Sometimes you wonder how far Very Online discourse can go before it becomes total gibberish; a melange of au courant buzzwords & misapplied theory so inscrutable it turns into utter raving lunacy, so untethered to any reality not even people on the same "side" can process it

Then you see someone on Twitter having a prolonged fight about how "bisexuals are the Israel of sexualities" and you're like. That's it. That's the edge

hi! loving your art. I was watching your awesome stories/gifs and I was wondering: how did Chang develop his feelings for Tintin? Did he discover them before or after him? How did he react and why? (English is not my first language so if you see a grammatical mistake, I'm sorry. Also, sorry if so many questions made you feel like you were in a philosophy exam)

Thank you so much! As a contrast to the rest of the Marlinspike team I'm writing Chang as someone who makes friends and develops crushes pretty easily!

I imagine he's had a crush on Tintin for some time, possibly from when they first met. He's been at the mercy of his circumstances for most of his life until that point - Tintin basically makes him feel capable of doing stuff.

He's pretty heartbroken after the Blue Lotus. Tintin doesn't contact him for years. Chang is struggling to adjust to his new family and is failing at school, having missed out on a good education for a few years prior. Until Tibet he feels pretty hopeless, he will never live up to the time when he took down a drug ring.

His near death experience in Tibet shakes him out of this rut. He starts to travel and take up hobbies like dance and photography. Didi trains him in some basic martial arts. Tintin makes an effort to actually stay in touch this time. Chang has some abandonment issues as he's frequently lost people throughout his life, so he's someone who's willing to give people second chances, even if they've hurt him badly. Chang thinks he's well over his crush on Tintin when he comes around to Belgium for his studies, but falls for him again very quickly!

Unlike Tintin, Chang is a lot more comfortable with who he is. He's used to being the odd one out and has generally low expectations for himself, so just goes with the flow.

Below I talk a little with how I'm going about writing him and the historical context surrounding this, cw for mentions of racism (sinophobia) and queerphobia:

I'm writing Chang as bi, I thought it would be interesting to explore as Asian men were perceived differently in the 30s compared to today. While Asian men in the West are currently heavily desexualised in the early 20th century they were stereotyped as predatory and deviant. In London a lot of Chinese immigrants were male dockworkers, so when they married white women there was a lot of fearmongering about predatory and disloyal Chinese men.

A lot of depictions of Asian men in Western media reflected these stereotypes (and often used queercoding to push the idea of Asian men being animalistic seducers - General Henry Chang in Shanghai Express (1932) was written to be bisexual while posing as a threat to the white leads). Some examples off the top of my head include Hishuru Tori from The Cheat (1915) and The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932). Novels frequently depicted Chinese drug lords with borderline supernatural powers in manipulation.

On the other hand I've noticed how fans frequently depict Chang as someone who's submissive, demure and soft, which ignores how ridiculously brave and proactive he is in canon (stealing documents from police officers, charging into a man immediately after getting shot at by a machine gun, I could go on!). It's a common example of Fandom Racism (not accusing anyone specifically, it's just a trend I've noticed.)

When writing Chang I'm kinda reckoning with two different eras. From a contemporary angle I'm writing him as a love interest, which as an Asian guy I rarely see in media today. I also gotta consider his own time and context, how he would navigate being a queer Chinese guy, and how that would affect his relationship with others and himself.

Ok listen to me here. If there was a character in a show. Fuck, if there was a guy in real life. Who just. Really liked cowgirls. His first fictional crush was a cowgirl. He had a poster of a cowgirl on his wall. He loved cowgirls. But he never dated one. Perhaps married a city girl woman who made him incredibly happy, and he made her incredibly happy. But it was obvious. That he had liked cowgirls. Not that he was cheating on his wife, not that he was going to leave her for a cowgirl, but just that like. That was an obvious interest of his, his friends even called him Cowgirl Loving Steve. Now hear me out. Suddenly Steve is being told or reading posts that it doesn’t count. That he never dated a cowgirl, he has no way to know. That nobody believes him. That they don’t even want him to go to any rodeos anymore, or if he does, he needs to leave his city girl wife at home. In fact, he’s not even part of the rodeo community anymore. His crushes on cowgirls were probably just him lying.

That is the shit that ppl say about bi girls with bf’s who love girls. And you have no idea how easy it is for us to internalize that bs.

eddie dating a woman doesn’t mean hes not gay. eddie dating a woman doesn’t mean hes not bi. eddie dating a woman doesn’t mean hes not queer.

