      Exactly, when I'm out and feeling cute, I'll have gay men approach me and ask if I'm gay. I'm not walking up to strangers and just shouting in their face that I'm bisexual.
      When I tell them I'm bi, there are absolutely gay men who will tell me that I'm not really bi or say things like "I remember when I still thought I was bi."
      The show depicts this because it happens all the time to bisexuals in queer community! And it feels good to actually see it represented!

    “Clarifying that he’s bi every time someone calls him gay is annoying” actually everyone assuming he’s gay is annoying! And saying he should just let everyone believe something about him that isn’t true is so rude! It’s completely minimizing our sexualities to act like we should just go along with other people believing we have a sexuality we don’t. He isn’t just “basically gay,” he’s bisexual, that freaking matters, it’s a part of who he is, it affects his life. People are really asking us to just hide a part of ourselves? For what? So you don’t have to be reminded there are more than 2 sexualities? It’s honestly infuriating

While any two queer people will have some things in common and that’s beautiful, being bi or pan is a fundamentally different experience from being homosexual, and I wish the rest of the LGBTQ+ community could just be happy for us finally getting some representation rather than critiquing a portrayal of an experience they simply don’t have.

Literally a couple of days ago I was speaking to a guy and I mentioned that my first kiss was with a girl and he went "YOURE BI???

      The thing I love about heartstopper is that even when they do talk about all the hard parts and the more serious topics, it never seems hopeless. In so much gay content, especially when they talk about highschool, they always make it seem so hopeless because when you’re in that mindset it does seem hopeless. But it’s so refreshing to see a show discuss these serious topics without making them feel like the end of the world. It’s something that a lot of people need to see because it’s a great reminder that even when you struggle with mental illness, people love you and there’s still joy to find. Heartstopper is a wonderfully hopeful show and it helps heal my own shitty highschool experience.

      Like yes it is important to tell the tragic realities some queer people face (but I feel like we're already saturated in sorrow with most of gay media and reality at this point). On the other hand an equally (sometimes even more) important topic should be represented in queer media is hope. People need to know that life can get better. That being queer comes with its ups and down just every other aspect of life.
      That you hold on to that joy those character on the screen display and don't stop until you have that same joy in your life because you deserve it.

    As an openly Bisexual woman since I was 14, bisexual erasure is a huge deal. It’s a problem I face from both the LGBTQ+ community as well as my heteronormative family and friends like Frederic said. Until I was 18, my whole family assumed I was a Lesbian, despite also dating two boys in those four years. They always assumed I was a lesbian bc “You have to pick one. You can’t like both.” or else I was just confused and experimenting. My first ever relationship was with a girl a year older than me and that was definitely not a PG relationship and I’ve also had relationships with men that were just the same! I’ve also had crushes on nonbinary people and androgynous folks that you genuinely gotta ask to tell and it is just upsetting to me that this is still very much a thing. I am now 22yo and I haven’t had a relationship since I was 17 because no one wants to date an open bisexual and if they do, it’s for all the wrong reasons. I have been asked out by woman who believed they could turn me away from any man forever and men who believe the same, which just frustrates me because why is it so hard to accept that I can like people beyond their appearances because I like most appearances? Bisexuality isn’t even exclusive to just liking men and woman, it just means you like 2 or more genders. You can be considered bisexual as long as you’re attracted to more than one gender so it’s just odd to me how much of a “Can we save her from the other side?” kind of scenario my love life has become. Im either more often chalked up to be nothing but a fetish or a cheater waiting to be born or I’m actually confused somehow like everyone says I am. Bisexual people exist and we’re often too scared to admit what we truly are to others due to their own biases against our sexual orientation. I can understand disliking characters coming out as bisexual to an extent because I’ve definitely seen characters get slapped with the bisexual label just for more inclusivity before, but that’s actually not very common. I can’t even name a good example off the top of my head, but it’s a tiny portion of our representation. I don’t remember this comic/book very well from when I’ve read it, but i’m fairly certain this scenario is not an inclusivity act alone. This character is meant to be genuinely bisexual from the beginning. I don’t understand why it’s a problem, unless they’re just biphobic or something.

