*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.
Here’s a new one I haven’t heard. I just read a long winded retort that can be boiled down to ’bisexuals aren’t as important as lesbian representation so stop being hateful unu’
As per usual, shipping antis are trying to use new misinformation to bully those in the SU fandom that ship Pearl with Mayor Dewey–this time, claiming that Deedee Magno-Hall said the pair “had no chance” at Supercon. This is, of course, horseshit, twisted into a pretzel knot to suit their needs.
(a lot of crowd reaction, “OOOOOOHHHHHHH”, applause)
DMH: I am not at liberty to answer that question. Next! No, I’m kidding! Honestly, I, uh, because I am simply the voice of Pearl, I have nothing to do with creation of the show, that’s up to Rebecca and the team. So honestly, I think that Pearl is completely oblivious to Mayor Dewey’s affection towards her. I mean, that’s what I think. I mean, what do you guys think?
(various crowd reactions)
DMH: Does she know? What do you think? Does she know? Is she toying with him? She doesn’t care, she’s like “uh, whatever”?
(various crowd reactions)
DMH: You know, I don’t think that she really–I think it flies over her head. Right? He’s a human!
(A muffled comment from the audience)
DMH: What’s that? Pearl’s a rock, and he’s a human. He’s a Mayor Human. Well, I hope I answered your question! In fact, actually, I can’t, I can’t answer your question. I’m sorry. It’s just–uh–not, uh, part of my–job description.
So, it’s not a condemnation, nor a confirmation–as ever, Rebecca’s stance of “please pair everyone with everyone else, don’t stop 0_0″ holds. (Although it’s really interesting how Deedee completely dunks the classic anti lines of “PEARL HATES MEN” and “DEWEY HITTING ON HER MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE”, even though she could ultimately give no official answers. Antis’ll conveniently forget that, I’ll bet.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But hey! Deedee echoed what a lot of shippers have theorized–Pearl just doesn’t understand humans!)
You’d think if the idea was as terrible as the antis say it is, there would be an actual condemnation, that she’d parrot at least some of the tired tripe they do. Civic duty, amirite? Funny how she didn’t. It’s almost like anti shit doesn’t stick outside their own cliques.(and seriously, at least one of them was running TWO concurrent hateblogs about this. I’m beginning to wonder just how many of them there really are.)
If that doesn’t dissuade the antis, a friendly reminder that the Crewniverse themselves have NO trouble pairing Pearl with men.
But seriously. Everyone, just keep on shipping, Even the antis–the only ones trying to stop anyone is them.
LMAO I was there in the first row in that panel. And when she answered I saw some people’s grins FALL when Deedee didn’t say “No” or “She hates men” And honestly it was hilarious to see them be disappointed 😂😂
@mambocat had a hunch it was a loaded question, and it sounds like it was. Karma is a beautiful thing, lmao.
Now some of them are trying to spin it to fit what they wanted anyway, or just aggressively ignoring it. I have no idea how they fool themselves with clapping their hands over their ears like that. No matter what they say, no matter how many times they say it, no matter how they make shit up and pretend, at the end of the day–reality is that the Crewniverse has drawn Pearl with men, Rebecca Sugar encourages shipping all the things, and that interview dunked their whole “Pearl hates men” spiel even though they were likely fishing for ammunition to harass shippers further. That’s Word Of God over a bunch of abusive asshats yowling with no arguments to counter it, except “ANYWAYS” and a lot of thinly-veiled bigotry.
Reality is, other queer headcanons are welcomed, what a concept.

While the bullying stuff is completely wrong, and 100% not okay, and should never happen. Pearl IS a lesbian. Like… obviously. Ship what you want, at the end of the day I really do not care, but it’s just the sarcastic few comments at the end that bug me. Lesbians have a hard enough time in the media as it is, so stop trying to erase them further like this. I will repeat, if you ship Pewey or whatever, I literally do not care, but the sarcastic comments at the end, just trying to bait someone into getting mad at you is just.. unnecessary. Pearl is very obviously a lesbian, and you can ship what you want, and I agree with this post that you should not bully people for what they like, especially not fictional ships for a cartoon. But this whole post is screaming “Ooo I’m saying she’s not a lesbian, what you gonna do about it?” and it’s not needed.
