*Female character expresses romantic/sexual interest in more than one gender*
“If you think they are anything but lesbian you’re homophobic.”
jfc it keeps happening
You mean the Life is Strange fandom in reaction to anything but Pricefield?
I mean how some bad eggs in the LiS fandom will call you lesbophobic for pointing out Max can have romantic interest with Warren or Chloe. Or mention the fact while Chloe obviously has a strong romantic feelings for Rachel, she mentioned boy toys in her past.
Steven universe too. People treating Greg like his only purpose was to make children, Rose didn’t really love him. Christ that’s more fucked up when you consider who Greg and Steven are based on Rebecca Sugar’s father and brother.
Same for Korra and Asami. They had sexual and romantic attraction to male and female. Creators even outright stated they were BISEXUAL. Haha nope you’re homophobic if you say that! He was just a phase!
Shit another one that hits me a bit harder is Vidalia and Amethyst in Steven Universe. Vidalia has had confirmed 2 male partners, and is currently married to one. Could she be bi or pan? Yeah, sure. To stretch that to there’s no way she could love Fishtail and only uses him for the welfare of her kids (Deja fucking vu) and is in secret lesbians with Amethyst, though? Point out any of that (and that cheating is gross) and yeah, you guessed it, you’re a lesbophobe.
Amethyst is my favorite gem. I play her as asexual as a mirror to myself. So you can imagine how I must of felt to be told that platonic relationships were boring, and not REAL like a true romantic one.
Now imagine being bi or pan or any other invisible sexuality with people policing shit so black and white its just as suffocating as the opposite side of the spectrum.
It fucking sucks and it fucking hurts.
Yep, still is happening.
Yep, still cool to police FICTIONAL SHIPS to the point of insulting people’s actual sexuality!
