#omni erasure

[flyingdumpsterfire]

that moment where omnisexual is so hated on and underrepresented that you just tell people you're bi to stop them trying to correct your sexuality

i have come out to 2 people so far who have responded like this: me: I'm omnisexual, so I like all genders but I have a preference them: so you're bi another one I've heard is: me: i saw this hot guy today but then i also saw this hot girl and i had omni panic

them: why call yourself omni, that's too confusing, just use bi or pan more people understand that

what i'm trying to say is:

stop correcting people's sexualities, it's THEIR decision

Omnisexuality is valid and not biphobic whatever you might think

thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Honestly the mspec gay/lesbian discourse is so stupid. I'm bi and I don't like being referred to as gay even as a joke, and monosexual q slur taggers loooove to call me and anything/anyone bi gay all the fucking time even after I state this boundary. But suddenly when a couple of bis actually go "wait yeah I am gay and bi, sure why not" (which we have been doing for decades btw) you people react like they're personally trying to put you into conversion therapy

So mspec gays calling themselves that do so because of internalized biphobia, but monosexual gays erasing our bisexuality by constantly calling our explicitly bisexual experiences "gay" ISN'T biphobia? can't have it both ways guys cmon

I really can't believe we are still having this discussion!

Do you guys not understand how easy it is, for flamboyant pansexual and bisexual men, to be mistaken for gay, and see their chances with the ladies (unless pansexual, bisexual, omnisexual or polysexual themselves) become nearly non existent?

Flamboyantly bi/pan men do not walk around expecting to eat pussy on a regular basis! That's not how their world works!

Straight women tend to avoid them (even when they explicitly state that they enjoy being in a relationship and/or having sex with women as much as they would any other gender) because they are perceived as still being in denial about being "so obviously gay"!

And gay men will typically go "Oh, you are so cute! Don't worry, I was where you were once, too. You'll figure it out!"

And the more "stereotypically gay" they look and behave, the harder it is going to be for them to convince monosexuals that they genuinely enjoy being romantically and/or sexually involved with women.

The pansexual / bisexual man stereotype, is them doing all they can to avoid letting their queerness show, and changing the label they give to their sexual orientation depending on the gender of their partner.

Because most cisgender gay men won't care if you don't "look gay enough" or fail to give them clear "gay vibes". They'll just trust that you're genuinely into men if you put their dicks into your mouth while looking very into it!

Straight cisgender women, however, are conditioned to fear the idea that "even if he's currently enthusiastically eating my pussy while sporting an erection, there's a risk he'll be leaving me for a man".

The pansexual / bisexual stereotype is invisibility. It's passing as straight when you're with a woman, and passing as gay when you're with a man.

Or, when you're not invisible, being disproportionately popular with the men, and only able to "occasionally get some" with pan/bi women.

It's not being flamoboyantly artistic with a melodic higher pitched voice and talking with your hands a lot, while having many powerful lords wanting to kill you because you can't keep your dick in your pants and you've been sleeping with so many of their wives, daughters and nieces that you've lost count!

Jaskier is one of the least stereotypical pansexual characters you could ever find on television! Because he's a freaking walking gay stereotype that doesn't get mistaken for being gay, and whose open pansexuality doesn't appear to harm his chances with the ladies one bit!

Prince/King Radovid belongs to the gay community. If you want to criticize the show's queer representation of gay men, and say that they're too heavily leaning into gay men stereotypes by having made him this sensitive, highly empathetic and emotionally intelligent man that shows great consideration for the needs of his partner, knock yourselves out!

But Jaskier's portrayal is meant to represent the non-monosexual a-spec community. He's been officially labelled as panromantic/sexual, sapioromantic/sexual.

He's not, and never has been, a gay character.

Arguing he's "bad queer representation", because he's heavily leaning into "gay stereotypes", is yet another example of bisexual erasure in society.

You are denying the unique experiences and relationship challenges that pansexual, bisexual, omnisexual and polysexual men are facing in how they present themselves to the world, and the impact that passing as either "straight" or "gay" is having on their romantic and sexual relationships.

If you're a flamboyant straight man fearing to be mistaken as gay, trust me, the flamboyant pan/bi/omni/poly men fully agree with you!

They keep being mistaken for gay all the time, and it greatly tends to ruin their chances with the ladies, too!

Thankfully, Jaskier is showing the world that being flamboyant should not hurt your popularity with women, and that it sure as hell doesn't make you gay!

So rejoice, he's arguing the exact same point you are!

Being flamboyant doesn't make you gay!

