Stop misrepresenting things.

Misrepresenting? Last week right here on Fandom Secrets people defended the right to "headcanon" Korra, a canon bisexual, as a lesbian. Not only that, if you had an issue with calling her a lesbian, you were actually the exclusionist gatekeeper because lots of lesbians have dated men before so if you say dating both Mako and Asami validates the word of God that she's bi, you were implying that only gold star lesbians are real lesbians.

The argument you are talking about was not primarily about whether it was appropriate to headcanon a canon bisexual as a lesbian. The argument was primarily about whether or not Korra is canonically biseuxal. Describing the argument this way is not factually correct. It's a misrepresentation of what actually happened.

just face it that's what you did and it was pretty obnoxious

No.

Another DA

What’s “what they did”? What are you even talking about? This conversation was easy to follow along with until this comment.

i was rightfully assuming that they were one of the anons in that thread about korra

Re: DA

But you're still not right about what happened in the thread.

https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/2547574.html?thread=1079153014#cmt1079153014

You can look for yourself - there are 2 posts (out of 69 posts across 2 threads) saying that headcanoning Korra as a lesbian even though she's canonically bi is OK. And in one of those, it's a parenthetical aside to someone saying Korra isnt canonically bi.

(Also, there are in fact a lot of posts in that thread saying that Korra has dated men so she can't possibly be a lesbian)

There are zero comments saying she CAN'T POSSIBLY be gay because she dated a man. They're saying that because she did date him and the writers said she was bi, those are fair grounds for accepting that she is canonically bi and not whimsically relabeling her a lesbian without as much of a word of admitting it's just your alternate-textual-interpretation headcanon.

Stop rewriting history.

The people defending the right of other fans were not the ones trying to control what other fans are allowed to do, and thus far better fans and far less obnoxious than you.

You don't sound unbiased at all.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
They may be biased, but are they actually wrong?

(Maybe. Idk anymore.)

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know either, but they definitely come across as an asshole.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
Neither do you.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And other fans seeing Korra as lesbian is a problem for you why?

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
If people want to headcanon bi characters as gay, then it's only fair for other people to be able to headcanon gay characters as bi. You can't say one is allowed but the other isn't when they're fundamentally the same thing.

(Anonymous) 2022-02-05 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. It's fanfic. None of these characters are real, however much some people may identify with them. Let other fans play the way they want to, while you play the way you want to.
