I mean, i do get your point but bisexuality exists too, that's a thing, dating same sex people and then not same sex people doesn't mean they aren't queer
The demon king isn't even involved with the sacred messengers tho. He is just using them to get life force.
assuming someone dating the opposite gender after being involved with the same gender(?) makes them not queer is actually really weird
and while i think its fine to have BLs with just gay characters, people complaining about this particular one having a straight relationship in it is such icky behaviour genuinely
I know, hence the quotations marks of “straight” and “phase”. I think we’re on somewhat a similar wavelength. It’s the way I organize my thoughts.
Bi people are valid as queer no matter who they’re dating. This is coming from one. But when it comes to eye of the general public, which one is more acceptable? Definitely the “straight” part. I want the “gay” part to be accepted too…
It is weird. But part of it is normalize while the other part isn’t. If you get what I mean. Like only heteronormative is accepted and anything else besides that is invalid.
It’s a comfort zone as I mentioned. I do agreed it’s a little out of pocket to dislike the princess right off the bat. She didn’t do anything for me to dislike her nor she’s a bad person. I might take it back if she is.
Honestly I don’t mind that there is a het side couple in BL/GL. It’s not like they’re the main focus. The only issues I have is when queer characters are turned “straight”.
This is why I don’t mind it when characters that were once in a straight relationship went into same sex relationship. Not the other way around bc it feels like previous relationship the character had is a “phase”
Anyways, that’s my opinion. It’s refreshing to see both sides in same story setting bc at least the writer made an effort to make it inclusive.
But, I think it’s also fine having just only gay characters in BL/GL bc it’s a safe comfort zone. Due to the numerous amount of media that solely focus on straight romance or just adds it over queer romance. What draws the line is queerbaiting. Straight is universal as it is.