You could also be straight, bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, etc.

Flamboyantly masculine men love romancing and having sex with women!

We keep saying it, and thankfully they've finally listened to us with the portrayal of Jaskier on "The Witcher"!

I call this a huge win for all flamboyant men that love women out there, regardless of orientation!

MAY I REQUEST THEE FOR A RADIOAPPLE RANT 🙏🏼

(No pressure just wanted to say hi :D)

oo i have w o r d s to say about this ship (i love the gif so much) (and hihi :DD)

hmm well lets go with reasons people dont like it

"lucifer is married!!"

bestie do the words "when he and mom split" (straight from charlie btw) mean nothing to you?? i mean yeah a "split" between couples doesnt always mean divorce but if youre gonna interpret it as not then its just as fine for me to say it does

2. "they hate each other!!"

whaaat really??? i had no idea. its not like, i dunno, i watched the same fucking show as you did. fanon≠canon yall (also radioapple fics are like. notorious for their slowburn)

3. "i ship him with x!!"

...good for you?? doesnt stop me from having my fun

4. "it just doesnt make sense!!" (not at you @bookworm-fangirl1 x)

yeah crackships do be like that sometimes. dont even get me started on the crossover ones

4. "lucifer likes girls!!"

whats that? it smells like... sniff... oh! ✨bi erasure✨! or ✨pan erasure✨! or ✨omni erasure✨! or ✨any-sexuality-where-you-like-multiple-genders erasure✨! what fun :) /j

5. "alastor is (aro)ace!!"

okay this ones a bit harder to immediately refute as an allo (probably) but i have heard many a testaments from actual aces and i can say with (almost) complete certainty... they dont fucking care lol. asexuality is a spectrum people, by saying this youre implying there is a wrong way to (aro)ace. plus tech the aro part isnt canon, just something amir said (also its almost always the allos getting pissed lol. word of advice: the aces dont need you to police on their behalf)

hmm i think thats it for the most part :D (sorry for the late response puff)

[posi-pan]

whenever people call canon pan characters like deadpool or wwdits vampires, bisexual... it infuriates me. even if they aren't intentionally doing this, but i feel like it just removes the existence of pansexuality (and other pan identities). whenever a character is hinted to have an attraction to more than one gender... it just seems like bisexuality is the default label they go to. i mean wb demi people or omni people :(

sorry for taking so long to respond, but yeah, i feel ya. it's super frustrating that we're still dealing with kind of erasure, even from within the community. the immediate assumption of bisexuality for any character (or person, for that matter) who isn't gay or straight is no different or less problematic than the immediate assumption that anyone who isn't straight is gay. it's just enforcing a trinary instead of a binary.

[isabelawritesthings]

Even though I think Mortal Kombat gives little attention to its canonically LGBTQ characters, I'm glad my girl Tanya is still bisexual as seen in her relationship with Mileena in our timeline and her relationship with Rain from titan havik timeline. Unlike Mileena, who in her dialogues with Johnny Cage and Omni-man implies that in this timeline she is a lesbian.

God is hard, but bi erasure is harder.

[yourfancyclamwithdapoileinside]

Me: I don’t like it when people take a character that’s canonically interested in the opposite gender and headcanons them as gay. It’s bi/pan/omni erasure.

Also me: Sarah Jacobs doesn’t count.

It says Bi on one of the options

accidental omnisexual erasure...

I copied it from my bisexual template but forgot to change that option. Atleast it's not the top option I made a mistake on this time;;

[the-nya-anon]

Is this thing on?

Yeah, I think it is.

Cool.

Wow, colours! This is so roleplaycore.

I'm Turtle! I'm not normally here but while I am I strive to be as annoying, cryptic, and potentially mentally scarring as possible!

[biwrites]

This is me yapping about things that aren’t that serious again BUT

I’m begging the queer community to stop using Sapphic and Lesbian interchangeably.

I don’t mean for someone’s personal identity, if that’s how you define your lesbianism, then hell yeah! Go wild you funky lesbian!

BUT I DID just see a submission call for a “sapphic zine project” that specified that they wanted people who wrote about Sapphic experiences, and then later specified that they specifically ONLY wanted submissions from Lesbians.

…

Then it’s not a sapphic zine then is it? There are a TON of Sapphics who aren’t Lesbians! There’s Bi sapphics, Pan sapphics, Omni, Poly and other multisexual sapphics! Ace and Aro sapphics, AroAce sapphics!

It sort of throws me back to the days where people were arguing that mspec Sapphics couldn’t use the word “Sapphic” (despite that literally being the purpose of the word).

