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