people who KNOW their identities.

2. I know you didn’t mean to sound rude, but this was actually really rude. I’m ace and panromantic, I’m also a trans male identifying person – I joke about being gay all the time. Does that mean I’m not ace? No, because it’s a joke.

Most people who are assuming our OCs identities aren’t doing it because I’m saying “look at my gay babies, I love these nerds” they’re doing it solely based on what they see – the gender of their partner.

Case in point: I draw Ro fucking dudes a lot, I do this because I like drawing dudes. This does not make Ro any less bi if he fucks more dudes than ladies.

People assumed Tevruden was Bi because he’s dating both a woman and a man when in fact he is a sex-positive Asexual.

What really grinds my gears is that you’re insinuating that I am not allowed to joke about my character and – when he gets mistaken for something he is not – give up my right to speak out about it.

I know you probably meant well by this, but honestly this is what the community talks about when is comes to erasure.

Ngl anon, you sound kind of rude.