Anyways, my point here is that I feel like there’s still an issue of bi/pan/mspec erasure within the community, as well as outside(but we’re talking about intra-community issues here), and sometimes it can be perpetuated by simply assuming monosexuality as the default within queer spaces and projects. When words like sapphic exist specifically to be inclusive, it can be a little extra gut punch to see them used exclusively.

Be kind to each other y’all, and be mindful of others and their experiences.

[bilesproblems]

now we will translate the dumbest thing we heard from russian-speaking exclusionists (twitter is doing incredible things to them.)

"hi this is the explanation for labels like mspec mono.

what is this anyway?

mspec-mono labels are labels of orientations based on the split attraction model, which assume that a person experiences one type of attraction to several genders and another to one.

examples:

• biromantic lesbians (bi-lesbians);

• panqueerplatonic gay men (pan-gay);

• omnisexual heteroromantic (omni-straight).

what's the problem?

wow, there are a lot of problems here. Let's look at the problem of definition point by point:

• appropriation of the split attraction model (aphobia)

• erasure of lesbian experience

• erasing the experience of mspec people

• erasure of gay experience"

/quote. we laughed a few times while we read it. there is an argument like “well......... lesbianism never included men and returning to the old meaning will harm lesbians, mspecs and gays". what a bullshit.

Not only do they misunderstand the labels (not all are SAM users) but also how is it erasing gay/lesbian and mspec experiences to experience both? It doesn't work that way.

Also, it's important to say that we're not going to return the whole lesbian label to it's original meaning. Some INDIVIDUALS want to reclaim it.

[posi-pan]

I saw a Facebook page for bisexuals that said bi is regardless of gender. I thought, ok, cool, I agree. It seemed like a regular bisexual page but when someone asked in the comments what the difference between bi and pan was (on a post responding to if pansexuals are allowed to follow the page and stating they can but it’s first and foremost a bi space), the owner of the page posted a link to an article addressing myths about bisexuality instead. I didn’t even bother to read the article. Idk if I’m over thinking this but to me it just felt like a dismissal of other mspec identities like pan, omni, ply, etc. and dare I say it, erasure even. This page thinks there’s no difference between bi and pan, which is fine to have personal opinions, but for a lot of people there is a difference and it’s important and meaningful to them, something the page did not acknowledge. I’m sick of bisexuals invalidating our identities. We exist, and we are valid. I’m sick of seeing panphobia, omniphobia, etc from bisexuals who should be standing in unison with us. We are part of the mspec community and we need to bring each other up, not down. And this includes mspec minorities.

see for me, defining bisexuality broadly as regardless of gender is the first red flag. because while some bisexuals use that definition, it has never been the general, community definition. then add to that saying pan people can follow but it's a bi page first and linking an article about bisexual myths when someone asked the difference......i'd give that page a hard pass if i were you.

i'm sure the people running that page think bi is an umbrella term that pan is included in, so it's interesting that they say the page is first and foremost a bi page. pan people (and omni and ply and all other non-bi mspec folks) are stuck in this in-between place where we're constantly told bi includes us but bi spaces/events/etc. aren't for us.

but yeah, you're right. panphobia, omniphobia, plyphobia, etc. from bi folks is super frustrating and disheartening. especially because of how it's never addressed or called out by anyone but us. it's never taken seriously. and when we address it, we're accused of being the bad guys, of talking over people, of making everything about ourselves. we're the most invisible people in the mspec community, so it's hard to get people to listen to us.

folks need to do better and stop trying to make the queer community about exclusive little groups with their "you can't sit with us" mindset. because who does that help? who is benefiting from that?

Zamasu's glog #2: Regenesis

°I think i should share a story of who i am and how i survived... Well... complicated.

I was once an ambitious kai on two different worlds splitten by time interference, chosen to be one above all of 10th. But witnessing eons of mortal violence and them refusing to be better haunted me. Yet there was always hope that their mistakes can be fixed... Until i met Goku. Mortal, that reached world of gods and defeated me, a deity, one of strongest for kai! A mere mortal shown that even gods are not out of their reach from violence and death!

I conjured up grand plan, Project Zero Mortals! And started my conquest by killing every single god that could oppose me, and every single mortal i met. Purge in name of purification, so world is cleansed from evil gods created and let out of control.

But... i been pushed, slained by mortals, only to be erased by the omni king...

I thought my story ended that moment... When last living being took its last breath until entire world perished alongside me...

But...

Until recently.

