Intent is hardly relevant now, indeed. Re. heterosexist googles, yes, I do have to make that effort; but I have slash googles, and I have a conceptual space, a possibility, for someone being bisexual. I suspect that if you lack that - and much of the population doesn't have it even now - Hawkeye's queerness is easily overridden by the straightness he also displays, so that the complexity ("queer, bisexual, maybe fluid, not as simple as "gay"") is ignored because it seems impossible.
