Description

Biphobia can show up in the loudest places… and sometimes in the shows we love most. This week on Big Bi+ Questions, Raena and Little Jase unpack how biphobia continues to appear across TV, film, and pop culture. From harmful stereotypes and “pick a side” narratives to the lack of long-term bi+ representation on screen, the conversation explores why visibility still matters and how media shapes the way people understand bi+ identities. Along the way, they dive into favourite characters, frustrating tropes, audience reactions, and the moments where television has actually started getting it right. • Why bi+ characters are still misunderstood on screen • The difference between representation and tokenism • TV tropes that continue to fuel biphobia • Shows and characters that helped people feel seen • How media impacts real-world identity and acceptance Because sometimes the biggest questions start with what we’re watching.
