F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

"talking about how oppressed they are because they're bisexual (even though they have only ever dated men and are only interested in men)"

I have met sooo many internet bisexuals/pansexuals it's not even funny anymore. I'm not trying to tell people how to live their sexuality, but I always get suspicious when I get to know a person (oftentimes a woman), who constantly blogs about hot guys, only writes slash and het and apparently only ever has boyfriends and never girlfriends - and at the same time needs to mention in every second post that she's, "like, sooo bi, and you can't bring me down you evil heteros!"

my guess is that a lot of them think "I'm not grossed out when I imagine making out with a girl" = "I am sexually attracted to girls"

being tolerant of gayness does not make you gay and it does not give you the "right" (?) to come out to your mom as like "hi I only date men and I'm in a relationship with a boy right now but in some theoretical world I can picture myself making out with Gina Torres so IN YOUR FACE MOM HOW DARE YOU OPPRESS ME WITH YOUR GENDER POLITICS" and the mom is like "ok honey that's nice"

Well, on the one hand, you're right, but this kind of attitude towards 'internet bisexuals' can end up causing problems for people who are still discovering their sexuality but are made to feel like, without a long history of actual homosexual relationships/activity and genuine oppression, they don't have the right to call themselves bi.

Basically, I think it's more important that people feel free to call themselves bisexual/pansexual without being attacked as "impostors" than that ONLY "true" bisexuals EVER call themselves that.
