#im using bi as an umbrella term because i think i read somewhere that astarion is canonically pan which is sooo sexy of him

bi women can be masculine and prefer topping and still be bi! bi men can be flamboyant and still be bi! sexuality is not entirely dependent on how many gay stereotypes you fit, thought we'd got this sorted in 2010 but what the fuck do i know!

#sorry ive been heated abt this for weeks and now that ive seen other ppl talking abt it my feelings are comin out #its so fucking deranged to decide that the only women who are allowed to be masculine must be lesbians #and the only men allowed to be theatre kids must be gay #when like! if u actually SPOKE TO QUEER PEOPLE OFFLINE there are so many masc bi women out there! #there are so many flamboyant bi guys! #im using bi as an umbrella term because i think i read somewhere that astarion is canonically pan which is sooo sexy of him #but like. it's insane. it's insane to decide that a character who IS EXPLICITLY ATTRACTED TO MULTIPLE GENDERS. is actually gay #and if u say otherwise then ur a big mean violent homophobe #and of course if u did the opposite; took a character who is canonically attracted only to their 'same' gender and called them bi #EVEN AS A JOKE! #you would be murdered on the spot #but of course taking the characters who are canonically attracted to multiple genders and deciding that bi ppl no longer exist #because ah-hum this male character fits too many gay stereotypes! #is supposed to be fine
