All the people rating the thread dumb
i think lando being pan is a fine idea, but its pandering bullshit if it isn't actually shown in the works in some way and is just the writers saying so.
Or its expanding on character.
make lando kiss han
But if it doesn't fit to overtly show it in the story, than it makes sense that we wouldn't know about it
so basically if it has a pulse you wanna fuck it
I very much doubt that being outrageous, but more like "do we really need this?"
Just my 2c:
I can completely understand them tbh. As someone who is bi pan seems like a quasi-inclusive tag. It makes a slight sense in the sense that it includes trans/ non-binary people, but it's like: a) the bi tag should include them already imo and it is b) completely superfluous and it doesn't add anything useful. Just be yourself, love what you want to love (ofc in legal limits) and finito.
it's more like you just have the potential to find anyone attractive reguardless of how they identify.
Sex isn't entirely binary.
Transgender people alter their hormonal sex, some secondary sex characteristics, sometimes genitals to a degree, but not everything changes. Hence why it's not really inappropriate to distinguish them when it comes to sexuality.
Although, I don't think it's worth getting too hung up on details. Sexuality terms are mostly just somewhat useful broad strokes.
"Sex isn't entirely Binary"
Eerrrrrr
I've given a pass for the gender identification as it is indeed murky but the definitions for male and female in biology are quite clear and don't depend upon any biological inconsistencies, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to put my hand up there for the sake of science and medicine.
If you provide sperm or any other type of object or substance to fertilize eggs you are male.
If you produce eggs that can be fertilized by a male, you are female.
So I guess if you can achieve to transform your body to reach either of these goals I would argue you are just a male or female that identifies as something it wishes to be.
mmm, there's lots of people with a mix of sexual organs, so no
Sex has a lot of dimensions that can vary between people
Some people have mixed gonadal tissue, or the wrong gonadal tissue, different arrangements of chromosomes, malformed sexual organs, hormone insensitivity, etc..
That's what I mean when sex isn't wholly binary, not everyone is born with the typical arrangement.
Not really because its just throwing random crap at a wall. They're not an LGBT character if literally nothing about them is representative of LGBT people or communities except for the fact someone said they're an LGBT character. And its even worse if its not even brought up within the work itself because at that point the work and the character aren't actually representing anything at all. Its not a good move, its marketing trying to piggyback off of minority communities.
I see people often complaining about shoehorning in unnecessary representation in media, especially when it comes to orientation. I feel like there will never be a comfortable, well-received instance of LGBT+ representation unless its a work that literally centers its plot around someone being LGBT+.
I'd argue that you can be demisexual (only being attracted to people you already know well) and pansexual. My way of thinking about it is if you were to graph with masc/fem along the X axis and intensity of attraction on the y, ace/demi describes how high that line goes, while pan/gay/straight/bi describes the shape of it. Pan tends to explicitly mean a flat(ish) line while bi can be that or a non flat line which still includes multiple genders.
no
also no
so i guess you would be arguing wrong
thanks
Yeah i can see it. You would probably have gotten pretty friendly with all kinds of lifeforms being an outer-space scoundrel, male and female might stop being important distinctions after the introduction of the "where does she keep her tentacles?" step of checking people out.
That said i'm still not sure i "get" pan-sexuality. I'm bisexual and literally every definition I read just sounds like it's describing me anyway?
I guess "open-minded bisexual" is too much of a mouthful?
what about all the sweet sex acts he has lobot do to him while also simultaneously running all of bespin?
Pansexuality likely causes confusion because people like to pretend theres more than 2 genders.
The outrage is it's such a weak attempt at virtue signaling.
"Oh, by the way: Lando? He's totally pan. It's true! We've got queer representation, now. "
That's basically the only thing you can try to accomplish with this, the only thing that would make a person think "yeah, this is worth mentioning."
And it's weak. It's not actually trying to give queer people representation, it's just saying you are. It would have been so easy to actually do, yes without making some hamfisted romance subplot, but they didn't.
People who "identify" as nonbinary are just trying to fit into a trend and so is "pansexual". Stop making up words so you can be different
"Being harassed daily and told you're whole identity is wrong" isn't much of a trend to go for tbh.
Stating facts isn't harassment. It's a trend in the sense that people starting identifying as these made up things because they feel the need to be different
???
I hate this new trend of saying "stating facts" as an argument. Not giving any examples or trying to state facts, just saying so.
And also why are you collecting "nonbinary isn't real" into the only harassment that NB people face? Aside from the direct, you know, harassment that they deal with. No one just goes "You're what now? That's not really a thing, but okay" and stops. They keep going. They get in your face, call you a freak. Call you "some confused he-she." Some will even attack you. They'll call you weird, and make sure you feel ostracized.
So, lemme repeat myself: "Being harassed daily and told you're whole identity is wrong" isn't much of a trend to go for tbh, and isn't a need to "feel different."
If they some how actually deal with harassment then that sucks, but when some one says that the whole "nonbinary" or "pansexual" thing isn't real to them then that is in no way harassment. I'd like it if you could provide me with some kind of study that shows there is scientific and biological proof of "pansexuality" and "nonbinarism(?)" that isn't 1. a tabloid article or 2. a biased source
Wow you've come up with a new narcissists prayer for gender politics.
Going for the laughs there buddy?
