always straight media, and then the moment a character is gay or lesbian the straights r like “please just be bi” like bc its somehow ‘less worse’ than gay or lesbian bc at least they still have some attraction to the other sex

bi/pan ppl will see that character and go “wait dont write them off as g/l yet, they may be b/p!!!” because , in reality , the majority of lgbt characters introduced/revealed are just l and g, no b. so when they see another gay occurrence, they say, “maybe this one is bi!!!!!” 

and then all the angry posts are entirely misdirected! they’re mad at the bi people for what the straight people are actually the ones doing! theyre saying to bi and pan people’s posts : “you need to stop taking lesbians and gays and saying they could be something else! let us have lesbain and gay characters!”

and the bi and pan people are like “LET SOME OF THEM BE BI ONES!!” thats what it is folks. thats what the probelm is right there. wires gettin crossed. misunderstandings.

the bottom line is, if it hasnt been explicitly stated/disproven one way or the other, and u wanna project the possibility of ur own sexuality on a character that hasnt been confirmed somethin else, u can 100% do that.

It’s even worse when a character is canonically bi and people still keep yelling the they’re lesbian like Korra and asami
