Situational Sexuality/Headscratchers
- The thing that bugs me about this trope is that it implies that all series must have their characters paired up with each other no matter what, no matter their gender or sexuality. Of course, there's always those shippers who believes this... but still, what about series with no canon pairings?
- Don't worry too much about it. This trope is either actual bi/homosexual people who aren't fully accepting of their behavior or its a complete excuse for fanfic (or similar) writers to put people into whatever pairing they like best (regardless of if there is any logic to it). It's more of a problem with people who have a gay fetish or shippers than any logical thought patterns.
- Actually,this trope is usually used as either All Men Are Perverts and/or All Women Are Lustful (depending the character) taken to the logical extreme, so obsessed with sex that the will willingly turn to the closest available person for it, even if they aren't attracted to that person or even that gender, and just close their eyes and try to pretend the other person is the gender they prefer. This, of course, has Unfortunate Implications all its own.