      @fernthegreenfairy I think you’re smart enough to understand that although yes, male and female make two sexes, gender is not the same as sex, and that biological sex and the sexual attraction are completely separate as well. Sex can mean the act of intercourse while also referring to the organs, chromosomes, etc. Also, maybe don’t tell people what their identity is? Wicked odd. Definitions change over time throughout history, it’s inevitable. Language and culture is forever shifting. Also, not every bi person feels sexual attraction! Some of us are on the ace spectrum.

    As a bi girl, I really appreciate this. I have family members that don’t believe I’m bisexual so they’ll either pick lesbian or straight and the label me themselves and it really hurts. I just feel like people haven’t caught up to the reality of bisexuality since there’s so much bi erasure in the media.

    as a bi person, it’s always so sad whenever i come out to someone because they just come up with all the reason imaginable to not believe me. and social media kinda makes bisexuality something it is not. i’m glad you spoke up abt it, made my day :)

    When i watched heartstopper for the first time and for the hundreds of times I still watch it I always smile when he says I’m bi actually. Because even though I’m pan people call me gay and I’m not I’m pan! It shows how much people have to correct others when calling them gay because there are loads of sexualities

    Heartstopper is fantastic story telling. As an adult, it’s great fluff but also if you read the comics, sometimes it’s like the author is turning to the camera and saying “this is what healthy can look like and this is what unhealthy can look like” and I hope young readers read it and go “wow, I want that healthy relationship” or “you know, writing a letter to my parents about my feelings might be a scary but good step”. It’s not just fluff (I mean, it’s so cute) but it’s just a great way to introduce healthy queer relationships and healthy queer navigation. Lmao I’ll go watch Carol if I’m looking for a painful “realistic” queer love story but if the straights get to have cheesy rom coms, so do we 😭

      I agree with that wholeheartedly and especially that we don't have much happy stories with young teens and older folks. Also, Asian BL/ gay couple shows have more happy gay couples when they havent't even legalised same sex marriage which I guess interesting that it took the west a long time to greenlight main gay/lesbian couple shows.

    The Heartstopper books literally helped my 15 y/o cousin figure himself out and realize his feelings and thoughts were valid and he didn't have to hide from certain family members (most of our family on that side are not accepting, but I told him that just proves who his real family is) and he finally came out to all of us a few months ago. He dated a few girls because he was taught to by his womanizer father, but after I bought him the books when he asked me for them for his bday he started asking me about things and I made it known I was a safe person and I love him no matter who he loves and I'd answer to the best of my personal knowledge but also encouraged him to talk to any of his queer friends about it too, I know they helped him feel valid as well. He's now been in a very happy relationship with his bestie and the guy is a total sweetheart I love them both and besides his mom I'm probably his biggest supporter. He thought he had to choose straight or gay but after he read the books (and watched the show) he realized all of it is valid but it helped him realize he was bi. I'm so happy these books exist cause the fact that even helped one kid feel valid is a big win for me, I hope it helped more kids and also maybe adults figure themselves out. We need more media like this to normalize it, I hope I live to see the day no one has to "come out" and people can just be who they are.
    I myself identify as ace/demisexual, but I'm also okay without the labels for myself so I don't broadcast that. But anyone who needs the labels to feel like themselves then that's valid too. Love is love y'all 💕🌈

  • @lee2634
    @lee2634 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    The amount of times ive said some variation of "im bi actually" or "im not confused i like any type of person romanticly" is insane and i think its important to stress how many times ppl under the bisexual umbrella have to say stuff like that, especially to other queer ppl

    • @lilpetz500
      @lilpetz500 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel like a lot of this is lack of education on who they're allied with, and lack of curiosity. I dont know if it just became a hyperfixation for me, but I did my best to learn about and understand the experience of every queer identity I met with before I even fully realised I was under the umbrella too.
      It's important to learn what the label could mean, and what the common assumptions are to respect and support someone. And maybe learn how to respectfully ask about someone's personal range within that label to undwrstand it better if they want to share that, so many labels are entire spectrums of variations.
      Some bi people like all genders, some like specifically 2, some like broadly most of them but with a sense of duality of expression that makes them notably bi, some only feel comfortable with one type of genitals, some are only romantically bi but sexually something else or vice versa. Some of these definitions also fit for Pansexuality, but they feel more aligned with the bi community in particular with no ill will towards people being pan.
      It's complicated, just like how language itself is. Yet, what we do is constantly broaden our vocabularies every day forever so we can understand and utilise it better!

