then it's already not denied. Giving him a female love interest doesn't deny bisexuality.

Except there's no canon indication that there's anything more than strong male friendship or the possibility that he might have romantic interest in men.

Except the anon I'm replying to says there doesn't need to be confirmation, just "not denying"

The lip bite and Oscar saying he was playing romantic say otherwise.

I assumed he was joking in that interview.

Nope.

Nothing indicates he was being serious or joking and he hasn't mentioned anything about it since

Wrong.

He was. Learn tone.

Watch All the appearances and interviews. He's serious.

Not only was he joking, but the joke was that he was playing romance with BB8. Not Finn.

They're not talking about Poe, anon. They're talking about Captain America.

I bet there are a ton of out takes of c Evans biting his lip and looking at Bucky like a plate of sirloin.

More like a plate of meatballs

You mean Sam Wilson

I'm a massive Stormpilot fan, but I thought he was joking about BB-8 in that "playing it romantic" Ellen interview? Do you have a link to the video? Apparently I didn't pay close enough attention.

He was joking about BB-8.

Funny, I thought he was joking about Albert King.

Shit, I didn't see this comment before posting my own. But yeah, you're absolutely right.

See, this is a case of fans reading waaaaay too much into a joke. Not only was he joking, but it was about Poe and BB-8, not Finn. All the gifs on tumblr took his comment way out of context.

So true. I followed the Stormpilot tag for the first week after TFA released, before it became too busy and I gave up. In that week, it went from somebody posting a gifset of that interview and making a comment (that may have been the OP joking) that he could be talking about Stormpilot, to nonstop posts holding that interview up as gospel proof that Isaac played Finn/Poe as romance and that Stormpilot is canon, damnit!!1! It was like a game of Whispers or Telephone. People were posting caps of the interview and referring to it constantly, but if you watch it, it's very clear he's only joking about, saying it could be a droid. And when anybody made a post reminding people of that fact, that post went ignored. Inside of a week, the interview became Stormpilot legend, when all it would take was a matter of minutes to actually watch it and see it's not definitively about Stormpilot at all. It was really strange to witness something like that happen so quickly - I love TFA fandom but we have no chill at all.

This comment is so satisfying to read.

Exactly. I saw the gifsets first, but was disappointed when I watched the interview and saw it wasn't about Poe/Finn romance at all. Not to mention a week or so after, John Boyega said in an interview that there was no potential Poe/Finn romance, so there you go.

I love TFA fandom, but stuff like this makes me stay on the outskirts because when people read into every offhand comment, things become intense very quickly.

Lol, you're new to fandoms if you think this one is unchill.
