I blame Nicki Minaj, who in the year of our lord 2020, said "Used to be bi, but now I'm just hetero" in her verse on Doja Cat's remix. :|

There's a long list of celebs who used to claim to be bi and have since walked it back as "seeking attention". Very upsetting...thanks, guys! Totally not perpetuating the stereotype or anything!

I understand the frustration, but would it have been better if they just continued to claim to be bi? Claiming you're bi when you aren't is bad, is it better or worse to admit the first bad thing?

It would have been better if they hadn’t done it just to get attention in the first place, this is a pretty easy one.

No, for sure! And someone thinking they were bi, but later realizing they are not, is totally valid and doesn't automatically make someone an rear end in a top hat or a biphobe. "I thought I was bi but through self-reflection, realized I'm actually straight" is one thing, but "Yeah, I knew I was never bi, I just did that for attention" is quite another.

It's the wording of it. I would much prefer "THOUGHT I was bi, now I'm just hetero", rather than "USED to be bi, now I'm just hetero". It's a small distinction, but an important one. The former implies a mistake, the latter implies a transition from one to the other.

Similarly, a celebrity who falls into this category should have obligation to their LGBT+ fans (namely the B) to make it VERY clear in interviews that this is YOUR specific experience, not something that all bi folks experience. Otherwise, it's way too easy for dumbasses to go, "Lol, you're bi? Uh huh, yeah, sure, five years from now you'll be straight again, just like _____".

And yes, this. Frankly, if you are a major star and have admitted to faking being bi to sell records and get attention, you better be donating some of those proceeds to a good cause!

Yeah but if it has conversation cutscenes those are always funnier if your character is a hideous goblinoid abomination.

Especially if it's a game with romance options where designated characters want to boink the PC and they're making bedroom eyes and flirting with a grotesque monster.

I refuse to feel ashamed 'cause of my pretty blue eyes

Speaking as a blonde girl with blue eyes who went to a majority-Latino high school, I can guaran-loving-tee NO one made fun of this dude's blue eyes. If anything, he was probably constantly getting compliments. :shrug: My guess is the class learned about Hitler liking blonde hair and blue eyes, someone went "Lol, Tom, that's you", and that's the most oppressive thing to ever happen in his life.

No one's laughing at your eyes, dude, it's because you choose to look like this.




He also wrote a song addressing Eminem and comparing himself to him, with such great lines as:

"People claim that you hate me, but Marshall, that can't be right, dude
You'd have to hate yourself as well 'cause, Marshall, I'm you"

I used to make characters who look like me, or at least are pale and blonde. Then I got bored of that and now I just make whatever strikes my fancy and they rarely look like me anymore. They are every colour. But this is only personal preference.

I tend to scroll through the presets and pick whatever one strikes my fancy, then maybe add a cool beard/tattoo/scar/goggles.

One of the Mass Effects removed the eyebrow scar from the character creation options and it genuinely bothered me. Maybe I should get the legendary edition; I wager it lets you maintain a consistent look.

Imma go the opposite direction and claim that "just making yourself" is perfectly valid. Wanting the character to be you, who is experiencing the setting the creators laid out for you, is the easiest way to get into a unfamiliar setting.

Still lol at the guys who were whinging about not having a skin white enough. Sorry dude, the technology for translucent skin is still a ways off for a create- a-character.

95% of of the time, anyone who designs a character in a fantasy videogame to look like their real body (or their desired/idealized version of it) is a giant dweeb and deserves nothing but mockery.

The other 5% is trans and gender-questioning people using it to explore gender stuff in a safe environment.
