Wondering why #ItsASin was trending again, I see that the Guardian named it as the best TV show of 2021.
They don't seem to have allowed my comment that the series' representation of bisexuality was stereotypes: 'predatory married man'; 'says "bisexual", gay really'..
.. (and 'says has "wife", but presumably cheating and also gay really'!); plus men who say "shut up, you little bender" during sex with another man or that they're not gay, just that having (black!!) boyfriends is 'shoving one's face in the shit'; ..
.. plus 'not there when it comes to protesting'. Oh, and the 'says "bisexual", gay really' reckons bisexuals are "half gay".
Argh.
My Christmas wish, this and every other year: significant consequences, not awards, for biphobia and erasure.