I found myself regained my fused self on a stranded planet of the Core world, not knowing what happened. Once after resurrection, i looked for answers. And apparently, there are now two omni kings, one being from timeline that erased me. They set up a Tournament of Power and the winning mortal would have get a wish from the Divine Wish Orbs. And he wished... to bring back all erased universes.

Apparently, due to one of Zenos being one that erased me, wish as well counted in myself, hence why i found myself in this timeline.

Former me from here was hakaid and, considering gentle act of mortal that asked peace instead of selfish wish, i may have to put Project Zero Mortals on a halt. Well... Until i figure out how to get rid of two omni kings.

But till then, i guess i will wander and, perhaps, learn about mortals more. They sure have wonders i can only witness up close.°

(Zamasu may not count as erased universe, but wish also brought back Frost, who was erased outside of universe erasure separately. If dragon counted that, so why not. Been recent enough)

[rosavulpes]

With her amber eyes transfixed to the ceiling , feline ears remained perked as they honed in on the sounds of the unrelenting rain against her window . She’d been unable to fall asleep for sometime now . 

Ebony tail reflecting her state of mind as it moved about of it’s own accord . Refusing to remain still if even for a moment . 

Her time thus far spent simply waiting in the darkness of her bedroom , waiting for exhaustion itself to finally overtake her and force her mind into subconsciousness so she could rest properly . 

Normally ? The sounds of such a storm would have had her sleeping soundly throughout the night , and perhaps even well into the morning as well . The sounds of the rain droplets tapping against the glass were soothing , easily allowing for the imagination to wander to different places , and times in which she felt most at peace . Whether that be imagining herself reading , cooking , or even enjoying the weather itself by going for walks outside . 

However , on this night the rain would offer her no such desired relief . 

The echoing sounds of thunder booming instead leading her mind to darker places , memories she’d rather let slip by . 

Rising slowly from her sheets , the half breed saiyan girl was careful not to move too quickly as her feet touched the floor . Bandages still covered certain portions of her body in which her blood had been spilled , and the point had already been stressed to her enough that moving too quickly , either before she was ready to do so , or before her wounds had fully healed could cause them to reopen . 

Slipping into her shoes , and moving to leave the room altogether . She could imagine , no she knew , that she was not the only person feeling restless on this night .... and , whatever pain she was feeling right now ? Could in no way ever be compared to his . 

Family , that she might have never had the chance to meet had he not been courageous enough , daring enough , hopeful enough to defy his destiny in the face of despair . Family that had dared to commit a sin that even the Gods could not ignore . Crossing from one timeline to the other with the hope of saving it . Preventing the same tragedies that had transpired in one era , from occurring in the other ... and he’d succeeded . 

It was funny ... even though the angels were said to serve the gods . Here had come another one into her life . Saving others without a staff , or a halo ... but with a sword , and a dream . 

Yet , despite all that Trunks had done for them ... when it was his hour of need , when he needed their help the most ? They’d failed him . A fact that made Blake bristle internally . She couldn’t find the words to apologize to him , or even empathize with his loss . How could she ? 

As a result of the Omni King’s decision to erase the devilish god known as Zamasu from existence , the Universe that he’d defiled with his dark presence was erased with him as well . Only Trunks , and his companion Mai had been spared erasure . Just barely escaping from the almighty power alongside them with them thanks to Bulma’s quick thinking . 

An offer had been made ... to transport him to yet another timeline in which such an event had not occurred thanks to Whis alerting the Beerus of that timeline of Zamasu’s intentions well in advance . However , such an offer felt empty . For even though Bulma was his mother , and Vegeta their father regardless of what period of time he traveled to that did not change the fact that they weren’t really his . The same would hold true had he accepted the angel’s offer .

So for now , all that remained for Trunks was to reflect , and mourn . 

Passing by his room , and resting herself against the door frame . She could feel his ki , feel his emotions as she was certain he could with hers . 

Blake hadn’t feared their enemy once during their time fighting him together . She’d met their enemy head on , and with the same resolve Trunks himself had . But this ? The fear of her failure ? Left her cold .   

“ ... I’ll be right here if you need me .... “ 

Lingering for a bit longer , she’d soon slowly make her way towards one of the many balconies that encircled the Brief’s manor . Getting a bit wet as she stepped out into the rain , and sat herself underneath the cover of a table patio umbrella . Eyes staring out blankly at the shimmering city lights around her . Her eyes starting to burn ...

"Tell me, how does it feel to pass the Omni Kings' test? Did you put any thought behind it, or did you think that it'd be funny to undo those erasures only minutes after they happened?"