    @salem-01 ปีที่แล้ว +118

    I remember disliking heartstopper when it first came out last year. I didn’t think much of it but when I came back to it I realised that I actually DID like the show. I think there was a lot of internalised homophobia and insecurity that played a part in my first impression, but I didn’t even really realise it.
    My best friend still doesn’t like the show, which is fine, because it’s just not their speed. They like more fantasy themed queer stories. Not liking the show is totally ok, but people are so caught up in finding a reason why it’s bad that they can’t understand that they don’t need to. It’s ok to not like something.

    • @sunnyv7745
      @sunnyv7745 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I personally didn't like the way some of the scenes were played out as it felt too scripted otherwise I think it would have been a great show. Also Joe who plays Charlie was doing a great job brining out the character but I felt like there was something lacking in Nick's actor's acting and his personality seemed far different than the comic one.

    • @chesito15
      @chesito15 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think is a bad show just like everything netflix do is bad. Poorly written, made to appeal to the masses, etc. Not my thing.
      I have found many people saying that if you don't like it you are homophobic or on the other side saying that if you so like it you are also homophobic lol (Obviously I'm exaggerating, although there are probably crazy people who do think that way). Which is sad, we can't just enjoy a show without morally judging it? But looking on the bright side at least it opened the conversation to explore a little more about bisexuality and queer representation.

    I'm glad that a show like Heartstopper actually exists. The fact that Isaac has been confirmed as an aro character warms my aro heart become I really can't find shows mentioning aromanticism anywhere so I like that representation. Representation aside, I think it's a really well acted and well written show. Kit Connor is especially great I think, among the other talented actors.

    I’m honestly really sad I can’t watch Heartstopper anymore. I’m in recovery from an eating disorder and seeing the actions Charlie takes actively triggers it. I definitely appreciate the realistic representation of what it’s like to struggle with restriction and how it affects those who care about the person suffering. It was one of the things that helped me realize I had a problem and it wasn’t just hurting me. In my opinion, Heartstopper is an incredible show with great values and representation. I can’t wait for the day in my recovery where I can watch it again without feeling the urge to slip into old habits ❤

    • @lilpetz500
      @lilpetz500 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Oof the pan hate is real and so upsetting, I'm sorry buddy 💙
      A lot of it comes from semantics and communication issues between the histories of communities too. The pan community does have a few early adopters who used it against bi people in a misinformed way (this notion that bi people are trans exclusionary, but pan people arent, which isn't generalisably true), but that does not define the pan community at all, and really needs to stop being the assumed position.
      Pansexuals are completely valid and are an important distinction thats really helpful for clarifying people's identities, it does not matter if there's overlap with other m-spec orientations. They very well belong with us, and the only thing stopping us from adding a P to the acronym all of you is the risk of it getting misassociated as pedophilia acceptance by the grifters, and that the acronym is getting a bit long and excludable (if you see LGB community somewhere, big red flag, they are transphobic)

      I've the chance to be in a hyper open minded friend group (ally, pan, bi, gay... everything lmao). You'll find safe ppl, there are a lot of them, trust me.
      And tbh biphobic/panphobic gay ppl aren't a part of the community for me. They're exactly the same as straight anti-lgbtq+ ppl.....just some garbage and/or uneducated ppl.

    I think the show does an incredible job at being a happy show by and for queer people. It's happy, sweet and sure, a little cringe ig, but it does balance it well with the darker themes and moments, not just about queer themes too (Like Charlie's eating disorder and self harming and Nick being stressed over school and having a strained relationship with his dad.) The show knows the struggles of being queer, and still it takes its time to show the happiness you also get as a queer person, it inspires joy and acceptance and I think it's a wonderful series

    As a newly out Bisexual, Heartstopper is literally what got me to come out to myself and stop lying to myself after two whole years of denial. Also seeing the depiction of Charlie and his eating disorder made me realize that what I was struggling with was actually an eating disorder. I thought since I wasn't starving myself to be thin, that I didn't have an ED, but after that scene I researched it more and realized that it can take many forms. It feels so much better to be able to put a name on this thing that's been bothering me for five years, and to finally be able to research how to get past it.
