I don't know, probably different reasons, maybe because the character seems more suited to being gay, homosexual, maybe because of shipping ideas, maybe its to identify better with the character, maybe its because they want more diversity, could be numerous things.
Bit like asking why do so many people want Asian comic book characters to be white and then giving an example of people talking about an Italian character that should be Roman Catholic.Īs for the why though, which I suspect is the point of contention. As in the kinds of people that will try to get with anything with a pulse… and even then given comics and how dead characters aren't always dead… and pansexual is a very different concept to homosexuality. Deadpool as in the movie? I believe a few of his writers have mentioned they write Deadpool as pansexual in interviews before, like years and years ago, can't remember the specifics of the top of my head, but yeah, since it sort of fits the oddness of the character, ditto Hercules.
