Sometimes i feel like a lot of people headcanon sasuke as gay as opposed to bi because they kinda ignore what love looks like for him. Not to say he can’t be gay, i mean I couldn’t look you in the eye and say truthfully that it’s impossible. But I think that people will say he’s gay because they think he treats women coldly compared to men when that’s not entirely true.
Sasuke, from what I’ve seen, doesn’t show a lot of affection to anyone unless it’s someone he deems close to him. He doesn’t show a lot of affection to anyone— man or woman because they’re not Naruto or Sakura. He’s not showing a gender bias he’s just biased 😭
Uchiha are known to love deeply. And I feel like with that comes a selectiveness. On top of that sasuke’s got a selective personality. He doesn’t just give his love out to others. He’s not like Naruto who willingly puts his heart on the line for others in an attempt to show they’re worth understanding.
We know by watching the show that Sakura and Naruto are of equal importance to him because of how badly he tries to get rid of them. Now someone could make the argument that his attempt to get rid of Naruto was fiercer than his attempt to get rid of Sakura. And I’d half agree. On one hand, the show does make a point to say sasuke and Naruto’s relationship is special.
The author does that for the plot and to use the extremes of their relationship to expand on the themes of friendship, empathy, understanding, the forms and effects love can have on others, and what it even means to have a friend to begin with.
But on the other hand, what else is he supposed to do?? He can go easier on Sakura because Sakura isn’t chasing after him with foam coming out her mouth talking about “we’ll just die and understand eachother in the afterlife” I’d fight hard too, Naruto’s ass is crazy asf 😭⁉️
Sasuke does not love Sakura less than Naruto. Their love has the same weight to him and he had the same feelings of fear and inadequacy towards both of their love. He just shows it a little differently.
At the end of the day though it’s a free country you can headcanon him as whatever you want.
