Judging by the parts of the fandom I saw, neither Jack nor Ianto were bi, and how dare you suggest they were anything other than completely gay.

[(Anonymous)]

The wrong in this statement is acutely painful.

[(Anonymous)]

DA.

Got to disagree. The Torchwood fandom was really bi-phobic and loved inflicting the 100% gay or 100% straight labels on characters.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Canon was that everyone was bi. The fandom when I was in it didn't seem to like that or acknowledge that, though.

[(Anonymous)]

And here's me thinking it was the most sexual liberated fandom I had ever participated in. So many kink challenges. Omnisexual Jack leading his merry team into one sexcapade after another while protecting Cardiff, sort of.

How different experiences can vary.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

This was my experience of the fandom as well.

[digitalghosts]

Was only active in appreciation of such in various LJ comms so seen similar.

I do wonder if Rhys and Andy were also somehow not fully straight :P . No idea on specials cast but they were ... something else.

I did see few people insisting Jack was gay after the last installment but that was it.

[(Anonymous)]

I know I've seen Andy hooked up with men before. And there were a few pair the spare Rhys/Andy post Gwen type stories, though I couldn't suggest any titles off the cuff.

[virtual_lips]

Also my experience of the Fandom.

I mean people had their OTPs (mine being the one pictured), but that didn't mean that "we" didn't understand and acknowledge the completely canonical sexualities of the character or characters in those pairings. Reading and writing exclusively about your favored pairing doesn't make someone bi-phobic or mean they're erasing any given character's bi-status.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

Most of the fic I saw/read/wrote didn't dismiss the fact that Ianto loved Lisa, for example.

That was a great fandom for threesome fic, woot. Jack/Ianto/Gwen or /Tosh? Yes! Jack/Rhys? Why not?

[(Anonymous)]

...

That's just bizarre.

"You people and your labels," etc. etc.

...IKR?

[(Anonymous)]

Don't even get me started..

...I've barely even watched this series and even I know that's the entire pile driving point behind the entire character.

Some stupid stans inability to do anything other than deny the inherent narrative and character design and scripting...

I'm all for tinhatting if it's all fun and games, but when the fandom as a whole looks like that, it really robs me of the will to participate.

Sigh. Signed, Goldilocks anon looking for the perfect fandom.
