Freud's Saygex
The fandom culture phenomenon and unwritten rule that as long as a character is not specified to have a defined sexuality, no justification is required for portraying the character with a set sexuality even if there's no proof of such in the original media. The gender identity equivalent to the phenomenon is referred to as "Shrodinger's Gender".
Fan #1: I personally like to imagine that the main character is gay.
Fan #2: But nothing in the canon suggests that he's gay.
Fan #1: Well, but then nothing in the canon suggests that he's straight, thus creating the Freud's Saygex phenomenon.
