I'm gonna give you one more chance to save yourself, literally just one.

Here is the context:

The character didn't go on some soapbox to announce they're bisexual. They didn't announce they're bisexual at all. They just happened to have a scene where they kissed a fellow man.

Do you think this is "announcing" their sexuality? Please explain.

I'll preface this by stating that this has no relevance to anything I've said previously. Objectively, this is revealing new information to the audience that they didn't know before, so it is, in some sense, "announcing" it to the audience, but nowhere close to getting on a soapbox and delivering a speech to the world. It's also much better writing, obviously; a bi person tends to give more kisses to the same sex than announcements that they're bi to the world. As I've been discussing it, though, I wouldn't consider it an announcement. Unpacking (the game) has some really excellent diegetic storytelling to show that the main character is bi, and I love it for that.
