Why do yaoi or sometimes even shouen ai manga make it seem like bisexuals don't exist ??? It's just funny.

    Maybe its got something to do with language?

    In my language we dont even have a term for "straight" and "bisexual"

    I like men and women, Im not straight but I wouldnt call myself gay either

    Well but you can say that you like both but no inmost of the mangas it's either straight or gay like parallel lines. Most of them just deny to recognise bisexuals.

    I guess its hard to recognize it when there's no common word for it? Again I'm not sure about how it is in Japanese

    In my culture its kinda similar? Its either people label you as straight or gay and usually nothing in between because a.) Ignorance b.) Having no word for bisexuals and the concept of it generally not being commonly discussed

    Unlike in the west or in the english language, sexuality has a lot of labels and is very openly discussed

    theres def a term for bisexuals in japanese, so this is not the case.

    i dont wanna assume, but perhaps you might not be familiar w the lgbtq language of your country? bc my language doesnt have the appropriate terms for anything lgbtq related as well. we dont even have terms for “straight” and “gay”. instead, we adopt those terms from english. perhaps that might be the case w your language, but it doesnt necessarily mean it doesn’t exist.

    This is like REALLY late, but the teacher seems more like he’s demisexual/demiromantic, with more leaning to girls? Cause he doesn’t find guys attractive, but after getting to know ml, he starts to see him as attractive and falls in love with him, despite being “straight”
