that's my experience with fandom in general tbh. everything is either gay or straight. even if a character had a het relationship in canon then were either experimenting and actually gay, or straight.

this might just be me, but i always feel like bi is just not queer enough for fandom. like declaring a character bi is a cop-out when you want to get brownie points for stanning queer representation.

Bi isn't queer enough for the queer community in general, though. Or at least it wasn't the last time I made an attempt at being part of said community.

i haven't really tried to be part, so i can't speak on that.

THIS. You're either passing, or you're just boring/lying because you 'picked' the opposite rather than same sex for your long-term or even short-term 'ship.

I dunno wtf people want with bi people (me) at all.

that's my experience with fandom in general tbh. everything is either gay or straight.

I feel like this is a very YMMV thing.

The main slash fandom I've been in is BBC Sherlock, and while Sherlock tends to be characterized as gay, John (even before Mary was introduced) has always been far more often characterized as bi. I also spent a while in the Suits fandom, and while Mike tended to be characterized as gay, Harvey was far more often characterized as bi.

could be, my most recent fandom is overwatch and bi people do not exist in that universe, except sometimes to handwave how widowtracer makes sense

I definitely feel like it depends on the fandom, I've been in some where bi headcanons for characters are completely rejected, it's 100% gay or gtfo. And others where there's a bi headcanon for a character that's widely accepted(MCU Steve Rogers for example).

And at least in the case of my fandoms with actual bi characters in the canon most people in the fandom respect that and don't try to make them 100% gay(exceptions exist ofc).

No love is as pure as gay love, didn't you know?

Me, too. I can't tell you how many times in my fandom the OTP character's ex-wife is pawned off as a "beard"; he's really gay gay gay and this is the first time he's ever been in love, too, btw.