No one is saying “ooo, what are you going to do about it”. I have been abused over this ship, friends of mine have been abused over this ship, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been called straight, how many times shippers have been called a million despicable things, how many times they’ve had their artwork defaced or mocked, and how many people have been suicide baited.For something anti-shippers hate so much, they trawl the tags looking for people to bully, instead of ignoring it like anyone who isn’t an asshat would. So this is offering proof that the creators do the same thing shippers are doing, giving the shippers solid support from the Word Of God themselves. If you don’t want an argument? Don’t start one.
It isn’t my fault the typical anti-shipper argument consists of saying the same shit over and over again like it was fact (sometimes just making shit up), even though the creators themselves counter it.
Sarcasm? Forgive me (not really) that I have zero respect for bullies and liars, and sometimes it shows. No one but these abusive assholes are telling anyone what they can and can’t ship.
This never even came up until the shipping tags were flooded with harassment,
until people started getting anon hate, until multiple hate blogs
devoted to abusing subscribers of the tags popped up. If they want to
pull that routine, then you better believe they best have a better argument
than “because I said so, straighty”.
Or were we just supposed to meekly weather the abuse? I certainly hope you make a habit of reblogging people who harass the shippers the way you deigned to tone-police this post. That interview was already being used to tell shippers bald-faced lies. Where’s the concern over misinformation?
Where were you when one of the lesbian shippers in the tag was called a fake lesbian?
Where were you all the times I was called straight?
Or maybe the creators want everyone to see themselves in the show, and the characters, and have fun with that. Even dirty bisexuals like me, who clearly just need an “excuse” to ship two characters I enjoy together.
You have your lesbian Pearl. I have my bisexual Pearl. I don’t shit on your lawn, you don’t shit on mine. How’s that for a deal? I was already keeping up my end of it, but that wasn’t good enough for these bullies.
In any case, when the harassers stop attacking, I will be more than happy to stop defending. Good luck with that one.
Hey Tara remember when the show only had a few episodes and I rped Dewey a short while and that’s what started the ship for us way before the ‘hot one’ scene happened? That was fun.
SU fandom turned poisonous so fast I just stayed away tbh. Now I just watch the show and talk about stuff outside tumblr.
All you het aces still belong in pride remember that and ignore those who tell you differently
who are yall gonna invite next, het couples that are so str8 that its “queer”?
Yeah well bi people in “het” relationships have been told they aren’t welcome to come to pride because gatekeepers see them as straight, so we’ve been there done that.
stop comparing cishet aces to biphobia, biphobia is an intracommunity issue and cishet aces dont belong to the community
Nope I won’t because aphobia is recycled biphobia as I just pointed out. Not being “queer enough” to be in the LGBT community is something bi people have had to fight against for decades, and the same shitty arguments are being trotted out against ace/aro people.
You know, I always thought it was a little dishonest whenever I saw that, “@ aces, stop comparing your experiences to bisexuals’,” because by and large it’s not bi folks saying this nor ace folks making the comparison. It was just a smokescreen.
But now here we have it, cranked up to ten. They’re knowingly and explicitly telling bi people not to talk about our own lived experiences, or the parallels we see in other marginalized groups. I guess they’ve finally realized they can’t weaponize us against each other, this is their last Hail Mary to safeguard their fragile reactionism. Well, I say “last.”
Bi people CAN and SHOULD talk about their experiences within and outside of the community. No one’s kicking bisexuals out. What people are asking is for bisexual people not to bring their opposite sex partners to pride parades, and yes in general that means a cis man + cis woman couple, the kind that’s accepted and has rights everywhere in the world?? Because yes pride is one of the few times a year where people in same-sex couples can safely be together in public so bringing your het partner there who you are in a socially accepted relationship with IS fucking insensitive. It doesn’t mean the bi person themselves isn’t allowed to go to pride, of course they can!! We’re just asking for you not to bring you cis straight partner there so you pretend your relationship is something as radical as a same-sex one. How are you all so obtuse?
