Re: Het Erasure?

Almost any concept you can dream up can be real, but the problem, like most fandom terms, is context.

Yes, if you take over a show / comic / series of any kind, and decide to turn literally every previously established heterosexual Gay or bi with no justification other than "I'm writing this now, and this is the right way to write these characters", then you have just committed something that could be called Het erasure.

However, if you take over a show / comic / series of any kind, and decide to turn some previously established heterosexual Gay or bi with no justification other than "I'm writing this now, and this is the right way to write these characters", then you are probably not committing Het erasure.

The problem with people on both side of the SJW divide is that they see a buzzword and apply it willy-nilly with no thoughts of the actual context.

I agree. Gay and bi characters are usually tokens and exceptions. So writing Colossus gay in the Ultimate universe means we have a gay man on a team that also includes straight people. Writing Mystique straight in First Class means that version of the X-Men has no explicitly gay or bi characters.
