:: I just removed it. Someone can add it back into personality as a "speculated that she is bisexual", but I don't think it is appropriate. Seems more like fan projection than legitimate speculation. [[User:SAMWAF|SAMWAF]] ([[User talk:SAMWAF|talk]]) 13:42, 7 December 2016 (MST)
::: I added it in the first place because when presented with the idea, he specifically said, as I quoted in the reference, "This wasn't directly on my mind while writing, but looking back, I think it was in my subconscious." He wrote her like that subconsciously, not that he did not write it that way. Saying that he subconsciously made it so means that it ''is'' so. He said nothing so ambiguous as "I agree it comes across that way." Moreover, in a followup tweet he didn't correct a person who mentioned it, when it would have been the perfect opportunity to clear up any miscommunication. Given these two things together (plus textual evidence from the books which prompted the question in the first place) it really can't be considered to merely be fan speculation, or somehow illegitmate speculation. I added it where I did more for the sake convenience -- choosing to dump information into the article to be moved around and edited later as necessary. Now, given all that, I'll add it to the article again, this time in the personality section, and cite the second tweet. --[[User:Shroom|Shroom]] ([[User talk:Shroom|talk]]) 23:12, 31 December 2016 (MST)
:::: I read the referenced tweets differently. I think Brandon's response merely suggests that he can see how she ''might'' be interpreted that way. In other words, he subconsciously wrote her in a specific way... which inadvertently resulted this interpretation. There's no ''evidence'' which directly relates to Shallan's sexuality--only her personality, which may or may not be consistent with a "typical" bisexual personality. In fact, from what I remember, the original tweet wasn't actually even serious. The person wasn't approaching Brandon with a serious question based on evidence; it was just a joke that happened to receive a thoughtful answer from Brandon. If we want to make a hard claim like this without textual evidence, then the WoB has to be unquestionable. There's a big difference between "Yes, Shallan is bisexual," and "Huh, I guess I wrote her with a bisexual-like personality." All of that said, I don't disagree strongly enough (or feel that the issue is notable enough) to insist on further editing. --[[User:Jofwu|Jofwu]] ([[User talk:Jofwu|talk]]) 07:11, 2 January 2017 (MST)
