"I think I exist, therefore I exist. I think."

Seen a couple of reviews criticising a certain part where a character claims they "chose to be" gay & I just want to address that real quick:

3 reasons I don't think you're supposed to take him saying that at face value:

1) He's actually bi, duh

2) It's the part of the book where he goes mad & declares himself a god, he thinks he can decide literally everything

3) It's right after the part of the book where his future self tries to excise their first kiss - to choose not to be gay - & it doesn't work
