Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

I reported them for harassment with the following statement:

The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam's TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.

They're literally anti LGBT though. They are suggesting people not play games because it has LGBT themes, how does this have anything to do with "both sides"? Both sides of what?? I'm gay but most of the games I play have no gay representation, so why would it matter what "side" you're on unless you're homophobic and can't stand seeing someone who's LGBT?

Left and right. Being right wing and prefering not to play/support games that you fundamentally don't agree with is fair. Its not "homophobic" for them to notice things they personally don't align with and not recommend it to other people themselves. Even i can see that, and im ftm.

Nah, still homophobic. Not supporting something you otherwise would, specifically because it has gay people in it is homophobic. It might be part of your political belief, but it's still homophobic to single out the LGBT themes as a reason to dislike a game. I can see that cuz I'm mtf and bi. And I believe gender and sexuality should even be political in the first place but whatever.