Do you realize how rude you sound? You’re saying that us bi/pan people can’t bring the person we love and care for. You’re saying the only reason you people want us in our organizations and pride is because we also love people of the same sex. You’re completely missing the point of out identities. Also, how are you going to know if someone isn’t cis? I’m not cis but I present female. Are you going to check for people’s not cis cards or just bash everyone who doesn’t meet what you think a non-cis person looks like?
And suddenly this post isn’t about ace people anymore.
Look, asexual people are not heterosexual. They may be sex-positive heteroromantic, but the fact is that heterosexuality is about sexual attraction to members of the opposite sex, homosexuality is about sexual attraction to members of the same sex and asexuality is about not having sexual attraction. They may engage in sex, and they still physically respond, but the drive is not there.
I am not trying to belittle the biphobia in the queer community. And I think that bi/pan people should be able to bring their significant others to Pride, because while the A in LGBTQA does not stand for ‘ally’, allies are still important. But this post started being about ace people, and that got dropped in favour of the struggle against biphobia.
Both are problematic in similar but incredibly distinct ways, and at the end of the day, it comes down to this: PASSING AS STRAIGHT IS NOT A PRIVILEGE. Asexual people are not heterosexual just because they’re not sexually attracted to their own gender. Because they’re not sexually attracted to the opposite gender either.
We are not ‘straight’. We may be heteroromatic, biromantic, panromantic, homoromantic, but the -sexuality part of heterosexuality and homosexuality is still a part of the word. And just because someone - bi, ace, whatever - can pass as a cis het person doesn’t mean we’re ‘not queer enough’.
“Asexual people are not heterosexual just because they’re not sexually attracted to their own gender. Because they’re not sexually attracted to the opposite gender either.”
I love how gatekeepers simultaneously try to use the biphobia we experience in the community as a white knight weapon against aces, even as they say HEY YOU CAN BE BI BUT DON’T COME TO PRIDE UNLESS YOU LOOK GAY,. MMKAY? BI IS BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG WE SUPPORT U uwu uwu uwu~ reblog if u agree
Aces have been told their entire lives they are broken. It was listed as
a mental illness until recently. They have faced corrective rape,
and abuse, and trying to fit a mold instead of being respected for who they are–does any of this sound familiar?
Oh, and of course, forgive me for thinking the sweeping declaration “aces are homophobic” is patently full of shit, because that’s the same tired line gatekeepers use when bisexuals don’t know their place.
As a bisexual woman with an amazing ace in her life: fuck you. It’s
shitheel behavior like yours that has no place in the community.
You’re hypocrites. Like, the lack of self-awareness is giving me a headache. How do you function with so much bile?
Don’t try to use all bisexuals as your excuse to be assholes, either, just cite the
bisexual assholes that agree with you. Because for every one you trot
out as “proof” the Great Bi Hivemind agrees with you, I can trot out one
that does not.

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!
Time to top off this fresh wave of bullshit with some fun facts about the charming hypocrites trolling this tag, now in convenient BULLET POINT FORM!
The antis lie about the shippers here every time. Every time. They erase real identities over a fictional character. Although many shippers here are members of the LGBTQIA community (by the way, notice how the community is more than just one letter? I know! I was shocked too!) and are shipping another queer headcanon, the antis call them str8s or imply they are nothing more than heterosexual bigots, because nothing spells out reason and logic like a good strawman argument. Even the lesbian shippers here have been called liars and traitors. Can you imagine that shit? It’s too complex for antis to tell the truth when a David and Goliath narrative is so much more sympathetic to their bullying. It’s too complex to consider there are more letters in the community besides L. It’s WAY too complex for them to realize that they are the ones doing the erasing. But they don’t like a fictional pairing, so they’re allowed, I guess.
