Am I the only one who's bothered when a fictional setting has rampant female bisexuality but zero to no male bisexuality or even gayness? Pic related

There is actually some gay male settings in media, it is just rare and less "out there", i think is the right phrasing. but i agree we do need more male gayness in media to help people get over homophobia and maybe a combination of people being open about lgbt in media. might even help bring the sexual aspect of it down and will actually show people as people.

You are correct. It is dumb.

>>3013407 I'm just as annoyed as a lesbian. A lot of comics and video games are geared towards straight males ages 16-32. I wish there was more diversity and fairness in general.

Lesbians are sexualized, homosexuals are stereotyped. Pick your poison.

>>3013567 It's not dumb. They didn't flunk a math test or try to sell sand in the Sahara. It's exactly what you'd expect from most cultures where men were in charge for so long. Masculinity usually equals power. Bisexuality or gayness is seen as more taboo in men because it is a perceived reduction in masculinity. Part of the reason how, in a lot of cultures such as latin america or arabic countries, a top wouldn't even be considered gay. He's still masculine. Bisexuality is seen as even more degenerate then gay. A gay man could at least been seen as the same level as a woman. They can't help it. A bisexual man can choose to be "less" then a man, and so it's more transgressive socially.

>>3013616 Actual lesbian stereotype would be angry, fat dykes. The ones in the media are just sexualized, idealized lesbians. Although you are right that sometimes gays are also sexualized in media, but most of the time it's just some camp flamer stereotype. For lesbians it's the other way around, they put the stereotype rarely and sexualize most of the time.

>>3013407 >fictional setting >bothered No, see, because if I don't like a book, show, song, movie, story, video game, or play I do something really, really strange. I know this will come as a bit of a shock and I hoped you're sitting down, but I - believe it or not - actually STOP reading/watching/playing things I don't like. Weird, I know.

>>3013407 It's nothing unusual/strange, though. ~95% of comic book readers are males aged 10 to 22 and they think girls kissing, especially comic book girls that are universally 9 - 10/10s, is hot while two guys kissing is gross/disgusting/gay. Welcome to comic book industry 1990?
