u ever think abt how straight people can easily understand that a character like ryan from hsm is gay even though he was paired off w a female character but blow their stacks if you say like Batman is gay because their ability to witness and understand someones gayness isnt based on that persons actual comfort and fulfillment with partners depending on gender but rather based on whether they represent a stereotype.. ryan is flamboyant/fashionable/ditzy/sassy so of course hes gay even though they tell you hes not… batman is tough/cool/masculine so even though his relationships with women usually come off as uncomfortable and loveless vs his relationship with superman which is always very focused and passionate, Obviously Hes Heterosexual. its a silly thing but its just so obvious how straight ppl conceptualize gayness (& bisexuality too but thats another post)
