Why creators just doesn't make every character Bissexual? Everyone just care about shipping, and by making everyone bi you makes every pair possible and validates a lot of good stuff.

Straight coulples are so boring, you can see this by the amount of gay fanfics and fanarts compared to straight works.

Hey, I found the guy who doesn't know what he is talking about!

Just look at the catalog.

Also, just check every male hero, and see if he isn't better with other male character. I challenge you.

Superman - Batman/Luthor
Batman - Superman/Dick/Joker
Hal - Sinestro/Flash
Booster Gold - Bllue Beetle

This is a fact ;)

Just give me a reason for why these pairings arent better than the canon vanilla.

Because depsite having the same flaws as real people, they can still outweight that by doing more good. In fact it's more admirable to do good when it's not the only option nor the most comfortable one.

For instance, courage is not having no fear, it's triumphinbg over your fear and doing what you have to do in spite of that obstacle.

>This entire thread.
Who gives a shit about sexuality? The first and foremost things a character needs are great characterization, room for development and a good writer to flesh them out.

Everything else relative to a character is secondary and not as important. Sexuality is one of those factors.

Let me spell it out for you in simple English OP.

A character can be Straight, Gay/Lesbain, or Bisexual - it doesn't matter.

But it should NEVER, EVER be the main fucking focus of the character!

> i.e. we'll make X character gay for the sake of media attention and support from the LGBT community.

So essentially, the opposite of pic related if you know the context of that and the comic it's from.
>>
>>79125043

>>
>>79129345
There are less redheads than homossexuals, and still, there are much more redheads than homossexuals on comics.

Also, this is a fictional world, where people can play with things bigger and more interesting than realitty, so its easy to have 25 or 30% of the heroes,villains and support characters as non binary or LGBTQ.

>>79128046
Its not onlt a matter of representation, it would add something for boring characters as Green Lantern, and bring new facets to other heroes, like the gaybaiting that they always do with Dick with everyone, or Superman and Batman. Its awful, just go for it, you know that its what we like.
>>
>>79129487
The red haired tone used in comics is not the "redhead ginger" usual. It's the hair tint one that a lot of women have.

That being said, redheads are a known attractive traits to straight males all around so one would understand why the editorials push redheads as a way to captivate their audience.

Making 30% of characters gay (one out of three would have to be gay) would only serve as temporal PR and would eventually flop sales since a lot of comics nowadays are still being sold to straight white males not hordes of homosexuals that don't even exist.

Also you are saying that homosexuality is a new facet? Really? New facets to heroes should come from character development not from who they decide to fuck. Good stories are made by good writing not from sexual allignment. Gay characters aren't interesting because they are gay they are interesting because you want to know more about them.


You are just whining you wish that a demographic should be over represented just because you want to fap to male on male action.

That isn't only a hypocritic thing to do, but also a discriminating one. Gay people aren't interesting because they are gay or because they are pushed into your face Borderlands style. They are interesting (when they are) because they are people with interesting traits other than homosexuality. But of course you wouldn't care about good writing or representation or characterization you just want to fap to fanfics and whine on tumblr about how there's no "accurate" 50% representation of all people on movies

They do if they're cape comics. That's why nothing significant is ever actually allowed to change. It's why 9/11 somehow still occurred despite there being so many fucking heroes that routinely stop planes from crashing into buildings. It's why super scientist philanthropists never cure cancer, all genetic diseases, and supply high grade prosthetics to all people who need them, or better yet let them regrow limbs.

You can have space aliens, immortal magicians, extradimensional gods, and guys in bat costumes jumping off rooftops, but there will still be war in the Middle East, there will still be people suffering from disease and hunger, and street gangs will still be a thing even if the Punisher kills more thugs and crime lords than China has people living in it.

You just dont got it.

By making them bi we would not remove ANYTHING from them, we aould ADD. Now the characters are open to way more interactions with each other than just the usual. You dont need to remove friendship or other relationships, you just have now the possibility of shipping Dick and Midnighter. You now has some validation to ship Bruce and Superman or Tim and Kon.

