it’s fascinating that those biphobes compare women liking astarion to women liking legolas and they mention a popular post that says “I never understood why so many straight women are into legolas. what do you think he is going to do? top you?” they bring this post up like some sort of proof “haha. so right. so true.”
EXCEPT the notes on that popular post are filled with THOUSANDS of women commenting “no. I am gonna top him” and “bold of you to assume women can’t top” and a lot of them are bisexual women commenting “I am bi and I only like men who look like a girl lol” honestly relatable Lmao
they act like that shitpost is pointing out some truth about how those women are silly. but the replies on that post show the stupidity of that assumptions. people really don’t get that feminine looking women don’t just want to be rough handled by some masculine dude. and people have varied tastes and sexual desires. there is so much misogyny all tangled up in the biphobia. but it’s subtle in a way that they don’t notice their views on these matters are flawed because even when we point out what’s wrong with these gender essentialist stereotypes, they ignore it and treat it as a joke “haha you all act like we wanted to behead bisexuals”
^ you get it. It’s the same reason they think those “femme women” wouldn’t top or dom.
[ID: #that fucking post has done irreparable damage to society lmao #but also. alternatively. there’s also something really aggravating about the idea that astarion (or legolas in this case) WOULDN’T top #or dom. because they ‘look’ or ‘act’ a certain way. and it’s why it fills me w so much rage. it’s ALL repackaged homophobia and biphobic #nonsense. “what do you expect this fucking twink to do? top you?” #explain why he couldn’t. go on. /END ID]
