I am the same way, but the reason I want representation is so I can point at this character and say: Look it is a bisexual character that isn't defined by her sexuality, nor does she end up cheating on her partners or is oversexualized or my personal favourite: Crazy serial killer.

It would be nice to have people who aren't white, male/female and straight covering most of the characters we see in media, but on a personal level I don't care. I identify with traits over looks or sexuality*, but it is important to have people who look like you and have the same history as you on television. Also on a higher level, what you see on television in particular is how you form an image on how the world is, which means that if there are mostly white men in their thirties there you learn that, that is how the world is supposed to be.

And as a foster child I know how much media has fucked up the perception of that group of people, so watching Leverage and seeing Parker and Alec both having grown up in the system and ending up not evil (but criminals). Seeing people with fucked up parents in Shameless going on to study at a University and managing, it is all nice, because *my* story gets told too, and even if personaly I might not need it, people needs to see it, other people who share my history might benefit from seeing their experiences mirrored on a television show or in a film.

*It also helps to have a mindset of bisexual until proven otherwise.

also sorry I kinda went on a rant there, but I am late commenting and I always like hearing your take on subjects.

Nah, I get that. I personally LIKE kick-ass female characters, but i don't NEED them to enjoy a show.
