#stumbling upon biphobic shit in bg3 fandom almost on a daily basis doesn't help things

[mourn-and-watch]

idk it's just really sad that participating in a fandom with a whole bi/pan cast of main characters has become completely unbearable to me as a bi person because of how normalized biphobia is. i still enjoy the game and its characters but whenever i read another playersexuality discourse with a whole lot of mental gymnastics and homo/lesbophobia accusations because someone dared to point out that these characters are canonically bi/pan and it's kinda insensitive to erase that i feel so exhausted and burnt out. somehow i never felt excluded or mad because there was no bi representation in cyberpunk2077 and never had a dire need of putting a bi flag over a pic of lesbian or gay character. i know there probably still are bi people who do that and there are these disgusting "bi mods" for homosexual characters but they always get immediately called out on their bullshit and rightfully so but somehow when the same thing happens to bi representation we're entering a gray zone of "well but their sexuality isn't defined" and "don't police other people's headcanons". this was infuriating at first but at this point i'm just tired of not being allowed to have shit because me having shit somehow ruines someone else's fun and their fun is more important than mine because bi people killed their grandma and forced larian to make Explicitly Gay/Lesbian-Coded Characters into these crowd-pleasing playersexuals or something