"biphobia isn't real. bisexuals want to be oppressed so bad,"

viewing and measuring oppression and abuse in the same regard as people view sexual violence (i.e. believing that the biggest most imminent threat of experiencing violence is a hate-crime is by a stranger) is truly so ironic. bisexuals statistically experience the most intimate partner violence of any group, specifically bisexual women.

abusive behavior and hate-crimes of that nature frequently come at the hands of people closest and most familiar to us. its disingenuous to use visibility as the only measure or metric for what groups experience what violence. bisexuals across the board experience higher rates of substance abuse, of ipv because of harmful biphobic stereotypes (from both men AND women!!!) etc because of the minority stress models and its been like that for the last 10+ years. im getting so sick of this entire conversation it genuinely drives me insane

Hi I just saw another really dumb Hazbin take. Like even dumber than the “I must inflict my headcanon upon all of canon,” one.

It’s below the cut because I fear people may lose braincells reading it. Heed the cw tags.

Someone said that Cherri, Pen, and Viv, herself, are clearly straight because they’ve only (to this person’s knowledge) publically shown interest in the opposite gender.

Yup. They’re out here gatekeeping bisexuality in both the cartoons and the irl human person creating them now.

I genuinely cannot tell if this was a bait account or not because this is the both the kind of wild take that I have come to expect from antis and a very common biphobic sentiment.

Like, first of all, Cherri’s on screen for like less than an hour in total. Second of all, Viv does not owe you a list of all the people she’s been attracted to??? Nobody does???

Hi, welcome to the LGBT community. Oh, you’re bisexual? You’re gonna need to fill out forms 15A through 44C. I’ll also need a list of at least 3 men and 3 women you’ve had romantic and sexual relationships with, with pictures and contact info. If it skews too far in either direction, you need to consider that you’re a big faker attention seeker and actually just straight/gay. Also, if you’re monogamous and/or focus your attention on one person of either binary gender, you’ve made your choice and are no longer bisexual, if you ever were to begin with.

maybe a niche complaint but as a bi woman who's been in the kin community for far too long i am so fucking tired of having my canon love interests come up to me completely unprompted and tell me they were gay and that they didn't love me. like i know. like i already know you had a yaoi romance with the other conventionally attractive guy and that i was your #single braincell mom friend bestie. while of course i respect their canons and want them to have the space to express it, i'd also like to be able to express my own love for the people i cared about without being constantly relegated to "Girl Best Friend." it's just tiring.

i want my blog to stay as discourse-free as possible but i do think that portraying nami as “a lesbian who’s mean bc she doesn’t like men” in fics and memes has the same energy as horikoshi portraying toga as “the predatory bisexual who always chases ochako” in his own manga, so… a lot of y’all need to avoid using those negative stereotypes towards sapphics

#i do love togachako but as a bisexual woman… i think her portrayal as a canon bi character isn’t… the best™ #i’d write an essay or article on that but midha fans are crazy if you say h***k**** is a bad mangaka (which he is) #nami is also a victim of that but from the lesbiphobic op fans #it’s pretty obvious that y’all have never met a sapphic in your lives and it shows #rant over #lesbiphobia cw #biphobia cw #ro speaks

the fact i could wake up and choose violence and absurdity and say shit like “umm actually all of you are just biphobic because you’re massively insecure and this is an extension of the embarrassing mentality that gets all canon (particularly women both if the Priority Ship is mlm or just Another Woman who can’t have other women breathing in the vicinity) love interests shanked and y’all are just so legitimately terrified and repulsed that bi characters have Twice the Competition for you because now you have to kill Literally Everyone bc everyone knows bi/pan/Not Gay or Straight people are sooooo much more likely to cheat with all that Temptation around ://” and i’d still be more correct than the shit i have to read here every day

#y’all are past parodying i’m sorry. #biphobia cw #i’d love to be like this is Specifically About the Fandom of the Moment but like. no. it’s always this #you can find posts circulating you’ll THINK will be about a recent post about a specific character or game + fandom biphobia #and it will be like.

I honestly don't give a shit if people think the term "bimisogyny" is problematic or whatever cause don't think I forgot how people treated bi women on here 2013-2015 don't think I forgot bi women constantly workshopping terms to describe their experiences and them constantly getting shut down for the most minor reasons available like you lost the benefit of the doubt when we reached "no you can't call it sapphobia because [bullshit reasons]." Like at some point it starts to feel like you just don't like admitting bi women have unique problems because you got dumped by a bi girl in high school and never got over it and you have to believe that bi women are all dick-worshipping sluts who are incapable of loving women because if you don't you have to confront the fact that she dumped you because of your personality.

I get it, bi women are all invariably funny and smart and hot, if I fumbled the bag I'd be mad too! But bi women in the public eye are being lined up for public harassment campaigns by the men in their lives, so like, maybe read the fucking room for once in your useless lives!
