please for the love of fuck it does not matter how many chances writers or creators gave us to interpret a character as queer, our interpretations as queer people do not matter when it comes to queer representation.
the interpretations of people who are not us are the ones that matter when the issue of queer representation is in question.
these people won’t listen to earnest creators who are supposedly on our side. they won’t watch hours of bonus material just to glean for everything short of “yes this character is queer” okay? they simply won’t.
these people need explicit on-screen confirmation of a character’s sexuality and/or gender for them to be queer, and even then, they can and do still find a scintillating myriad of ways to ignore canon evidence of queerness, often slinging accusations of abuse in tumblr fandom context to de-legitimize same sex attraction. (ftr tumblr fandom is not the full extent of fandom and your discourse arguments would benefit by realizing this.)
my point is, you have to think outside of yourself in arguments of queer representation if you are queer. you have to think like a straight person. you have to think like a cis person. and you have to think like someone who will go to any length to deny what is right in front of their eyes even if it is canon.
know your enemy and you will know your truth all the better.
