We don’t think this ended up being situation of escalation by other people, and I also don’t think other people’s escalation would justify the accusations you add forth about lesbian erasure and lesbophobia in specific. Laura R. ended up being diplomatic. Queer Woman wasn’t hostile.

They just disagreed with you. Searching throughout the responses renders me personally because of the summary that you're usually the one who escalated the tone of the conversation. In very first remark you write “All females are bisexual by default?” which struck me personally as reasonably hyperbolic. You've got extrapolated the possibly erroneous recognition for this one homosexual character to imply that the list’s authors think each queer women can be bisexual by standard. That’s super unnecessary and defensive. And yes, it is obnoxious to select this battle during bi exposure week and also to ensure it is quite definitely a battle. You may be usually the one that has both accused Autostraddle as well as other commenters of lesbian erasure/lesbophobia AND assumed that they’re accusing you of biphobia in change, but whom called you biphobic? Provided your remarks about bi fandoms attacking individuals, we wonder if perchance you’ve carried within the energy off their fandom fights right into a context where it does not use.

I don’t assume that a lesbian wouldn’t are having issues with bi erasure because We myself have always been a lesbian who's got an issue with bi erasure. But if you can point to comments you’ve made here in which you object to bi erasure as aggressively and dramatically as this alleged case of lesbian erasure because you point the finger at bisexuals by singling out their fandoms for bad behaviour, that makes me wonder.

you are invited to show me personally incorrect by giving screenshots of the time whenever state, someone utilized ‘lesbian’ to spell it out Evan Rachel Wood’s fashion feeling and also you were this indignant and protective about bi erasure.

I along with other those who called out the addition of Waverly with this list ended up being literally called shitty by the individual you describe as diplomatic, that has been the point whenever I stopped being good. Funny how you’re OK with that but need as any proof from me an evidence of my good will, expecting I’ll spend hours looking for and making screenshots of my words and upload it to some server just so you would say it doesn’t matter anyway because you don’t see it. Just like being called “shitty” is “diplomatic behavior” in this alt truth.

And that is just exactly exactly what angers me personally the absolute most about it situation. Gaslighting and dual requirements. Calling away detailing as bisexual the character who’s very likely homosexual as she also utilized your message to explain by herself is definitely an assault on bisexual people now (that’s why I pointed out insinuation of biphobia in addition, but of program I bet you didn’t view it this way either the same as title calling is diplomatic) and now we shouldn’t have any difficulty because “who’s harmed by that”. Then your description it is harmful because lesbian presence is in really state that is bad of leads to accusation that dealing with lesbians is hi jacking bi visibility week. You actually don’t see any nagging issue for the reason that?

Plus one of the very disingenuous arguments, we you will need to forbid bi fans from seeing Wav as bi because articles for a famous site concentrated at queer ladies is simply the identical to an impression of a fan! Except it is perhaps perhaps not. When individuals see it they’ll get the feeling so it’s already formal. Which often can lead to huge strain on the article writers and showrunners to stick to that even they planned, or they’ll face the fan wrath if it’s not what. And that is really shitty.

Because of enough time you’re taking to argue that this really isn’t a grudge carried over from a bi/lesbian fandom war but actually a basic argument from an individual who is fair to all, i do believe it is significantly more than fair for me to inquire of one to straight back up which claim. You don’t desire a screenshot, simply copy/paste something it’s from accusatory you’ve written re:bisexual erasure and link to the article.
