I believe it is important to recognize what bi-erasure is and how it works. When people say that bisexuality is restrictive, binary, or uninclusive of people who are trans, nonbinary, genderfluid, etc that is bi-erasure. When our history is buried by bigotry, and bisexuals are told our definitions are no longer ours to use because "that's ____ sexuality now" that is bi-erasure. When bisexuals are pressured into identifying as something other than bisexual because they've been made to feel uncomfortable to use the word "bisexual" that is erasure and the only way we are going to stop it, is by standing up and raising our voices whenever bi-erasure happens. You are bisexual, and you are awesome! 💗💜💙
It’s wild how lesbians were immediately expected to change their flags more than once, yet we’re just supposed to “suck it up and let it go” when there is clear evidence that the pan flag creator is a raging lesbophobe.
This is yet another example of how lesbophobia within the LGBTQ community hardly ever gets taken seriously.
Hey y'all, sorry I'm late but I'm back with another one of these Helluva Boss opinion thingies-
Alright so the new episode, to be honest I enjoyed it more than the previous ones but I have to admit it still has its flaws. So let's discuss that.
So there's the whole Ozzie and Fizz being together, being all lovey-dovey. And honestly? It's the cutest shit I've ever seen. Stolas and Blitzo wish they could have that lmao
I also wanted to point out that I absolutely love the aesthetic of the Lust Ring (well mostly because it's purple and blue with neon pinks, which is different from the usual red that Viv is so obsessed with-). My only complaint however?
Is that the background should be slightly darker because characters like Ozzie blend a little too well with them. I mean, I can understand why the background is bright and all that, but Viv just loves to make her characters be barely noticeable in the shot-
Now, there's a few things I don't like about this episode, for starters, the pacing was absolute dogshit. Like, everything went by so fucking fast, I had to often pause the episode several times just to look at shit in the background or just the scene in general. It was a hard episode to digest, really.
Another thing I found stupid and unnecessary was the whole Ozzie signing contracts with Stolas- it was very out of place and like, it honestly felt like they just added that to pat the run time. Not only that but, why couldn't Ozzie just go to the Greed Ring and beat the crap out of Crimson and his goons for kidnapping Fizz? Like, I was legit expecting Ozzie to go in and do some crazy shit but he didn't- he just stood there, signing a bunch of papers and for what?? Fr that shit was anticlimactic.
Then there's the "accident" that caused Fizz to lose his limbs and horns. Honestly the scene was somewhat impactful for me but at the same time it went by too fast. And not only that, I hate that Blitzo admits that it was his fault, yet he makes everything about himself like- COULD YOU NOT DO THAT, YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT??? And you know what makes me even more mad about this scene? Is the fact that Blitzo had feelings for Fizz and was going to confess to him- WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? Istg can Viv stop making Blitzo being this uwu pathetic sad baby of an OC who fucks everything that breathes? (no wonder she made him canonically pansexual, it just shows-).
I also think it was stupid to make Fizz apologize to Blitzo- like, I don't care if what he did was an accident, that shit was fucked up. And it just seems so off that Fizz was all like "yeah you fucked me up and ruined my life but y'know what? I forgive you because plot reasons". I dunno man, it just doesn't sit well with me.
*Edit: I personally would've much preferred if Fizz didn't apologize to Blitzo, kinda like how his sister Barbie did. Where she just told him to fuck off and that she never wanted to see him again.
There's also the song that Fizz randomly sings at the end- it's terrible. I legit cringed the whole time while watching the entire scene. And finally uhh, Striker and Crimson working together was really stupid, it felt like a desperate attempt to make something look cool but it failed miserably.
everytime there’s a relationship in a piece of media where one is bi and one is ‘pan’ i’ll simply just headcanon that the bi character educates the other character about the inherent biphobia of mspec labels. though it would be nice if the creator of the media educated themselves in the first place, that’s not easy to ask for, so.
LMAO imagine calling me, a trans woman, a TERF! Fuck off cunt!
Pansexual is literally a paraphilia that was recoined in 2002 in order to erase bisexuality and our history because people have always hated bisexuals and wanted to paint all of us as transphobic. Which you would know if you actually knew you're history, which clearly you fucking don't. I mean you're literally using a term that literally means "attracted to animals" per Freud's creation of it. Why you would want to use a term created by him is BEYOND me especially when bisexuality literally means attraction regardless of gender, something that the lot of you STOLE! Pansexuality has no actually history in regards of LGBT history, all of it is stolen and rehashed bisexual history.
But sure keep using a term that is actively harming the bisexual (and trans) community. But don't be surprised when we keep calling you out for it.
"This lgbtqia+ microlabel discourse doesn't exist outside of online spaces!!!" Um, I don't tend to tell my social circles about my issues with ace/aro and mspec microlabels, mainly because I'd probably get isolated from lgbt+ spaces, which I want to contribute to and be able to find support in. But I do witness the trash thinking that online discourse has fostered so it's not entirely online now, is it?
