toxic bisexual flag

true to my blog name, i'm proposing a design for the trope reclamation. as far as i know, there are only two other existing versions, and they just don't speak to me.

while i like the one in my current icon, i decided to keep the vague theme and give my flag a hazey pastel vibe mixed with dark, desaturated hues ─ think of the clouds after nuclear waste when the planet goes into an eternal winter!

there are two versions you can use if you like: one with an off-white/off-black pair bordering the central stripe, and the other without that makes it a familiar bi ratio (2:1:2) format.

Water

An energy drink

And tea

lesbophobia is when other lgbts have fun with flags because no matter what they do it has to copy the top-of-the-hierarchy lesbians somehow in order to be relevant

that is so fucking weird like imagine if bisexual women gatekept the “annoying bisexual” trope because other LGBTs aren’t... called annoying... for speaking up about the issues they face...? y’all would have a field day telling us we aren’t good enough to be reclaiming stereotypes mostly because it comes from other LGT groups online and therefore we must be homophobic and transphobic somehow

WEIRDOS !!! anyways nice & mean bisexuals follow me i’m a mean bi (annoying lesbians too if y’all want)

What's it called when you're straight but you're also a walking bi stereotype

not to be That Person but y’all have got to learn to be more normal about bisexual and pansexual characters. this isn’t 2012. women romancing astarion is not the problem, nor is karlach “lesbian coded”. the real problem is y’all’s bi/panphobia stemming largely from homophobic stereotypes

#i am TIRED of astarion being the slutty twink i am TIRED of karlach being a butch lesbian. let people fucking live #bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #might have to make another post about this later but ppl are seriously starting to piss me off #me n mac were just talking abt the absurd amount of biphobic stereotypes and flanderization in this fandom so if u see this. hi mac o7 #edit: updated this bc astarion is confirmed pan not bi. the point about biphobia and karlach still stands tho!

"Now you live in a secret bunker with an angel and Lucifer’s kid", AKA queering domesticity par excellence

#something capital-q Queer about the way they create a life within The Life unlike the heteronormative 'apple pie life' the show critiques #(and just the way they're masculine mlm never stereotyped into 'man/woman' roles even with constant parallels to m/f pairings) #it's barrier-breaking and they're very special to me 🥺 #dean winchester #castiel #destiel #spnedit #supernatural #spn #parallels #dean is bi #spn is queer #mine

“im a hater at heart” and its biphobia

#was forced to see bg3 shit takes and now i am capital p Pissed #also misogyny ‘straight girls romancing astarion/modding/etc’ like #did they kill ur grandma?? or are you using ‘straight’ to justify being misogynistic to women because you dont make the same choices #and ‘this character is def gay!! no way theyr bi’ and their ‘proof’ is homophobic stereotypes #be normal

[labmousegirl]

the state of literary analysis in fandom is tragic

#‘rnn sibling coded’ can u just say u prefer another ship without trying to make a moral panic about…. shipping childhood friends..? #but i’ve also seen people say ‘you can’t hc (chara) as bi theyre gay coded’ #and ‘coded’ to them will be like… stereotypes #like fandom just needs to learn how to have headcanons people just use ‘coded’ to seem More Right

he is so talented

#sonic the hedgehog #saltcat posting #I FIDNT EVEN REALIZE THE BI TIE OMG #guys he’s actually putting the headphone to his ear though it’s common for stereotypical djs to only put it at one ear

[wakeupthemembersofbylernation]

are bi mike despisers aware that bi teens can still suffer from internalized homophobia, comphet, and the societal pressure to conform?

