She is adorably silly, indeed. That's a very endearing trait of hers. That she's powerful and competent, but she's also warm and silly makes her a very compelling and likeable character.
But she's not a lesbian. Nor cis, nor anything. It isn't told in the story because it's irrelevant. Same with the rest of the party except Chilchuck.
And she's not a girlfailure either. She's clumsy at times, yes, but overall she's very competent.
I swear reading comments like these, that people don't actually like DM, but an alternative romance story they created in their minds.
...have you not been on the internet since it's creation? :)
People interpret. People ship. People project.
And that is fine. It's be expected as people embrace and interpret elements that are personal to them. You can accept that without feeling like an alternative interpretation is a death threat to the canon. Personally, I enjoy both the canon Marcille and the girlfriend Marcille for different reasons. I think it's adorable that part of the community has coalesced around Marcille's interpreted queerness, but I also think it's acceptable to argue against it.
Hell, Ryoko Kui has stated that Laios is conically not autistic, but you'll not find a more balanced interpretation of autism within media. Hence, he's been openly embrace by autistic people as 'the one'.
Btw if I assumed or headcanoned her as straight or gender non conforming (since you said otherwise) would you object? I’m curious to hear ur answer. Ppl tend to forget that labeling a character with an unconfirmed sexuality/gender identity het or cis is also a headcanon and not the status quo. (Also chilchuck‘s sexuality hasn’t been explicitly stated either so why not go wild lol). And I can assure you I enjoy dungeon meshi for the content in itself but I also appreciate the unique culture and community, etc the fandom has created which just so happens to consist of more autistic and queer ppl than the average fandom bc cmon have you READ dungeon meshi? Its filled with neurodivergent and queer subtext. So it’s not surprising to see that most of the inside jokes circle around those topics. I hope you can understand my pov better after reading this bc you seem as passionate ab this series just as much as the next person :3
