Reminder for Pride Month: Shatterstar, that joke one-off character from Deadpool 2, is an aromantic pansexual. He and his partner Rictor shared the first in-panel same-sex kiss in Marvel history.

Shatterstar is canonically in love with Rictor so you can keep the aro part out of this, thank you

sina grace defended the decision to keep iceman gay instead of bi because of bendis’ word-of-the-author but then gave rictor as an example of a bi character in the marvel universe? even though peter david’s word-of-the-author was that rictor was gay and definitely not bi for exactly the same arguments that bendis used years later for iceman??? i can’t even parse the emotions i’m feeling right now because the main reason i was mad that iceman wasn’t bi was because it felt exactly like what they’d done with rictor

but apparently an official marvel writer and whatever editorial oversight there is for the letter column have forgotten rictor’s canon sexual orientation and assumed that he was bi because he’s had relationships with both men and women?? which is literally the reason people want iceman to be bi???

but ALSO also now i have an x-men writer’s word that rictor is bi so maybe i should just take that to the bank

This writer clearly knew absolutely nothing of Rictor, or intentionally ignored it. Made him flirt with the mentor he had as a child, called 'Star "quiet stoic type" and made Ric say it's the kind of guy he needs, decided he was bi (when he was written as historically closeted) and all of this in order to defend the portrayal they were cashing on and make it appear unprecedented. The "breakup" was random and specifically made so Bobby could have this type of failed flirt with another lgbt mutant character and there weren't many to use.

American communists are now going through Venezuelan blogs to either explain them what actual social/communism is or attack them for “spreading bullshit false information” and I don’t think I have ever wished death harder upon a group of people in a long time.
