Well uh lots of people think representation in media matters? If it doesn't matter to you, cool, but that doesn't mean everyone who cares is wrong

Male bi characters are pretty rare and people like representation.

I'm pretty sure John Constantine rear end in a top hat had freaky bee sex with his bee friend Beeman.

Their bisexuality is like the emphasis of their gross heartlessness. its super weird how common that is, like i cant believe that all script writers have been scorned by a bisexual person?

I just realized the most positive portrayal of a bisexual I've seen in TV or movies is Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Torchwood. Guy is... still really sleazy, but at least he's generally a good person.

From what I remember of Torchwood, most of the characters were dickheads so its splitting hairs that Jack was worse. When he was on Dr Who though his character wasn't so much bi as that he was from humanity's "gently caress anything with a pulse" era.

Its supposed to be grating. In Dangerous Habits for example he does trick the lords of hell but afterwards he realizes that he almost kickstarted armageddon to save his own lovely life and then his cancerous friend dies because he doesn't have the means to bargain with demons.

One thing I always like in shows and movies is when they play by the "Actions speak louder than words" rule, by having a character imply something but plainly showing the statement/implication to be false. An example is in the famous intro to Fresh Prince of Bel Aire - Will states that he "Got in one little fight..." implying that it was a two way struggle, but the choreography exposes the lie here - he doesn't "Get in a fight" he is huddled in the foetal position the entire time - he didn't get in a fight, he got badly beaten up - who known just how bad he must have looked for his mother to think sending him to his uncles house was not an unreasonable course of action - Will is plainly not part of a wealthy family, and looking at a map, he lives as far from West LA as possible without also going north. - an East Philadelphia-to-Bel Air route literally bisects a map of the us - that Taxi fare cannot have been cheap. I think we can assume as hospital visit may have been involved for her to think spending that kind of money getting him as far away from her a possible was a worthwhile investment.

Joey Freshwater posted:Never says she spent any money. Uncle Phil could have ponied up. Yeah, Uncle Phil's a millionaire (or close to it, at any rate.) I'm pretty sure the plane ticket and cab fare were a pittance to him. It does raise the question, though, of why he made Will take a cruddy cab from the airport to Bel-Air in the first place. You'd think he'd send Jeffrey to pick him up or something.

I distinctly remember a man waiting at the airport to pick him up (had a sign with his name and everything), but he didn't understand that so he got a cab.

If only there were some sort of website we could go to that shows the original intro it would solve all of our problems! Oh well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nCqRmx3Dnw No man with sign, but he does mention being in first class and makes a comment about it being how people in Bel Aire do it, so I feel like that's proof enough that Uncle Phil bought the ticket.
