Discussion Main / DepravedBiSexual

This is meant to be for when villains or others that are crazy or evil people are also bisexual as an added "character flaw", correct? About half the examples seem to be Anything That Moves or bisexuals who are kinda jerks to their lovers. Is the trope supposed to encompass that, or does it need a cleanup?

Is there room for expanding this trope to include other forms that are literally "depraved bisexual"? Because the word "depraved" isn't limited to "morally bad/evil"; it can also mean "(sexually) perverted".

Example: "A bisexual who is also interested in other 'abnormal' sexual practices (e.g. )"; born from an (ultimately incorrect) assumption that I've come across more than a few times, according to which bisexuality requires such high sexual deviancy that said bisexual must also be into other deviant sexual practices (e.g. gang bangs, sodomy, bestiality, scatological acts).

Say a villain has an opposite gender lover. How many times does this villain need to go to 1st base with a same gender character before we count him/her a depraved bisexual?

We need to pothole the image to Peachi (or hiimdaisy, if you want), and add a caption that links to MGS. Anybody got a good idea for a caption?

What happened to the Troper Tales?

should there be a section for the appearance in fan fiction?

Okay. A while ago I removed this needless bit from the intro:

• Unfortunately, this is not yet a Discredited Trope.

I see now that it was quickly replaced with this:

• Despite the trope being loaded with bigotry, ignorance and general unpleaseantness and offensiveness, both to real-world bisexuals and indeed anyone with more than half a brain cell to their name, it sadly still crops up in modern works

People. We do not have to pass judgment on tropes. In fact, "we" can't, because there is no "we". (The bit I originally removed began, IIRC, as an outright This Troper statement.) There are places to criticize tropes you dislike; heck, there are places to do that on this wiki. Doing it in the trope intro is just a way to flaunt how (in this case) gay-friendly you are — and this page isn't about you, it's about the trope.
