Fran can be a lesbian. Fran can be bi.

It doesn't and shouldn't matter beyond a desire for a specific kind of representation. Personally, I'm just happy to see some gay shit and it's an added bonus cause its a black woman at the center of a romance on a popular show. I genuinely had no interest in watching Bridgerton at all and and the thing that got me to sit through 3 seasons was a twitter gif of Fran meeting Michaela. I seriously was that easy 🥹 but I didn't care if they were lesbians or bi and I still don't, but y'all can't go a singular day without talking about a sexuality you clearly have no understanding of. And I'm not even gonna play myself and try to explain the nuances of attraction when it comes to bisexuality, cause my intention would be for people to understand, not even to change peoples minds, but there's no room for that. All queer women belong to one group and one group only and nothing can exist outside of that apparently.

yeah, we don't know what Francesca is and I personally do not care because lesbian or not, I'm still gonna feast. but folks care so much that they're not willing to engage with her story in an honest way and it's irritating af to see, especially knowing that it's not in good faith. so imma give my opinion just like everybody else gives theirs. the only difference is I'm getting called everything under the sun for my opinion while y'all tell each other "exactleeee" for yours

"you can't even have a bisexual character realizing her attraction for women without people watering the story down to comphet/repressed lesbian. im getting bored with that being every single sapphic story being told. let bisexual women have one thing"

not sure about the quality of your reading comprehension but that is exactly what I said, specifically referencing peoples perception of the characters. Y'ALL water down every single female characters same sex attraction (canon or not) to being comphet and THAT is getting boring. characters can't just be bisexual, they have to be comphet lesbians, according to y'all. y'all even go as far as erasing a characters sexuality by purposely taking what a writer or actress has to say about it out of context cause y'all can't go 2 seconds without calling bi characters lesbians

another thing I said:

"but the writers are gonna be lazy af and remove every complexity from Francesca just so she can appeal to a specific part of the sapphic community that hates it."

again, not sure about the quality of your reading comprehension, but I never said they changed anything about her personality, I'm saying they'd remove all complexities and interesting parts of her story to appeal to the people who are only interested in the fact that she's gonna kiss a woman.

she's said this many times, people just dumb af and refuse to acknowledge it cause to them, the only thing worse than the object of their affection being with a man is her being in love with him. that's why no one has a single original thought, they all keep parroting the same "platonic love is important too 🥺" rhetoric as if Bridgerton fails when it comes to platonic love

it would be such low hanging fruit and cheap af but I too am a low hanging fruit and cheap af

Thoughts?

it was me, I leaked it
