Oh, I'd never have a problem with someone saying that they preferred to keep a character who's canonically straight -- and has demonstrated it time and again -- IC.

I've seen a number of instances myself of players massacring a character's canon personality just to get some buttsecks. Not that there's anything wrong with wanting to play slash, but if you have to butcher your character to make it plausible, why do it?

But Captain Jack Harkness...

...was first introduced to us standing in a WWII officer's club complimenting one of his fellow (male) officers on his ass...

...a few episodes later, kissed The Doctor full on the lips as a way of saying goodbye...

...has been caught, a few times, by his Torchwood associates, en flagrante delicto with another of their associates, a man named Ianto...

...and has been shown in so many same-sex clinches in his canon run that, while he's officially bisexual, he seems to prefer same-sex relationships to heterosexual ones when given the option.

In fact, while it wouldn't be impossible to pair him up with a woman, it'd probably be a lot harder to sell that pairing as IC to those familiar with his canon.

Best of all, of course, he's not the least bit swishy, and totally sells the notion that you can be the epitome of Manly Man Action Hero and love the cock. Awesome on so many levels.

If the applicant had been making this claim about, say... Noah Bennett from Heroes? I'd have wanted to clean up their spelling but I'd have felt they had a very good point. Saying it about Captain Jack, though, just knocked them straight into the "Complete Moron" column. XD

LOL! Oh, durr, I was writing this while you replied to gay_bear, thinking you didn't know Captain Jack's canon. Nemmind! Sorry about the pedantic lecture on Stuff You Already Know. XD
