Please i love it so far but the amount of bi/pan erasure
Yess omg I really liked it a lot but the bi/pan phobia is getting on my nerves a bit how does one write a comic art mlm and not even know/discuss bi ppl at all
*abt
right ?? sounds like fetishization of mlm relationships to me :/
THANK YOU ┗( T﹏T )┛
My bisexual ass was just fuming reading. Like, come ON, it isn't that difficult to just say he's bi/pan; or just doesn't give a single fuck. he likes who he likes regardless of the other person's gender! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I personally only throw the word fetishization around when I'm absolutely sure that's the intention and for this story I really don't think that's the case. More like they wanted to make a cute mlm story and the author themself is biphobic (which like yikes) or j ignorant and didn't do any research.
I really hope it's the latter and the author is just ignorant cause there are some people that think you can only be gay or straight (or that it's just a stepping stone to coming out as one of the two) ╥﹏╥
Yep me too and ye biphobia is sometimes prevalent even in the LGBT community it's pretty sucky ://
ikr ╥﹏╥
yeah, might as well give them the benefit of doubt :/
okay but who's going to tell them that :-
1) you cannot just "become gay".
2) if you are a man who likes another man you're /not/ straight. come on now. there's no such thing as "i used to be straight before i fell for you" or "i am straight, but i only like you".
3) as this manhwa seems to forget, bisexual people exist. even if you've only ever dated the opposite sex or even only felt attracted to them up until then, it doesn't make you any less bi. you could've only ever liked one person of the same sex and guess what ? you're still 100% bi.
this manhwa is really weird in the sense that it is trying to make the struggles of being gay an important part of the gay characters and a sort of plot point, yet being weirdly homophobic and biphobic with such implications.
