While there should be more, there are some current big named bisexual characters who are leading their own comic book solo titles. Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Constantine are three of the bigger names, then there’s Voodoo, Alysia Yeoh, Porcelain, Jeanette, and of course Catman.
There’s still problems with bisexual erasure in comics, which is a symptom of biphobia. There’s the consistent stream of real world biphobia that reflects itself back into our media by denying the validity of their existence. So a story about a bisexual character or characters dealing with biphobia in various forms is a story more than worth telling; it’s one that should be told, period.

Why so many white people. There’s not a single woman of color in the entire cast. And there’s only three characters of color in the movie at all. There are eighteen top billed cast members in this movie. Eighteen. Three of them are black.

Moving Blogs
So as I’m sure some people have noticed I’ve been less active on this blog and that’s because I’ve been spending most of my time on my other blog which is half fandom half professional life stuff.
I’m debating, currently, whether to save this url because I’ve always been juvjuvychan since my days on freaking FFNet it’s like, MY fandom name so I’m never giving it up, and making this a part time queued fandom blog or turning this into an archive or something. I’m not sure yet.
But I wanted to let everyone who follows me know that I’m going to be full time on my other blog: desireerodriguez.co.vu and if we’re mutuals please follow me so I can follow back! But only if you want of course, and if you want to keep following me please do!
The reason I wanted to let everyone know is that I won’t be really answering asks on here anymore since I won’t be logging on as much so that’s why lots of asks have been sitting unanswered for a while (sorry guys!) and why I haven’t been tagging anything recently (I typically only use this blog on mobile anymore). I’ve gotten a lot of asks asking me to tag things and I’m really sorry about that; I tag everything at my other blog since I’m on it more.
Okay guys so that’s my ~big announcement as it were. I’m moving blogs which has actually been a pretty tough decision for me. I’ve had this blog for almost, I wanna say five years now? And I’ve made so many amazing friends here, and talked to so many amazing people. But it might be time to move on just a bit.
Like I said, this will either turn into a queued fandom blog or an archive I’ll let you guys know. But by the end of this month I’ll be full time only on my other blog so I’ll slowly be turning off features here. Thank you everyone who’s followed my wackiness over the years

Okay I’m not queuing anything up anymore so by the start of probably next week this blog will be no more!
I'm making the move today going through this blog and snagging posts that I want to keep and making sure too follow mutuals on my other blog.

Teen Titans is such a perplexing enigma of a show because y’know it’s got these heavy episodes featuring Raven’s genocidal father, a teenage girl betraying everything she’s worked for to work under an abusive figure, Robin becoming mentally unstable and paranoid over an enemy that isn’t there in one big plot of manipulation
and then there’s an episode where Beast Boy fights alien tofu and everyone getting turned into animals in a magic hat

I’ve never looked at a picture of the tall, lean Amazonian Wonder Woman and thought her less strong because she doesn’t look like Chris Hemsworth with his shirt off. I also didn’t look at Gal Gadot in the Fast and Furious movies and think, “Yeah, she’s not so tough. Why is she so skinny?” It’s always been a foreign notion to me to look at a woman and think that because she looks slender, she can’t be strong.
The even greater problem here is that this isn’t something we’d say about a male superhero. We don’t look at The Flash star Grant Gustin and say, “He’s too thin to be The Flash.” Even though there are brawny versions of Barry Allen from the comics. No, we looked at Gustin and allowed him to inhabit the role, to give us a very strong, nuanced version of The Flash. We don’t always do that with female heroes. In fact, we almost never do it.
Is Krysten Ritter, the actress who plays Jessica Jones, a petite woman? Yes. Does that make her any less capable of giving us a wonderfully fleshed out, strong heroine? Absolutely not. If you are trying to level this criticism against a female lead in a superhero property, you’re missing the point (and you’re being a misogynist dick). Every time I see this pop up in comment sections, forums, or even worse, reviews from legitimate outlets, I cringe. This is taking the idea that someone’s physical appearance is more important than their character (something with which our society already struggles) and applying it to a world where we should be celebrating strong, intelligent, heroic and complex female characters.
So if you’re out there, just having finished typing your comment about how Krysten Ritter’s arms are too thin to be a believable badass, just stop. Delete the comment and walk away. Because sentiments like that are not only incorrect, they are also deeply inappropriate.

Am I ship shaming? Am I a ship shamer? I’m strangely okay with that.
