Wacky, Sometimes Scary Creations

More people on tumblr and fandom in general need to understand that we can talk about the lack of gay and lesbian rep in fandom without resorting to biphobia. Especially in spaces where canon character sexualities are largely headcanon. We absolutely do need more rep, I'm not disputing that, but multiple things can be true at once. We shouldn't treat the existence of m/f ships that include bi, pan, ace or trans characters as a threat to that rep just because they might look straight. Like why do my bi friends and I have to worry whether our sexuality headcanons for NPCs, from a game that we play for fun, are gay enough?

In the end I'm simply tired of seeing generalized "wow all m/f = hetslop how dare people taint my gay fandom" posts. Can we not.
