bisexual plus tropes on screen: episode three "the soft (bi) boi" || bisexuality

[@Moose_Hawkins]

This popped up in my recs and I just have to say, I, a bisexual man with depression, have never felt more called out 😡

same

I loved captain Flint so much. Black sails is truly a gem.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I really loved the relationship between ragnar and athelstan in Vikings

[@theforgetfulalchemist]

Elliot and Dean are definitely both deeply sad and deeply bisexual

[@lightningletterbomb5017]

I would also add John Watson in BBC Sherlock on this list, the holy triad of sad bi men imo

[@Buddhistsocialist]

I’m glad I’m not crazy the whole time I watched mr robot I was waiting for Elliot’s bi reveal since everyone else got theirs but it never came.

[@TigerPrawn_]

I stopped watching it because I was so confused by the show, but after this I want to try it again.

AMC's Interview with a Vampire version of Lestat is explicitly stated as being Bisexual.

Love that I get an ad for therapy in the middle of this video 😂

[@TigerPrawn_]

That was so interesting what you said about these characters being no-homo placeholders. Damn. Makes me think how they are two sides of the same coin - they can be written in exactly the same way word for word - but whether they are explicitly named as queer makes all the difference.

[@angelaholmes8888]

My favorite Male bisexual character is Robert sugden from the British TV show emmerdale I really liked his character arc learning to deal with his sexuality

[@WhyIsGhostInTheArena]

Finally, a bisexual Riker truther

[@blackandwhitethinking]

‘til I die lol

[@palomasaudios2676]

I am glad Elliot is on this. Another character that fits the Soft sad Bisexual Boy/Bi Coded trope is Kim Do-Ki from Taxi Driver who has a lot of similarities with Elliot and much like the latter with Tyrell and Will with Hannibal he also has a toxic ship with the s2 villain On Ha joon

The name of this video is killing me because mood

[@squiddwizzard8850]

I thiiiiink Bob is actually canonically bisexual

[@suisui7481]

I saw episode 3 and went and binged ep 1 and 2 and the its a sin video and they all fed my bi-self Thank you mage

[@Primordial_Synapse]

I know this has nothing to do with the content in this video so I apologize in advance, but thoughts on Wednesday and Willow?

[@blackandwhitethinking]

haven’t seen either yet, busy holiday season but will let yknow when I do!

[@FusionKanine]

Why is it such a hard line between a toxic male and a soft boi. Why can't they just be people. Also, Elliot or Mastermind, who you've actually been showing in your Mr. Robot clips, is not in any way represented as being queer, and forced representation is just as damaging as bad representation. At the MOST, Mr. Robot could be mlm or bisexual on some level. It feels a little messed up miss representing a complex character with a trauma based disorder as being nothing but a "Sad soft bi boi" he's not sad and soft, he's traumatized from childhood trauma and sa, but I'm guessing because he wasn't a She or a They, you didn't watch that far.

[@wareforcoin5780]

Hey man, you need to vent a little? You seem angry.

[@Evanzodd]

Imma be real: I just can't relate, I'm proudly bisexual but very male typical. I'm also very pro masculinity. I dislike the assumption all bi men are "soft", not all of us are feminine. We're still men some of us are feminine sure but plenty are masculine... We are diverse though so it depends on the individual bi guy

[@blackandwhitethinking]

yeah, you don't have to relate. this is just one aspect of male bisexuality, and lots of the characters in this video are still stereotypically 'masculine. this is just a discussion on one element of a complex tapestry. thanks for checking out the video even if you don't relate though
