would love if this show actually featured an out bi character instead of this high and mighty “you SHOULD be bi!” BS like hm. i WONDER who could make something like that happen????
Eleanor regularly remarks on the attractiveness of women around her and we’ve seen that she ended up with Tahani in some of the simulations so… do you need her to carry a tri-color flag or wear a rainbow colored t-shirt?
all of her references to being attracted to women get played as jokes and she ends up as tahani’s “soulmate” in a literal simulation designed to torture the four of them and even that you don’t see past tahani entering the room. that is piss poor bi representation.
i don’t need “her” to do anything, she is a fictional character. i need the literal showrunners to stop pulling cutesy shit like this line where they get points for being Progressive without actually showing any good bi representation (or any LGBT rep, for that matter)
she also ends up being chidis soulmate in the same similulation so i’m not seeing your issue with that
it’s a comedy. everything is treated like a joke. the difference in it being a joke where bi people are the butt of it and a joke where we’re in on it is something this show does well and i’m sorry you’ve been so burned by shows that you have to take it out on a good show.
there are a ton of serious, sweet moments in this show so the fact that all the references to eleanor being attracted to women are pulled for laffs should tell you something. i have laughed! i have found those tiny moments to be relatable and funny! that doesn’t make her a #bicon and it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of praising the showrunners for being soooo pro LGBT when they’re really just sprinkling bisexuality in (mostly dialog and not even visually) to cash in on a cultural moment without including it meaningfully
get over yourself. you don’t have to feel sorry for someone on the internet who sees a tv show differently than you do lmfao. the show will be fine regardless of me pointing out that it doesn’t have good lgbt representation.
”get over yourself”
actually, that’s something you should be telling yourself.
proper rep is important, but to yell about it on an a post that has nothing to do with activism is shitty and needless. on top of that, you’re yelling at other bis that love her
get over yourself and if you hate the show, don’t fucking watch it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
