@HairoAndy, I agree with you that it ruins the mood set by the story when we see shipping comments. Of course, there's a little romance even in this manga but the main focus is on something way bigger! Yes, you're right about that. (And also as @harostar said, arguing about ships is stupind. And so are ship wars.)

But what do you mean by "when a character is established to be a certain way sexually" and "when we see yaoi and yuri without expecting it".

Okay, first, I want to tell you that the characters with confirmed sexuallities are very little and it really annoys me when people just assume that heterosexuallity is "the default sexuallity" and that all characters are straight until proven otherwise. Like, a lot of people tend to look at a character that hasn't been even in a single relationship and just assume they're straight. Yes, it's possible that they're straight. But what if they're asexual? Or pan? Or whatever? We'll never know until it's stated in canon so I don't see anything wrong with people "fantasising" (as you put it) about the sexuallity of a character.

Also, the only characters that have a confirmed sexuallity are married characters/characters in CANON relationships and so on.

Also, let's talk a little about Kaneki. He's the main character and also one of the most shipped characters in the series. (We have Touken, HideKane, Shuuneki, Amoneki, AriSasa, etc.) And in his case, it's understandable why people think he's straight because Kaneki has showed interest in women. But he's shown interest in men, too (the comment about Tsukiyama, the comments about Arima and Yomo) so it's ALSO understandable that other people see him as bisexual. So is Kaneki straight or bisexual?? We'll never know (well, at least, until Ishida states it).

But yeah... sorry about my rant and sorry if I sound rude but it wasn't my intention. I just wanted to state my opinion and please correct me if I'm wrong!!! :)
