i'm a lesbian, and rping a lesbian as bi is actually... very bad. and i'm not attacking you, but it is something that's very hurtful toward us and something that's extremely offensive.
I understand that, I do. But I just mean.. that roleplaying straight character as bisexual is never considered bad, so why should the other way be different? (And note how important the word ‘roleplaying’ in this sentence is.) Don’t get me wrong, because I understand this more than you probably think I do, but.. some straight characters are just straight, but people force them to be bisexual and no one ever argues, they just ship straight people with people the same sex, and it’s fine, I do that, too. I adore f/f and m/m ships. But shipping (just shipping, my imagination, in my head, with my fangirl ways of showing it) a lesbian with a man, because she’s a lesbian, makes me offensive? Then so should shipping a straight character with a character the same sex. I am sorry if you feel like that.. I am not forcing anything on anyone. Whenever I ship a ship that I know will never happen, because of their sexuality, I call it an AU and I don’t expect anything more from it. I wouldn’t try to make it happen, because it would change the entire reality, but you can’t stop me from imagine them in a AU word where there could be a chance for them, right?
I am aware that Lexa is lesbian in the show and I am convinced that she has never, ever felt anything for a man - let me be clear on this. And I also have never tried to convince someone otherwise, never. But I guess, I just want to try and explore new sides of her. Which is why I think that putting her in AU situations like this might be considered fine, because it’s not something I’m trying to change in canon. You might just say my Lexa is a bit more AU than the others, and that’s fine. I’m sorry if you feel offended by this, it was not my intention.
I have all the love towards gay people, I mean no disrespect to them or anyone. If it’s something that bothers you, you are welcome to unfollow me, I just hope you know that me playing Lexa bisexual doesn’t equal with me denying her true sexual identity, because I am not, just simply giving her character, who I can roleplay (more or less, of course!) as I see it fit, more opportunities.
This is all for roleplay, nothing more. I would never, ever force a lesbian to be with a man, because I respect people’s choices too much and I’m sorry that you feel this way about this, really I am. It was the last thing I wanted this to cause.