#byler #mike wheeler #nothing wrong with believing in bi mike or gay mike #and nothing wrong believing one or the other has more evidence #but when you actively detest even the CONCEPT of bi mike I think it’s important to unpack that further #especially if you say ‘mike can’t be bi because of X’ and X isn’t even an argument from canon #but rather a stereotype or an incorrect assumption about what bisexuality is #(I say this as someone who is mostly a gay mike truther at this point) #I promise the world won’t implode if mike is revealed to be bi or vice versa

some of the buddie takes im seeing on this goddamn site this week are awful

like what do you mean you want them to kiss at the bachelor party?? (which would be cheating???)

or for buck to say eddies name instead in bed???

or for tommy to be the one to realise AND tell buck that hes in love with eddie???

it genuinely just shows that people dont care at all about the fact that we got a beautiful later in life coming out story for buck, just that they just want only these specific two guys to kiss like???

we gained another queer character and buck gets to have a love interest that actually cares about him for once! these are wins!

#dont get me wrong i want buddie to happen but this shit is embarassing #buck is dating this guy who is lovely and supportive and is the best love interest weve ever had for buck in 6 and a half seasons!!!! #why are we treating him like a stepping stone??? #why do people think its okay for other people to treat their love interests like this fjzixjsjs #also the fact that its a harmful bi stereotype #also the fact that oliver stark has made many comments about how theyre taking so much care with this storyline #like people need to get a grip #buddie #bucktommy #ace rambles

[strugglingatart]

Funny, but not funny haha, funny weird that despite Gorgug being the one who has canonically kissed a guy that somehow Fabian, who only has expressed interest in women is the definitively gay™ to some of y'all

#listen it's FINE to headcannon shit #but the specific way some of y'all talk about Fabian and him def being gay #or being too queer to function or whatever #makes me extremely uncomfortable #and it's not everyone I swear #but it's bearing problematic stereotyping and bi erasure in many posts and I'm starting to hate that head cannon #sorry to those of you who are normal #also straight people are allowed to be obssesed with their friends(or queer ppl are allowed to be obsessed w friends and it not be a crush #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy

[bi-sapphics]

y’know what i just realized and think is weird but worth mentioning?? y’all are so caught up in the fact that bi women and sapphics are completely oriented around and end up with men in the lifelong rundown that you forget women-oriented and women-preferring bi sapphics do exist and are many in numbers, they just formulate in different ways because of all this bimisogyny and stereotyping surrounding statistics and behavior.

like, think about it. all of these “mspec lesbians” are bisexual, because they are mspec, and they call themselves lesbians because sapphicism and dating women is their priority. think about all of these bisexuals who are rightfully against mspec lesbians but call themselves lesbians (in the real, unattracted to men sense) anyway because as far as they know, if they don’t involve themselves with men or deem their OGA unimportant then they might as well be. it follows the logic, if you can stop being attracted to men overtime and/or if it gets so weak that you can just dismiss it as comphet then you can be a lesbian, so why not just take advantage of that grey area and pretend that’s the case even if you’re really bisexual? it’s an effective solution to have the right assumptions made about you and your dating choices with the way things are between our communities right now. if you don’t have to be associated with those disgusting bihets because you don’t even relate to them, then why should you?

i’m not saying i support that kind of lying, because i don’t, even though i don’t even believe it comes from a malicious place. but maybe think about what causes this epidemic of “fake lesbians” thinking they belong better in the lesbian community than their own out of sheer ignorance combined with a desperate need to find like-minded people. it makes logical sense, even if it’s wrong in the long run. if anything, it might not even be lying, a lot of the time these sapphics just genuinely believe their situation is called comphet when it isn’t in their individual case because it’s understood that that is a real, valid, and accepted experience. that’s what i did for a whole year, until i realized my personal attraction just wasn’t comphet.

it’s important to hold lesbophobes accountable when they’re actually hurting lesbians, but i also think there are some underlying issues causing this lesbophobia that need to be addressed for the better sake of everyone involved. it would help both of us much more to assume the best of each other and simply educate than to harass and dogpile based off of assumptions. i understand the anger because it’s rightful justice but you shouldn’t be taking it out on individuals who aren’t really at fault because that will just hurt and confuse them more rather than actually solve anything. that’s all.