The antis never admit that the creators of the show have drawn Pearl with men before, because it makes a bisexual or pan headcanon perfectly plausible, and absolutely nothing, not logic, not another viewpoint, and surely not even the show’s own creators, shall impede their “because I said so.” Kinda how they will never accept Amethyst as genderfluid. They just keep screaming PEARL IS A LESBIAN in response to any other headcanon, the equivalent of a small, temperamental child throwing their hands over their ears and going, “LA LA LA CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA!,” because anything else is str8 and gross. It can’t possibly be another marginalized identity enjoying a headcanon of their own. Or maybe it’s the bisexuals that they have a problem with? Anyone official who drew it obviously doesn’t work on the show anymore because they’re a dirty het, even though one is a actually a current writer, one is Rebecca Sugar herself, and the official blog reblogged the third with the tag of #waifu and called it “awesomely cute”. It’s like the creators know something the antis don’t. Shocking.
The antis, conversely, have absolutely no problem with headcanoning a canonly confirmed bisexual character as lesbian, because even if the writers show the character as enthusiastically interested in multiple genders, it could still be the compulsory heterosexuality somewhere outside the box, in the world of headcanon. No mobbing required for those headcanons. Only headcanoning an unconfirmed character who has been drawn with multiple genders is a clear act of erasure. Because they said so. And oh, how they will abuse you in that pretend person’s name.
The antis, in an effort to show that they don’t really have a problem with The Bisexuals, will trot out a bisexual who agrees with them, as a checkmate, like That One White Guy Who Totally Isn’t Racist Because He Has A Black Friend. But when lesbian shippers come forward, suddenly those lesbians do not speak for ALL lesbians. Or, again, they accuse them of being Fake Lesbians ™.
The antis will attack anyone they see bodyshaming characters with a righteous fury, except they do it themselves with Mayor Dewey all the time. Scratch that to “attack anyone they see bodyshaming characters they like”, I s’pose. It’s not hypocrisy then! Somehow.
The antis whine about being “dehumanized” while doing all of this if they are ever called out on it. Like this post. This post be called dehumanizing. Never mind the harassment they continually try to incite on the legit users of this tag. Never mind the real peoples’ identities they continue to shit on because they don’t like a cartoon ship. They are the ones under attack by “The Peweys”, not the shippers defending themselves against the deluge of anti bullshit in this tag. “The Peweys” are terrible, those big bad mean str8s out to pick on antis by–tagging their shit and drawing stuff antis don’t like. “The Peweys” make the antis come into the tag they hate, “The Peweys” personally come to their homes to keep them from blocking content that upsets the delicate anti constitution. Those monsters. I bet they even stole the last can of Who Hash.
The antis whine about shippers being “aggressive” while they relentlessly spam the tags with abuse.
The antis will declare stealing others’ art is bad, but will time and time again use art that isn’t theirs, without permission, without credit, to harrass the shippers who drew it.
The antis are all about abusing a bisexual artist shipping a bi headcanon for a character who has never been canonly established as gay, but they are nowhere to be found when canonly established bisexual characters are erased to be called lesbian. They’ll even reblog stuff that calls said characters gay. If antis do miraculously correct it, it’s politely worded in passing. Timidly, even. Maybe not call them lesbian? Please? Maybe? Bullying is reserved for the bisexuals that don’t know their place. I’d say you gotta wonder why, but it’s pretty damn obvious.
Too long, didn’t read, dodged all those bullet points?
You must be GREAT at Undertale.
Here’s the cliff notes version:
These assholes have zero credibility. All they know how to do is get louder and louder when someone presents an opposing viewpoint.
I know it’s tough when the bullying is so persistent, but please try to remember they are not worth your tears, or your troubles. They are hypocrites, plain and fucking simple. They have to lie to make their arguments. They’re suspiciously extreme about things bi and pan.
Bottom line: they are no one to listen to. Keep doing you.
I’ve seen some people praise Rose’s body, then call Greg a deadbeat gross slob a few posts later :l
Newer thing I’ve also seen is “Oh I’m ok with headcanoning bisexuals, just dont ship them with a man, that’s gross!”
