Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Blake was at some point interested in men, and is currently in a form of relationship with a woman, but was uninterested in women at the time of her first relationship with a man.
The question isn't whether she likes women, because that's outright canon. The question is whether she went straight > bi or straight > gay, because we technically don't have enough evidence to say she's currently bi.
Absent evidence, I feel straight > gay is implausible, so Bi The Way is the proper trope here.
2025: the year it all ends?The page is now locked because another troper (now suspended) edit-warred over Bi The Way.
"Blake is currently interested in woman which is outright canon" Nowhere is it canonically confirmed she is in a relationship with any woman past or present. Her interactions with Yang are STILL seen as platonic OR romantic by many as it lacks indisputable concrete confirmation of romantic feelings, which is required for Bi The Way. Voice actor opinions and feelings do not count. Only confirmation from the show itself or the writers. Ambiguously Bi is the best trope until future volumes prove one way or the other.

Okay, we've had on the Team RWBY character page a discussion here
about whether Blake is Bi The Way or Ambiguously Bi (or some other trope). Some people think she's in love with Yang and some people think it's just two girls who have a very close platonic relationship. Yes, it's a shipping war.
The original Edit War appeared to be solved when Zaptech told the warring parties to go to the discussion page and (at the same time) I took the edit war to the Is This an Example? thread. A weak consensus appeared to form that Bi The Way should be used, so that's what I put on the character page. That immediately caused ructions and led to edits that I flagged in ATT here
.
At the time, the Bi The Way decision had been based on inaccurate information but I didn't know that at time, which is why there were ructions over the Bi The Way decision. Given that information, it seemed fair for the discussion to continue on the character discussion page. I'm not a shipper, I don't care what trope they decide to use, I'm just trying to stop the Edit War over it. So, I suggested that, if they can't agree on whether Blake's bisexuality is confirmed or not, they should just settle for Ambiguously Bi as a compromise.
uni_sonic
has added that trope to the character page on the grounds that it's a compromise, but no-one has actually agreed with my suggestion so there's no current consensus for it. ZhaneX24
has reverted uni_sonic's changes on those grounds. Which means that we're back to an Edit War.
The shippers clearly can't decide this. A neutral troper like myself clearly isn't helping either. Please can a moderator enter this discussion
and help the fandom reach a decision?
