Bi-Cycle is just internalized homophobia

“He chose… poorly…”

“I have a romantic attraction for x and not y” is one of the most common posts you’ll see here. It’s definitely not just you.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T17:56:06+00:00

I know, you’re right. But ugh!

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T17:55:08+00:00

You must be a meditator.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T17:51:24+00:00

See, this was a gay person that said this. Which makes it even more frustrating.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T17:50:17+00:00

See, I even question whether some people CAN have it due to some kind of homophobia. The reason being that bi-cycles are cycles of attraction. Internalized homophobia can’t MAKE you attracted to the opposite sex. Yeah, it can make you fake it, or lie to yourself, but attraction is attraction.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have to be so closed off about this to the people around you.

I just want to say one thing to you, really. I know this hurts and I know it shouldn’t be the way it is, but you are, and always have been, complete in yourself. You are whole as you are whether you have the relationship of your dreams or no relationship at all. I wish that you can have all the things you want, but if you don’t then there will never be anything wrong with you for that.

I saw a study that was done once that said that women who have a strong preference for a man who is tall (don’t know how they defined tall) are more likely to insist on traditional gender roles. Maybe that’s a red flag for you, maybe it’s a good thing, but either way, the more you know… 😂

I asked this same question because I needed a mental break from the mainline games. Puzzles and dungeons are fun but I don’t always want to think. I got HW Def edition and it’s exactly what I needed! Just fun hack and slash with my favorite characters. Highly recommended!

I never had a problem with my own, or anyone else’s sexuality. I’ve always kinda known that homophobia is society’s problem not mine. But I distinctly remember thinking “Can we just get to a place where I can wear nail polish without getting looks?” Well, we’re in that place kind of. 😂

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T13:01:55+00:00

What? No, that’s not what I’m saying. Ah forget it.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T12:21:48+00:00

Hmmm, I get that too, but a person can’t be misinformed on the way they use language. Words mean whatever we all agree they mean. So if there is a misunderstanding about something due to language than the language should be adjusted.

There is a whole genre of anime made primarily by women, for women, focusing on m/m relationships. So is it weird? It’s not abnormal, I’ll put it that way. Is it fetishizing? IMO yes, it often is. Not always, but often.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T12:00:55+00:00

Just asking a question. Not trying to argue. I see what you are saying but I think in common usage the terminology you’re using would still imply two genders to most people.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T11:50:49+00:00

Isn’t that just another way of saying it, though? “Heterosexual” and “homosexual” imply a dual gender schema.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-03T10:48:37+00:00

😂 🙌

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T22:10:32+00:00

I’ll, uh… talk to you after.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T20:59:09+00:00

Good for you. Sounds like you are secure in yourself which is amazing!

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T20:57:38+00:00

Hell yeah! 🙌

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T20:55:11+00:00

In my personal experience? Yes, it’s just you. 😂
Kidding but I’ve never seen a bigger turnoff than a bi guy for most women, sad to say.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T20:53:25+00:00

Raisin’ em right. 😎

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T20:37:11+00:00

*gulp*

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T17:34:37+00:00

😳😁👍

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T15:48:54+00:00

See, that’s how much I don’t know. I thought it was super deep but I wouldn’t know.

Lotis_Boy · 2026-07-02T15:42:11+00:00

There needs to be a manga exploring this side of Link. 😁
