@DesertDragon: I found this trope a bit confusing myself, and I AM bi (heteroromantic). I suppose it\\\'s a matter of the writer\\\'s purpose and intent of having such characters and how they are handled rather than different \\\"flavors\\\" of bisexuals simply existing in a work of fiction; this needs to happen and be addressed more often, since bisexuals are arguably even less visible than homosexuals in fiction. Now, I do have to say it\\\'s a bit unfair when viewers blow the PC whistle when only one type of bisexual is featured in a work, since the writer of said work could very well be that exact type of bisexual and thus he/she feels uncomfortable with putting other \\\"flavors\\\" since he/she hasn\\\'t experienced it; after all, trying to write about something one has little experience with tends to be the breeding ground for UnfortunateImplications in fiction. The best said writer can do is [[DareToBeBadass encourage others to step up to the plate and get in the entertainment business themselves]] to fill in this \\\"gap\\\" with their own experiences. I admit that I would have a difficult time writing about a homoromantic bisexual and keeping it as authentic as possible, so I\\\'d rather avoid that and get someone who actually does fit this criteria to do it instead.
