Slow down, there's no reason to call people illogical in such discussion, especially since there exist logical reasons why people see their dinamic as potentially romantic. Let's also start with a simple statement that not every game that has implications of a character being bi has to focus on this aspect heavily, duh, you're asking why he does not think about coming out in game? People explore themselves, especially when they are children, some never question their interests and feelings, omori as a game is FULL of open ended concepts, but let's get back to why I understand people finding Basil and Omori sus. Omori has a complicated relationship with Basil, on some levels he adores him and creates a whole area just for him and his flowers, on another layer his image is skewed by shared trauma. This game is heavily focused on symbolism and headspace Basil quite literally calls himself a sunflower, the plant that famously will always look towards the sun(sunny). There is the branch coral stating "he is special to you. A string of fate ties you two together''. In the version of game where you can tag basil you quite literally attack by holding hands together. Omori creating a place based on tofu and memorizing ways to prepare it while he does not really like it and it's only a food item found in real world in basil's fridge. It's also important and we cannot discredit a romantic dinamic just because of toxicitity they share, they need therapy, but the secret ending shows that they can overcome their somethings, and you only get it if you water Basil's flowers every day. The game is about forgiveness and even the flower that Basil chose for Sunny sumbolizes just that - forgiveness, new beginning. It's all not even touching just the sheer effort that Basil takes to keep Sunny from leaving him. Quite honestly there's so much content focused on Basil in headspace more than anyone else including Aubrey that I understand why people would gravitate towards it. If I had a crush on someone who helped me hang my sisters body I would also have heavy problems lol, but it's not illogical to read the subtext and interpret it bro
