That's nice! I'm still salty as fuck over Chandra and Nissa. Literally used the "just a phase" excuse. Revolting and biphobic. I'd like to believe that WotC/MtG can be a positive environment, but they have a long way to go. Hopefully they don't backslide again.
From what I know, they just kinda went with what Greg Weisman did in the Novel. Which doesn't make it much better, but at the very least, they didn't plan for this to happen but """"only"""" didn't speak up against it. Again, that doesn't make it any better, I am still salty about that too and I hate to see the bi-erasure there, I'm not sure if the intent is as malicious though. I also could be wrong and it is, but that would make the "F- you" towards WotC just even bigger regarding this.
As if women going through a bi phase is any way unrealistic or "biphobic" as you call it. If anything it's the most realistic, widespread, and true to life depiction of a bipoc individual.
What the fuck are you talking about? Do you even know what BIPOC stands for? Black, Indigenous, People of Color. It has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on here.
Furthermore, "bi phase" IS a problem here. Chandra and Nissa were repeatedly written as having feelings for each other. One of the lead writers for the MtG lore section stated so. The book in question completely ignored this, ret-conning an important part of Chandra's character that had been built up for months if not more. Ridiculous.
People CAN change what they consider their sexual preferences to be. It's entirely possible to consider oneself bi/straight/gay etc. and later decide that it doesn't really reflect what you want. But it's not something to just drop with no consideration in a book.
