"chaotic bisexual-" i don't find this particularly encourages me to read the book, actually. i might anyway, because of the concept (and in a partial hope to prove my preconceptions wrong), but i think that a mistake was made somewhere in the marketing stage

#like market in whatever way works #maybe some people like that #and i make chaotic bisexual jokes on here (i'm not actually that chaotic i'm just stupid but that's not the point)#i don't like sexuality being reduced to personality traits. i don't like 'oh? bisexual? chaotic/edgy' or 'oh? pan? bubbly and kind'#yes there are people who fit into those stereotypes but it's very much not everyone #isn't how sexuality words #works #and it's annoying enough in fandom spaces (i'm thinking about one specific character no it's not who you may expect #or maybe you do expect it to be her)#because while there can be differences in bisexuality and pansexuality (note: not for everyone but for some people #such as myself yes)#which is why both need to be represented #people are not taking those into account when they're saying if a character is bi or pan #circling back to this book #it feels a lot like it's in that admittedly very online train of thought #where sexuality is not a neutral aspect of someone's identity that defines a lot of their experiences #but exists as a result of their personality because they already behave in a certain way #so the next logical step is bi!!#it annoys me #and i'm aware. this is not a real problem to have #and i am overreacting #but also consider #this is my blog #i am so sorry to the people who decided to follow me based on my posts that blew up this is a rough one for you #i will not judge you if you leave