Also I guess if I don’t plaster and advertise my sexuality everywhere I’m immediately a homophobic hetero. Somehow me being upset over someone erasing my sexuality to make me seem a big bad makes me a “bitter loser,” but HOLY SHIT HOW DARE YOU HEADCANON PEARL AS BI, I’M MAKING A CALLOUT POST.
Like…..shipping drama has been around for a long ass time, but wow. Being told you had no place at pride as a bisexual or ace because they don’t like your ship? Holy shit, fuck off.
haha who says the canon lesbian who is literally wary of all men she is shown interacting with in the series is a lesbian :)
lmao shut the fuck up
While Pearl is very obviously not straight, where in the hell is she confirmed as a lesbian in canon? Has she, or her creators, verbally expressed that she is exclusively attracted to women because I don’t think so? I’m a gay guy who is literally wary of all men I’ve interacted with, does that somehow make me straight by this logic?
hmm maybe because of the fact she is only romantically invested ever in a woman that it is fucking obvious that she is a lesbian. men and women see men differently, and she literally does not like any man holy shit. every single man she is seen interacting with she has not liked. it’s almost like the fact she’s been only around women for most of her life to you gross ass lesbophobes means “she hasn’t found the right guy yet”
why do y’all hate lesbians so fucking much christ.
Here we go again.
Here’s the thing, the Crewniverse never have stated her sexuality. What they have done, though, in addition to Rose and Amethyst teases, is draw her with men severaltimesbefore this, Rebecca actually referencing it in an interview. The Crewniverse, including Rebecca herself, are perfectly comfortable presenting this character in a multisexual context. Pearl is theircreation, not yours, they know her best, so don’t be surprised when fans take the Word Of God(dess) over angry accusations that frankly speak more loudly of your own issues than they do about the people you are attacking.
It seems popular to say these sketches here are somehow the reason this artist no longer works on the show. Yet the Crewniverse’s official blog not only reblogged it, but called it “awesomely cute” and tagged it #waifu.
They. Don’t. Care. Actually, they very much seem to ENJOY it. It’s almost as if maybe, just maybe, this character could actually be seen as that horrible b-word or p-word harassers like you vehemently try to push away like it was some plague. It’s almost like when Rebecca said “please pair everyone with everyone else”, she meant “please pair everyone with everyone else”.
So Pearl can definitely be interpreted this way with a solid basis in the Crewniverse’s own imaginations. You have zero ground to call it homophobia unless you’re willing to say Rebecca herself is homophobic too, because she dares portray her own character as something you personally disagree with.
No one is denying Pearl’s love of Rose, and outside of television network edits and one troll blog I haven’t seen anyone say she has to be straight because ew icky gayness. THAT would be homophobia. This is not. Did you know that bi people don’t always show equal interest in all genders 24/7? We don’t also lose our bi card if we fall in love.
Pearl now gets along just fine with Greg, and she became much more cordial to Mayor Dewey when he stopped being a puffed-up shmuck and sincerely thanked her for her help on the play. There have been no instances in this show where they have showcased this “EW MEN” attitude you claim she has.
By your logic, Rose was a lesbian who was “changed” by the right man. Now, there’s already been plenty of erasure of Rose’s relationship with Greg, but strangely few people in this vocal mob gives two shits about that. There are people dogpiling this poor artist–a bad fucking habit this fandom has gotten into–when they know ZERO about them personally. You’re willing to make terrible assumptions based on art that Rebecca Sugar herself enjoyed and that the Crewniverse promoted.
Bisexuals exist. Stop trying to deny us a freaking HEADCANON of a character’s UNCONFIRMED sexuality, especially when the creators have drawn it themselves. If you want to roll your eyes and tag #lesbophobia, go tag it to them, they are the ones in charge, they created this character, they own this character, and they freely chose to present her this way.
You have your lesbian Pearl. Others have their demi ace Pearl. I have my bi/pan Pearl. There’s a Pearl for everyone. Live and fucking let live. And if all else fails:
This whole “If you’re not gay or lesbian you’re not valid” shit needs to stop. You’re not creating a safe space doing this, you’re making it more toxic. There’s WAY more letters than just LG for a reason.
