\\\"The opposite of Everyone Is Gay, Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today is a trope that takes place in a \\\'\\\'\\\'genre filled to the brim with Ho Yay.\\\'\\\'\\\' So, to compensate for this, \\\'\\\'\\\'every other line of dialogue\\\'\\\'\\\' comments on how some character is straight and their relationship with someone else is platonic.\\\"

So neither the page quote nor the page image are actually examples? This is NOT about \\\'\\\'characters\\\'\\\' part of whose machismo or whatever is going on about how they\\\'re not gay? The description implies not, because it\\\'s supposed to be dependent on genre, and possibly done by the writers more than the character. I suspect the meaning has drifted to include characters who do this, and why not, it\\\'s like a MissingSupertrope.

Saying this here because I haven\\\'t the time and energy to go though the examples and then start a TropeRepairShop discussion.
