Relies entirely on caption. Not sure how this trope could be captured in an image anyways.

Textbook JAFAAC. Maybe panels 1+2 of this?

Pull, though I can think of a few ways it might be possible to illustrate this trope.

Pull current as textbook JAFAAC. Not sure about the suggestion.

This image was changed without discussion by owlnoelsword96.

Old image:

Heterosexual in Season 1, bisexual in Season 2, lesbian in Season 3. Those male dates before? Just experimentation, apparently.

They gave this as their edit reason:

Cheryl is never identified as by herself or anyone in the show as either heterosexual or bisexual. And she isn’t a case of this trope, as it wasn’t “sudden or without reason,” since we get backstory that explains that she tried to repress her sexuality because of her horrifically absuive mother’s homophobia. Her going after Archie in season one was also implied heavily to be due to her parents pressuring her to do it (Cheryl was thought of as not a suitable heir and her parents thought Archie would be. If taking Archie to the tapping was in purely cheryl’s Interest, would Penelope REALLY go out of her way to get Archie to agree, even bribing him? Etc) after revealing her past with heather she isn’t shown labeling herself as anything and after identifying as a lesbian in Season Three she has not “flip flopped” in her identity at all.

Second panel of 2 could work.

I generally agree with the reason for removal (although obviously not the very JAFAAC current) — sexuality is fluid etc etc and a multi-paneled image showing just an m/f relationship then a same-sex relationship could look like Bi The Way or Coming-Out Story.

So I think the second panel of 2, while text reliant, gets the point across effectively. Maybe cropped to remove the white box at the bottom.

[up] I'm good with that, but I'd put the overall title from the first panel over the text in the white box in the second panel so it makes more sense.

The picture and caption I edited in was a (really) bad choice, upon reflection. If the old Cheryl one is thought to work better I don’t care if someone wants to put it back in- but I like the one (the comic) proposed above.

Not sure we need that "too cliche" box... Tropes Are Tools and all.

[up] Agreed; the top is good, the bottom one can go.

Good enough. 19's in and tagged; caption?

Mini McGuinness: In Season Five she crushes on her female friends and even kisses one, in Season Six she’s exclusively heterosexual and those crushes are retconned out of existence.
