*casts Raise Dead on the topic* What? I just thought the arguments were interesting...*sweatdrops*
Anyway, since I'm new, I must as well introduce myself. My name's Elwen.
Now that the red tape is out of the way...I noticed the sharp divide in this topic. Most of those who were against the idea of Solaufein being bi were (presumably) male, while most of those who were tolerant/didn't mind/for it were female.
Interesting little trend, hm?
Here's my theory on this trend, evolved from four or five years as a slash/yaoi writer (*specialized term-slash/yaoi is a subclass of fanfiction dealing with m/m relationships), I've noticed that 3/4 of all slash authors/readers are FEMALE, with the few exceptions, such as my boyfriend.
The popularity of yaoi (Japanese term) started in Japan, because girls wanted to see something of an equal relationship between partners, and a male-female relationship wasn't exactly equal: but two men could be.
Or, it's the reverse of the old men-find-lesbians-hot cliche. Simple terms. *shrug*
Personally, I actually liked the idea of a bi male NPC. Why? I always end up playing a male character, but I can't play a straight male character. Don't ask me why.
And I didn't find it all that OOC-as others have stated, all we know of Solaufein is this:
1) He had a female lover.
2) The boy's definitely NOT a virgin. (Tell me-how much of a chance is there of that? *snorts* .0000000000000000000000001%, and that's being generous.)
I personally prefer to believe he's bi. Once again, it's up to you. If you don't like him hitting on you, then turn him down. Simple as that.
