This was brought up to me over the last few weeks, I understand fanfics writers do have LGBT stories using Canon characters, but I truly must bring this issue to attention, as I too have been victim of this plight.

First and foremost, this is NOT meant to attack anyone who is LGBT. This is merely meant to help them understand and accept your partners that wish to stay as they are. When we choose to RP Canon characters, we choose to RP them as they are created, not altered or changed into something they were not written as. Friends who portray Canonly, have been receiving the hot end of the iron rod when they refuse to uphold RP with LGBT partners they meet.

I too have come under this many times myself, it is downright disrespectful to threaten your partner, for rejecting said RP with LGBT. Now, Canonly; Noctis is indeed straight, it is how he is written and how I choose to portray him. Because I choose to portray him as straight, it upsets LGBT partners that wish to romance him. However, I myself have been threatened for such refusal, by many who wanted Yaoi with my Noctis. This is in more than just Amino, it has happened to me on other social media as well.

If you partner wishes to stay Canon, please respect their decision. The Canon will not change their character’s sexuality just for you to RP with them. Expecting your partners to automatically change to LGBT only makes you look like a bad RolePlayer, especially if you are trying to force them to do it, then threaten them because they won’t do it. It is completely fine, if the Canon character is written LGBT by their creator, then it is natural in their Canon.

Please do not force your partners to change their Canon into LGBT, it is disrespectful and very unfair. Put yourself in their position and imagine if it was you on the receiving end of the threat or assumption. Again, this is not meant to attack anyone, but help the communities understand how wrong and hurtful it is to force your views onto a Canon.
