And do you think everyone who's arguing that Korra could totally be a lesbian is being rational and kind in all of their responses?

That thread and this one got heated, for sure. I don't think anyone denies that--it's very clearly still a hot topic--but it also absolutely wasn't One Side Being Logical and Reasonable and the Other Side Being All Kinds of Awful. The Gold Star argument, for example, I found to be inflammatory as hell because it put accusations and assumptions into the mouths of the other side.

Basically, you have your reading of the thread and I had mine. People were shit all around.

it also absolutely wasn't One Side Being Logical and Reasonable and the Other Side Being All Kinds of Awful

Absolutely, people were being irrational and angry on both sides, it was a shitshow everywhere, it was very stupid wank. I have no problem admitting that. But... surely this same point also has to apply to the people who initially said the thread was just people kindly and gently correcting anyone who thought that Korra wasn't bisexual?

I'm fine leaving it in the past and I'm fine admitting that it got way too heated on all sides. I do think it's shitty to go around bringing it up months later as an example of F!S being bigoted and biphobic with no further context. Which is how it was presented and characterized ITT.

It was presented as an example of bigotry and the OP being "dogpiled". The biphobia/homophobia was brought up after as explanation, But yes.

Uh, no. It was presented as an example of people here cryng "bigotry!!!!" over something that wasn't, in answer to people specifically asking. So, no, it isn't quite the way you are presenting the story.

People wanted examples of someone crying "bigotry!!" over something that wasn't, and the person being asked provided this as one. Others chimed in on how it totally wasn't, and we were off.

No, it was brought up as an example of people crying "bigotry!!!" over something that actually wasn't bigotry, in answer to people specifically asking for examples. Don't put words in other people's mouths, please.

So were the bi-erasure accusations. Those were also inflammatory as hell, and they started from the very first reply to that secret.
