Re: What kind of romances do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

It just seems like, while it's true that the way that we talk about queer identity and existing as part of a queer community are often more simplistic than the reality, this particular version of that is an extreme edge case. Which isn't bad in and of itself! It's just a little surprising, especially when it aligns with a trope (Only Gay For You) that's got a checkered history of usage in fiction.

yeah that's why i specifically mentioned that it's not due to a homophobia thing - which is the issue with the Special Exception trope - and the character is fine being perceived as queer socially and open about being in a queer relationship, but feeling it's wrong to label them as sexually bi or gay since they only experience attraction to opposite gender aside from one person

Sure, but how can you be socially straight when your relationship makes you be percieved as gay?

that's why i said "and the character is fine being perceived as queer socially and open about being in a queer relationship, but feeling it's wrong to label them as sexually bi or gay since they only experience attraction to opposite gender aside from one person"

But does a straight identity even matter at that point?

Re: What kind of romances do you want to see more of?

[(Anonymous)]

it wouldn't to you, but i could conceivably see it mattering to some characters. especially if being labeled as bi or gay feels fake or inaccurate to them, or is giving people the wrong impression, or making people express surprise all the time when they express attraction to solely opposite-gender people...

just saying the complexities are never really discussed, stories tend to have everyone settle into a queer personal identity - and have a straightforward happy ending
