Re: Fandom/fic trends that annoy you

Wait, no, that still doesn't make sense. You weren't arguing that people who identify as bisexual are rare, you specifically said,

"If they have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex, or express interest in somebody of the opposite sex, statistically speaking they are very likely straight."

That is factually wrong. If 46% of men in the fifties had a same-sex experience, then it is actually FOLLOWING PROBABILITY to have half your male characters have at least one same-sex experience.

So what they identify as doesn't matter. It's their ACTIONS. Which is what fanfic is mostly writing about, unless characters are specifically stating their orientation.

Also, I have brought evidence to the table. Where is yours? Because right now, it feels like you're saying, "Bisexuals shouldn't exist much in fanfic because I say so," not out of any reason, logic, or evidence.

Well, in the case of characters in fics, I'm talking about them identifying as bi or gay, not just being a 2 on the scale. I genuinely don't want to get into the Kinsey scale study because this is besides the point of this debate, but given that most of the people in that study were interviewed on a volunteer basis, most of them being young, I would suggest that the results are highly skewed at best. As for my assertion that homosexuality and bisexuality are uncommon, I honestly can't believe you are asking for a source, because it's widely accepted fact, but okay? Go Google "how many people are gay or bi", and then click on the first 30 links that pop up. Every study shows anywhere from 3 to 9 percent of the population in the United States, with 9 being extremely generous, most are closer to 3-5%. People who identify as bisexual is always less than half of the percentage of people who identify as gay, usually around a third and sometimes around a fourth.

So what about that isn't rare?
