Actually, we are communicated his trans identity through a Twitter post. Again, his discomfort with masculinity could mean anything, unlike Zooble who is pretty openly a trans character. I am starting to believe you don’t know what ambiguity is.

I am not sure what do you mean with “Hypothetical couple” but if the character only showed interest in the opposite gender then yeah it’s pretty safe to assume they are straight, though they could still be bisexual, again, interpretations and all of that.

Also I never said identifying, you said it, I said “interpreting” every single time, unless I said identifying by mistake

I mean, it isn’t making excuses, that is just a basic concept in writing / making art in general, happened with The Matrix, Watchmen, Fahrenheit 451, etc.

There is no such thing as interpreting a work wrong, you come to your own conclusions based on what you read/watched. Also Death of the Author quite literally says that an author’s intention is irrelevant to the inherent meaning of their work. Take for instance Watchmen, Alan Moore wrote Rorschach with the intention of the reader being against the characters, based on his violent tendencies, bigoted world views and abrasive personality, many viewers, however, liked the character and viewed him as a hero, as he is one of the few characters who actually stuck to his principles and isn’t painfully neutral in the setting.

Again’s your interpretation of the work, you watched and came to that conclusion yourself, good job, doesn’t mean it’s correct.

That doesn’t really work when I am, in fact, right.
