I think part of it is ignoring what Ryan says about Eddie. How he is heterosexual, and how important it was for Ryan to portray the scene of Buck coming out to Eddie, a heterosexual character and Eddie being supportive. I forget the exact wording but that was the gist of it. Itâs fine if you want to see a character as something, but itâs knowing the difference of whatâs fanon and whatâs canon. at what point does it seem disrespectful towards the actor, who is playing the character as straight, and telling you the character is straight, to say, âwell actually, youâre wrongâ
This isnât me saying Ryan doesnât want buddie, no one knows what he does or doesnât want (outside of speculation). But I feel like maybe people donât listen to some things he says because they just donât want to hear it. So they ignore it, when he says itâs important for him to portray the heterosexual man accepting his friendâs bisexuality, because they donât like it. I think thatâs why some people may get annoyed with it. Ya know.
I hope this didnât come off as rude! It wasnât my intention, just trying to give my thoughts on your post.
i appreciate you being civil, iâve gotten plenty of replies that were not lol.
iâm fairly sure i know what interview youâre talking about and while yeah, that could be a reason towards choosing to view eddie as strictly heterosexual, i just donât think itâs really fair to say that because of that interview, itâs against ryan guzmanâs wishes to view him differently.
when you consider the multiple other interviews of ryan saying that heâs up for whatever the writers give them, i think itâs fair to say maybe he was just talking about how he was choosing to act that scene out, because ultimately he doesnât know what will happen between the characters.
also, i think a fair comparison to draw to is destiel, one of, if not the most famous slash ships ever. jensen ackles did not like it. at all. for awhile. over time, heâs gotten less annoyed by it, but my point still stands. is it fair to say dean winchester couldnât possibly be read as bisexual because jensen ackles intended him to be straight when portraying the character?
finally, itâs important to note that there have been interviews saying they intended to write buddie into season 4, but someone at fox told them no. along with that, lou ferrigno jr himself said that buck and tommyâs storyline was initially intended for eddie and tommy, but annelise ceparo (nataliaâs actress) did not want to return but edy ganem (marisolâs actress) did, so they gave the storyline to buck instead. neither of those times fell through because ryan guzman did not want to portray the story.
