The idea that a fictional character expresses undertones of traditionally "queer" traits but is never canonically labeled as queer. Do you think these are valid thoughts that often go into the creation and presentation of characters or is this just tumblr level "I head canoned this character as gay and now all my slash fiction is completely ruined"?

WotC1: we should have a queer couple in the lore
WotC2: how about Chandra and Nissa?
WotC1: love it. make it happen

two years later

WotC1: we should make a TV show. Who should lead?
WotC2: How about Chandra. Everyone loves her.
WotC1: love it. make it happen.
WotC3: is this show going to air in China and Russia?
WotC1: of course, those are huge markets.
WotC3: but, she's in a relationship with another woman.
WotC1: never happened.
WotC2: it was all just a misunderstanding.

yes

though it's also perfectly possible for queer coding to be unintentional on the part of the writer
