A while back, Neil Newbon confirmed on one of his streams that Astarion is Pansexual.
So this is why it bothers me seeing fandom say things like "Astarion just feels like a gay man!" and "I just can't picture Astarion with a woman" because like... Astarion is still a queer man. It's been outright confirmed by his voice actor. And his queerness and his attraction to men isn't diminished by the fact that he can also be romanced by female characters. Repeat after me: Pansexuality is an lgbt identity in it's own right and not just gay person lite.™
And I think an important aspect to Astarion's sexuality is the fact that the writers made his relationship with both men and women part of his backstory. It's a stark contrast to Dragon Age 2 back in 2011 where Ander's past relationship with Karl was completely omitted from his dialogue if he was romance by a female Hawke. The unfortunate implications here being that bioware didn't think their female player base would still wanna romance Anders if he had past relationship with men. That to make Anders palatable to a straight-girl audience, all traces of his bisexuality had to be erased.
Astarion's Pansexuality doesn't change depending of the player's gender. The language he uses for his past lovers is gender neutral, he'll still mention relationships with men regardless of who you are playing as.
There is no "Playersexual" about it. Astarion is Pansexual. And that matters.
Edit: I was just looking over the notes of this post after having it muted for months and it really reaffirmed my decision to mute it. Some of you are posting bad takes like you're in a bad take contest. Hope you recover from the trauma of having to acknowledge bisexuals and pansexuals. - Love my bisexual ass ❤️

Aspec people 🤝 bi people 🤝 pan people
Being told that they're not oppressed AND being told they don't exist

i need people to realize that mercy is basically CANONICALLY bi/pan. she isn’t straight and she isn’t a lesbian.
i’m tired of people excusing these headcanons because apparently since blizzard hasn’t confirmed it, it can’t be canon or at the very least implied.
she has CANONICAL attraction to both genji and pharah. a man and a woman. what does that mean? bi/pan.
blizzard doesn’t need to confirm it when the proof is right there in the pudding. in the literal game itself. IT IS CANON.
it’s bi/pan erasure to headcanon her as anything else. i really need people to realize that.

My sibling just said that pansexual is problematic cause "the label implies bisexuals are only attracted to people cause of their gender" (??) and "the label was made by sigmund freud to mean attraction to everything including animals and children" and "its transphobic because it implies bisexuals arent attracted to trans people" (????????)
Theyve also talked about how aplatonics arent lgbtq+, they said cishet aros who still date arent lgbtq+ because there are men who do that to take advantage of women (way to go for open mindedness by comparing aromantics to manipulators), and many other stuff
:(((

i had an exclusionist partner who was against pansexuality and because of that i felt pressured into identifying as bisexual. after that relationship ended i ran away from the bisexual label, calling myself anything but bi, but now that it's been over a year? i love my bisexuality just as much as i love my pansexuality and lesbianism. i love being both bisexual and pansexual. i love how whole it makes me feel. i love the solidarity between the two communities and the very large, colorful, bright overlap right in the middle. i love how diverse and accepting it is. i love my bisexuality and pansexuality, and i love my bi, pan, omni, poly and multi siblings.
I’m glad you got here

Things I learned about thefakersystem:
Has people send accounts to harass them (misgendering, ableism, the usual shitty stuff)
Hates pan and aspec people (says pan is biphobic and calls all aspec people are straight)
Hates science (the name explains it all)
Probably a "npd abuse" truther (hates pwnpd)
Just report the account (properly) so we can get this guy gone ^-^

For some fucking reason my for you page recommended me a post saying only lesbians can be butch or femme, which leads me to believe someone who follows me may be interacting with these type of posts. So friendly reminder if you bring this kind of biphobic shit around me, I will make you fucking regret it.

imagine calling people “pannies” as an insult, which is literally a variation of “trannies” which is a FUCKING SLUR against trans people, and then saying pansexual people are transphobic. like, maybe start working on not calling people something that’s literally a transphobic slur but with one letter changed before you call out other people for being transphobic!

what does BaB mean?
[TW panphobia, exclusionism of mspec identities]
.
"An M-Spec Exclusionist, also known as a Battleaxe Bisexual (BaB) or Band-Aid Bisexual (BanBi), is an exclusionist who believes that pansexuality, omnisexuality, polysexuality and other m-spec labels other than bisexual contribute to biphobia and transphobia. They also believe that all m-spec labels are the same as bisexual.
BaBs are against the usage of the "multisexual" label in of itself. This is because they believe that bisexuality is the only 'true' label, thus making the term m-spec 'redundant'.
The term Battleaxe Bisexual was coined by foxflightstudios on instagram, and they themselves were pro-pansexual, however, the term was reclaimed by exclusionists and is now an exclusionist term."

I saw something that made me deeply uncomfortable and I wanna make 1 thing crystal fucking clear. Panphobia of any kind is not tolerated. I'm angry because I saw a post regarding the bisexual manifesto that not only is OP proud of their panphobia, but half of the comments and reblogs were agreeing with that mindset. So it's time for me to educate you all.
Bisexuality and Pansexuality are interchangeable. The moment you are attracted to more than one gender, you are bisexual. You don't have to be attracted to all of them, but you are bisexual. And there are names for that spectrum of attraction, but you could be simultaneously both pan and bi. Or poly and bi.
Tumblr media
Here is a diagram from GLAAD regarding the bisexual umbrella. Never does it deny that any of the groups are bisexual.
And I know that some definitions of pansexuality infer that bisexuality is inherently transphobic which is false. But rather than informing people about that discrepancy, people have moved towards "Pansexuality is inherently biphobic" which is literally the worst take. I saw people state that the transphobic misinterpretation of bisexuality was caused by bad faith actors to split the community. So why continue that schism with panphobia???
I'm sorry that this may come off as rambling but I'm tired of seeing people spit on Pansexuality in the name of bisexuality. These are sister sexualities, if not parent and child. Pansexuality and Bisexuality are deeply intertwined and we need to start calling out panphobia that's moonlighting as actually good posts discussing biphobia/bisexuality.
