Everyone loves games and that includes LGBT, but why are we not represented?
Despite being a virtual world is just as bad, most people in LGBT are indeed not represented or badly represented. Grand Theft Auto, a game that has always done what it wants, with violence and hookers, it’s not surprise that it’s chock full of homophobia like Trevor who in the game is Bisexual is mentally insane and known for bipolar disorder. Most transgender characters such as Birdo from Nintendo and poison from street fighter, Birdo being an ongoing a joke and being taken in and out of games, and poison was only created because the game developer thought it was wrong for a guy to hit a women thus making her transgender, which is wrong on all levels. Things are changing like Sims, which allowed same sex marriage despite being altered in certain countries and the representation, improves with life is strange, another game that allows your character to be Bisexual and the final season of the walking dead game, another that allows you to choose who you love. We are not there yet, we are getting there, but for bisexuality reality is deeply under representation, here's a video that goes more in depth in the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdmJXHJLZ6M
LGBT is a topic not many people like to discuss or for some a topic, people like to shame. If you would like, you can take it as a coming out story, but I've been out since I was 15. I’m eighteen years old and I’m bisexual. I remember when I first thought about my sexuality was when I was in class doing a survey and the survey asked what my sexuality was and I couldn't tick any box. I was just there. Staring. That’s when I realised straight didn’t sit well with me, but you would think, I would have come out, but no. I openly told a friend who quickly told me “i’m just doing it because it’s common.” which struck me, just because we already had someone who was openly bisexual, I wasn’t allowed. Every time, I would like a boy, everyone assumed being Bisexual was me being attention seeking and really I just like boys, but that wasn’t the case.
Being bisexual means you like both genders, girl and boy by definition, however some people like both boys and girls cis meaning gender they were born with and identify with as well as transgender boys and transgender girls and non binary people which some people like to be called pansexual, but some still identify as bisexual. Bisexuality, also isn't you like boys and girls equally, you can like girls more than boys or boys more than girls, either way you’re still bisexual.
Unfortunately, Bisexuality is ignored and almost never taken seriously even by the LGBT community, most bisexuality isn’t represented due to it not being a same sex relationship, we are fetish-ed if we are in a same sex relationship, but ignored if in a opposite sex relationship. Most bisexual people are judged as straight and ridiculed for not being “queer enough” . We are told we have failed as bisexuals solely for ending in a “straight relationship.” people see bisexuality as a way before going gay or straight, solely a phase or just straight people trying to be special and that is entirely not true. we deserve to be heard and seen.
