[Encanto, She-Ra, Korra, Arcane]

[(Anonymous)]

This was the best song hands down. Also poor Mirabel. Suffers from no powers and the worst song in the whole movie.

[(Anonymous)]

God, I loved this song and the dancing donkeys.

[(Anonymous)]

Can we please stop calling Korra a lesbian? Because she's not.

Signed,

a bi person who is sick and tired of bi erasure

[(Anonymous)]

Korra is not a real person who can decide what identity most adequately fits her. "Lesbian" is one possible identity that might fit the character depicted on-screen. I don't think it's bi erasure to use one possible identity label and not another in a situation where there's no specific correct canonical label.

[(Anonymous)]

This, so very much. It's not bi erasure if someone else sees her a as lesbian.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, yes it is when the character has canonically expressed sexual interest in men. Korra likes men and women, full stop.

What's the obsession with people insisting characters are lesbians anyway? A character in a lesbian relationship is a character in a lesbian relationship and is therefore WLW rep. A bi character dating a woman is just as much WLW rep as a lesbian character is.

[(Anonymous)]

DA. Then is it okay for people to headcanon lesbians as bi?

[(Anonymous)]

wasn't korra also into men though? because i thought there was a whole plot with her and what's-her-name both chasing after the same guy in the early seasons.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, she's bi. She was with dudes in the show too.

Please y'all stop pretending "just one label used to describe her" bullshit out the ass. If it was a lesbian character only ever with women, only ever expressing attraction to women, etc. and someone came along and called her something other than lesbian you'd be calling for riots. People only ever play this with bi characters. Curious.

Tired of this shit.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone who has dated or expressed interest in men can still be a lesbian.

[(Anonymous)]

I unironically love that you called Asami what's-her-name. What a boring waste of potential she was. Korra deserved a better final love interest (guy or girl).

[(Anonymous)]

OP here! I'm very sorry I recognize her as bi, I just didn't think too hard about it when I wrote this secret. But I definitely agree!

[(Anonymous)]

It is so lovely to see a FS pile on that doesn't involve me. Thank you for all jumping on the above anon, FS, it warms my heart to see you can be assholes to other people too. I approve of you all and your actions here.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a very weird comment. Way to try to make everything about you for some reason.

Maybe you should examine why you’re always getting “piled on”. You know what they say, if everyone’s an asshole, then you’re probably the asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

As much as bi-erasure is a thing, you sound like one of those people who gets mad when Willow called herself a lesbian despite having dated Oz.

[(Anonymous)]

apples and oranges. willow self-identified as a lesbian in canon, korra didn't.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

I wish we could all just be happy that two bisexual icons like Korra and Asami ended up together.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm late to the party but I want to say, it's hilarious people defend Korra as rep for literally anything LGBTQ because in the show her attraction to Asami was absolutely buried in subtext and not explicit at all, unlike her attraction to Mako. (And no, I don't ship Korra and Mako. I don't ship anyone from this show. I just don't think it's a very good show, guys.)

I also don't count interviews of the creators saying the ending was supposed to be gay either. LoK was a mess and so was their attempt at shoehorning Korrasami at the 11th hour. It was very "Dumbledore was gay the whole time actually." No thank you, I'll take some real representation instead please.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with everything you said, except for it being hilarious that people defend her as bi. It's not great rep the way it was written, but like it or not, it still had an impact on a lot of queer kids watching the show and on future rep in kids' TV. So yeah, I'll defend Korra as bi when people call her a lesbian, because she is bi, good show or not. Queer characters can exist on bad shows too.

[(Anonymous)]

Looks like this thread has definitely brought the homophobes in this community scampering out of the woodwork.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a bad take. Most of the people I see arguing are gay or bi.

[(Anonymous)]

You think bi people can't be homophobic? Have I got a bridge to sell you!

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t see bi people being homophobic in these comments. I do see a lot of queer people taking some very shitty “representation” too seriously from a badly-written show created by straight cis men.

[(Anonymous)]

It's hardly homophobic for bi people to say "hey can you let us have our canon bi characters?"
