I want to headcanon a character I play as bi or at least bicurious but ofc. I'm afraid of being called a yaoibrat.

I'm just super not interested in m/f but I love playing ships and I love this particular character.

I used to run in fandom circles that treated all m/m and m/m shippers as misogynist trash and it's hard to shake the feeling that I'm sidelining women or fetishising gay men by playing gay/bi dudes exclusively.

The thing is that I'm a gay dude, I'm not sure how I'm fetishising myself or why I think I am.

The internet doesn't know a fucking thing about social rights and what is/is not objectification. Play what you want to play because you want to play it. You need no better reason than that.

The appropriate response to idiots telling you you're fetishising your own sexuality is to laugh until your stomach hurts. You'll feel much better, just as soon as the cramping stops.

No just app saying he's straight then play him wildly gay inside. They won't care then.

or just have a better reason than "dresses gay"

I did it and no one called me a yaoibrat (and I'm a straight girl). If you're in a game then make sure you're also paying attention to your non-ship CR (goes for ships of all orientations) and no one will give a shit, other than a few buttmad idiots.

I did this except with a female character and if you make sure to tag people besides your shipping partners no one will give a fuck.

As one who plays girls, just play your guy as gay and spare me the headache, would you?

this please. As someone that in the past has gotten ignored or worse even though I play a female canon love interest, I'd rather know right off the bat. Then I won't tag, you won't have to write what you don't want and we'll both be happy.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-31 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
the problem with this 'I want to ship m/m' does not require a personality transplant. totally ignoring women, and not expressing any interest in them does. so, how about we just stick with ooc communication and being clear about what is and isn't happening?

(Anonymous) 2013-04-05 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
If your character canonically shows interest in females, then you need to play that. It's fine to play them as bi, but don't just throw all the women under the bus, especially if your character is a huge flirt/playboy type. You don't have to ship with women if you find a dude your character clicks with, but if they frequently comment on dem titties, keep doing that!

>females

it's not a zero sum game idk where you got "throwing women under the bus" from "bi headcanon"

oh wait its dwrp