Seriously, it's hard supporting gay people's rights when they're so incredible self-serving all the time. OP's question is basically "why can't artists and writers spend more time getting my boner up instead?" That's what it boils down to.

Plus if everyone was gay than you're not a special, protected minority class anymore are you? You seem to want both, you seem to want to be the disenfranchised minority who's underrepresented and needs more characters like you... but you want EVERY character to be like you. So you're the majority now? Which one is it?

>>79125422

This.

Enough with the homo-projecting. Gay people want respect for their relationships but they don't seem to respect an ounce of respect for non-gay relationships.
>>
Lets end this.

1. No one wants to see gays in comics, literally no one but gays.

2. Sales would drop

3. Only the LGBTGTAQ+ can relate to the LGBTGTAQ+.


So no. We will never and there should be never a time where everyone is bi.

No one who matters gives a shit about shipping. Your fanfics do not matter. If you want there to be gay superheroes, GO MAKE ONE and get him published, write a hole cast of faggot faeries for him to jump into bed with, so you can ship him with all kinds of people. Go for it. If there really is mass appeal in that kind of character, it WOULD HAVE HAPPENED BY NOW. We have a gay Superman/Batman couple, they're called Apollo and Midnighter and there's a reason most people have never heard of them. Sorry tumblr, but it's just not working. You try it with comics, you try it with vidya, you try it with a lot of things. You want to make one small change, something most people wouldn't notice or care all that much about. But that's your toehold, your beachhead. You use it as a justification to ask for more changes, then more, until you've turned something good into another Liberal faggot mouthpiece. And the worst part is, you never cared. You don't actually care if they make Superman a fag, you just want the satisfaction of knowing you got them to change something by nagging it to death.

No it does change. Everything! If Superman has feelings for Bruce and Bruce fucks Dick instead, Superman gets jealous and doesn't want to be Batman's friend. Drama happens.

This happens in real life all the fucking time. I get the feeling you're one of those gay kids who's never actually had a real relationship enough to know or realize how much sex and lust destroy social interactions more than help bolster them.

I've seen it happen to many times. Two people rub their genitals together. Now they want to rub other people's genitals instead. Then two groups of people can't talk to each other because two people in the groups decided that their genitals were far more important than everyone else's desires or relationships.

This is petty, human, never ending bullshit every time sex is involved. And what do you want? More sex, more smut, more porn.

Look at Lois and Clark. Two random names but you know exactly who I'm talking about because of their RELATIONSHIP which implies SEXUALITY and their sexual orientation has become very much a part of their character.

Your argument is a backdoor argument for shipping whatever you want. That's all you just said -- a self-serving platitude.

Also if sexuality is non-important then we don't need ANY gay people then do we? What's the difference between a gay guy and straight guy? According to everyone, NOTHING but their sexuality. So if they're sexuality is a footnote and shouldn't matter, why make them gay at all? If not to draw special attention their non-important or relevant sexuality that's still important enough to warrant copious amounts of gay sex scenes instead of plot.

I never got this for gay, OR straight pairings, and I think I never will.

Hell, even the IRL version of it I've seen, haven't been to the point that you could mistake LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL THE PERSON, for trying to fuck 'em.

Hell, for that matter, the only IRL types I'd seen, were people too fucked in the head to get in a sane relationship, in the first place, and they usually drive their s.o. to abuse, unlike the fantasy hate-ship bullshit.

Like >>79125442' who is ONLY secure in his sexuality, with constant reinforcement of it, through outside means. If there was sexual security in this, then the sexual preferences of a character wouldn't fucking matter to him, any more than it should've mattered to >>79125356.

But like so many homo = identity types, it's literally "okay when WE do it", as this whole thread shows.

So no John, you ARE the autism.

They pretty much do this in anime. A character will almost never be explicitly straight and because relationships in anime are always in the 'building' stage, where it takes forever just for them to kiss it's very easy to imagine them as being gay but also very easy to deny it.

Because being gay is sinful and evil and by having a main character living in flagrant sin like homosexuality without a chance of them being brought out of it nobody will enjoy it.
