No, I've played the whole game.

You could make a convincing case of either. I have friends who are trans women who say they see themselves in Astarion. I have gay guy friends who say they see themselves in Astarion. He's gender non-conforming in a way that could swing either way, honestly.

Estrogen could've saved her is a meme. It's a joke. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

Astarion is Schrodinger's Queer Person because so many kinds of queer people see themselves in them. I have a friend who'd fight to the death that he should've been a m/m romance only. I have a bi friend who's effeminate like him but still fucks women therefore likes Astarion as pansexual. We could be here all day arguing the vampire's sexuality and gender.

Astarion is bi supremacy and everyone else can seethe and cope.

Really, BG3 is Bi Supremacy: The Game. Monosexuals can't take this from us.

How else do you suggest I refer to people attracted to a single gender? I could say straight and gay, but monosexual is less to type.

Either way, bi bitches stay winning.

By their actual sexuality, you don't need to atomize sexuality to pointless labels like this. Take your stupid Tumblr MOGAI wars elsewhere.

the term's been used since the early 2000s, stay mad I guess?

no matter how you feel, BG3's still an example of bisexual excellence.

I'm bisexual dumbass. It's a worthless term because it lumps gay people with straight people. Gay people don't oppress bisexuals. Terms for sexuality used to speak about the relationship of power (oppressor/oppressed in this case), not be labels for labels sake because everyone wants to have their own slur now.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2025-02-12 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
it's not a slur, you weirdo. there's no value judgment. it's literally a descriptive term to indicate that someone experiences sexual attraction to one gender, not multiple.

not even touching this bizarre idea you have that sexuality labels have to involve...oppression, somehow?

/laughing into the sun

are you fucking for real, my dude? gay people frequently erase and belittle bisexuals, especially if they're in a current 'het' relationship.

signed, another bisexual.

erasing and belittling you is not comparable to violence like gaybashing you and banning gay marriage, which is 99.9% done by hets

there's no hope for the lgbt movement

my brother in Christ, you’re in a thread about bi erasure in queer fandom spaces, not a treatise on global homophobia.

hets are not involved in this situation nor is it that serious.

"canon bi/pan cis male character who exhibits abusive behavior and classic toxic masculinity control issues could be argued to be [something else] all day"

not really

there are gay and lesbian characters in the game, there are trans characters in the game. if he was supposed to be one of those he would be.

that's not going to stop people from theorizing
