However, I'd have an easier time believing you actually just want better gay representation if you didn't have anything to gain from it.

But I want to gain queer representation. Is it so selfish to want Stiles to be bi because he's a character I can really relate to? And I want a bi character I can relate to? Sorry Brittany from glee isn't cutting it, I don't know how anyone could relate to her. Her character is as deep as a puddle.

(there have been other characters I can relate to obviously but none that toss off ambiguous comments like Stiles does)

It's the opposite for me. I find Stiles to be an idiot. I don't relate to him at all, and don't even find him likable, but I wouldn't be offended if he was made to represent us. I'm more offended by how many canon bi or queer characters there are on tv already who aren't ficced by the heteronormatives because they're not 'hot.' If people are genuinely interested in our rights rather than their fap privilege, then they'd be supporting those characters more, but instead a lot of those characters are ignored while the focus (from mostly straight women, you know it's true) is on getting two straight dudes to hook up and be made canon. That's not about our rights, that's about BEING RIGHT, and looking for validation.
