Sara gleefully inhabits slutty bisexual trope in a really positive way. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

An audience person asks for them to talk about Legends of Tomorrow. I imagine most of the people who follow me don’t need me to describe it? #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Callie on The Fosters is some good representation, hasn’t died, and is in fact getting a spin-off. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Effects of the “bad bisexual” portrayal on the actual bisexual community. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

“A way to make a character evil is to make them sexual. Like, how many villains lick people?”

Huh.

So many.

Star Trek mirrorverse feels. (From @manicpixiedane of course.)

Anyway, the evil mirror universe is where every woman is bi. “What is this morally corrupt bisexuality story you’re telling?”

A panelist recommends San Junipero.

Never heard of it.

“Imagine if we were so spoiled for choices that we didn’t actually have to see everyone’s sexuality performed.”

“The show is about how having relationships with men is best.” For both the men and women of Torchwood. (Buuuuuuuuurn.) #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

The problems with Torchwood’s portrayal of bisexuality. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

How important is it to see bisexual or biromantic characters in same gender relationships? (or multiple genders, versus real life where you may only be with one gender but still a bisexual person) #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

The unexpectedly good portrayal of bisexuality in Black Sails. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

“If we say one thing and do another, that’s great and we should get a cookie.”
“No cookies!”

Now Lando. It doesn’t count as representation if it’s not IN the story. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Talking about Lucifer now. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Leads into a question about queerbaiting and bisexuality. Both creators using queerbaiting and also monosexual fans thinking good bisexual representation is “just” queerbaiting. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Specifically noticed the weirdness of Diana staring lovingly at Steve with no context of what he even is, when she’s grown up on an island of only women.

And it would have been so easy to just add two women showing affection in the background. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

“I thought Wonder Woman was a really good movie and then I saw Black Panther and then I watched Wonder Woman again and was like what the crap is this.”

The conversation on the boat felt like queerbaiting. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

Now Thor Ragnorak. The erasure of Valkyrie’s bisexuality but also many people think it’s a very bisexual (sub)text. #bisexualrep #wiscon42 #wc42

“What does this MEAN?!?”
“I’ll tell you what it means.”
And then there’s a re-enactment of The Way You Make Me Feel.
“I think it means she’s bi.”

Also:
“I’m team free ass motherfucker.”

Janelle Monae and Dirty Computer. Yessss. It’s revolutionary in its blatant portrayal of bisexuality.
