Ordeaux26 is the one responsible for most of the bi to lesbian edits, but even the article they cite says it is deliberately unconfirmed — she was gonna be a lesbian but they were unable to get the word in, and the writers decided to leave it open to interpretation to let her be relatable to bi people too.

(He also claimed her one-episode crush on Hugh was debunked in the article but I didn’t see it even mentioned at all? Unless I missed something.)

"Likes girls" / "sapphic" might be the best compromise here.

I think that comes from this in the article:

That lack of a more explicit identification resulted in some fans reading Luna as bisexual following the events of an earlier episode when she appeared to have a crush on a boy.

Didn't Ordeaux get forum banned recently for blowing up in the CM thread?

^^ How is that relevant to this particular case, though? No one is edit warring (yet); there just seems to be some confusion as to what the right call should be.

I personally would go for Mewtron's compromise here, since it's not explicitly confirmed anywhere.

Yeah, "likes girls" seems like the best choice here.

2021-09-07 16:24:19

^^ Oh sorry. I thought Ordeaux was creating problems. I apologize.

I changed the wording on this particular page to "got a canon girlfriend" which is the most objective thing possible.

I know this is technically off-topic, but it's seriously appaling that no one bothered to fix the misindentation that was tied to the very example discussed here. Talk about skewed priorities. *sigh*

^^ Right up there with your horrendous misspelling of "appalling." If you're going to be a pedant, do it right.

I'm not being pedant. While all of you were discussing about the wording of The Loud House example, no one (not even Mightymewtron after making the edit) realized that the Casagrandes example was listed as a lone sub-bullet entry under Loud House. You're going to need something better than shifting the blame towards a typo of mine (and being gratuitously rude in the process) if you want to disregard a secondary problem that was present in the example presented in this query.

Look, I agree that the indentation should've been fixed ages ago, but this isn't the time or place. Right now you're starting to derail the original question.

So, the issue raised in this query has been resolved, and it can be locked now.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

Can agree with that.

Or you...could have just fixed it and moved on instead of putting a passive-aggressive comment in a (as you put it) an off-topic query.

I didn't fix the indentation because I wasn't looking for it, plus I wasn't sure what exactly our policy was on listing direct spinoffs beneath the source material. I'm pretty sure I was on my phone and just made that small edit to stop the back-and-forth on the page.

(And for the record, a bunch of editors fighting over the correct terminology for an LGBT character does tend to be more of an issue than indentation, because the former issue risks getting more heated and personal.)

^ For the record, I think our policy is just to bunch it under a franchise title and have each work be a subbullet. If possible.

Actually, usually we put the examples in alphabetic spots.
