What bi experiences do you wish fiction handled better? Any tropes you hate?
For a while, my X For You feed kept showing posts hating on bisexual celebrities (99% of them being women) for getting into relationships with men while still identifying as bisexual.
The discourse frustrated me so much that it ended up inspiring a visual novel.
I'm working on an otome and yuri visual novel called The Community Notes Are Wrong, which is about a bisexual woman dealing with biphobia, bi erasure, messy online discourse and includes romantic routes with both a male and female love interest.
I'm curious: what kinds of bi representation feel real to you, and what tropes instantly make you go "please, not this again"?
I’ve also had a couple of people say certain parts of the story came across in ways I didn’t intend, including concerns around lesbophobia. Because the comment quickly became personal and the person made assumptions about my bisexuality, I thought it would be helpful to ask somewhere more neutral.
