Okay. There really isn’t only one concept of bisexual, also it undoubtedly does not suggest somebody who dates/enjoys men and women similarly and contains dropped deeply in love with both women and men. You can find bisexuals that have only dated one sex, or only have fallen deeply in love with one sex, and they’re nevertheless bisexual! Additionally there are a lot of people that do have preference ( ag e.g. are intimately interested in males, but discover the great majority of those insufferable and don’t want currently them, or homoromantic that is bisexual which will be the way I often describe myself), which can be fine! I would personally additionally like to see Waverly continue steadily to define herself and make use of more terms to explain what/how she identifies, however in the meantime We don’t think that simply because she appears more (romantically) into Nicole than she ended up being into Champ/her AU fiance, that that fundamentally means she’s demonstrably gay. In addition genuinely believe that the throwaway line into the AU episode, that was played for laughs and I also saw more of a Buffy guide than whatever else, is always the be-all end-all in terms of her identification.
I do believe it’s fine for gay/lesbian individuals to claim her, but We additionally think it is a shitty that is little all of the people within the feedback to grumble about other people claiming Waverly as bi.
I’m honestly confused regarding your “more than one” concept of the term bisexual. I’m also unsure exactly how that also relates to Waverly. If she had never ever been with Champ, then there’s nothing so that you can carry on about her being bisexual & I guarantee you don’t add her to the list. Any list which has Waverly as bisexual is defining her sexuality by her past. You fundamentally admitted by saying you wish she identifies by by herself more that you’re simply guessing at her bisexuality. I believe that is what people have problem with. There’s a difference that is big fans at home viewing the show “claiming” her as bi/gay & her being put into some list like this that looks official. Fans have a look at a listing such as this that’s published & shared one of the fandom& assume it to just be real & it contributes to confusion. We additionally don’t see what’s shitty about individuals concern that is having it. It’s a deal that is big. In cases where a canon bisexual character was on a listing of lesbian characters I’d feel the in an identical way.
Therefore unless it is been stated by the show/character, possibly keep these kind of figures from the listings for the time being & possibly have another TBD list.
Sorry for the reply that is late. I became replying especially to Mazz stating that Bo represents “the concept of a woman that is bisexual because “not just did she never ever wait in her own real attraction for and enjoyment of both men and women, nevertheless when she fell deeply in love with both a male and a lady she adored them similarly.” I became wanting to explain that, while that may extremely very well be *the* concept of one person’s bisexuality, it is not always the outcome that all of those elements should be contained in order for anyone to be bisexual. Bisexual doesn’t constantly seem like being equally interested in both women and men along with dropping in love (and loving equally) “a male and a lady.” People define and describe their bisexuality in various methods, also it could possibly be “sexually drawn to people but mostly dropping in deep love with ladies,” for instance. It could additionally be “sexually interested in every person, no matter sex, and also only dropped in deep love with females and people that are non-binary days gone by, but could conceivably fall deeply in love with a guy.” Does that produce feeling? I simply wanted to counter the concept that there is precisely one method to embody or represent the meaning of bisexuality, for fictional characters and for us humans that are real-live.
