EndlessMason@Tooden
"That dudes petty... Hot?"
"Oh, i didn't know you're bi?"
"bi? Wha-- I MUST TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THIS DISCOVERY"
серафими многоꙮчитїи@considermycat I hope those disturbing bisexual androids on the cover are still being maintained.
Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing
SecondUniverse@considermycat I am pretty sure I was pondering bisexuality in the eighties? Was it a slow news week?
@considermycat Seriously, were the nineties that long ago?
Representative Sample@considermycat lolwut … what editor approved this?
@considermycat Are we 100% sure these aren’t all just failed Chris Kattan characters?
ReeSilva 
@considermycat bisexuals before 1995
Owlor@considermycat This cover haunts me
Irina@considermycat Ooh! I was so far ahead of my time when I first suspected I was bi in 1981!
@irina @considermycat damn, then u should be getting royalties every time people have the epiphany
Orange Lantern 
@considermycat Gods, I remember that. The seed for the true meaning of cringe was sown this day.
Tay@considermycat why do they look so sinister that isn't bisexual lighting
Seph@tay @considermycat The bi flag wasn’t created till 1998.
@tay @considermycat Ah but the colour scheme is from the ‘biangles’ which date from 1987. Mea culpa.
Biohazard team and condolences@considermycat From now on, I refuse to be photographed by others in anything other than Villain Of The Week lighting.
Coach Pāṇini ®The 90’s were a wild time
PaulaToThePeople 😷@considermycat Alt text: Three people made to look like serial killers. They all stare straight into the camera, with no experession and half their faces covered in shadows.
I guess fear and discrimination of bisexuality emerged simultaneously then?
Plögi@considermycat @svente_fox Could also be a shot for a thriller movie.
Zalasur 🇺🇦@considermycat What is hilarious is that people were making fun of this article *when it was published*. People were having a hard time believing that the people at Newsweek were only now just learning about this "emerging new sexuality"
Dio9sys@considermycat
that pic looks like the average hackerspace group

pngwen@considermycat Well that's.... something alright. I love how ominous they make the founding trio of bisexuality appear. Like you can tell they are checking us ALL out.
Deka Black@considermycat Thre's not enough faepalms in the world for this...
Linnèa@considermycat 🤣 cross the street when anyone looks at you like this
The Halls Careen@considermycat This is simultaneously the least and most bisexual pic I've ever seen.
Robot DiverAh yes, 1995, the era of being told I was "just too scared to be a real lesbian" and "untrustworthy because I would just switch teams when I got bored".
Aging Punk with a Bass@considermycat
I wonder if they ever found Patient Zero?

awesome town
jnpegay, emphasis on the “gay”@considermycat @theynege semantic drift comes for us all in the end (this is what “bisexual lighting” meant in the 90s)
Cassandra@considermycat cappuccinos and Vince Foster are beautiful little grace notes
Baloo Uriza@considermycat What a bizarre cover, and I remember seeing it as a kid.
alejandro@considermycat "New" 😂
as if humans and preferences hadn't existed for millions of years

Taz the pika@considermycat Tidus, staring at the ruins of Zanarkand:
God's Strongest Shoujo Warrior@considermycat i love that they gave them sinister lighting.
Pride-Flag Wavin' Gneech@considermycat And here I thought it was basically the default for all of human history until about 500 years ago.
Ob La Di 🐔🌮
Kellyann@considermycat I will probably still recall that cover on my deathbed. Iconic. 😂
Richard Michael Blaber@considermycat I think bisexuality has been around for a LOT longer than that, pace Newsweek. I'm reminded of Philip Larkin's poem: "Sexual intercourse began/In nineteen sixty-three/(Which was rather late for me) -/Between the end of the Chatterley ban/And the Beatles' first LP."
Lyle Solla-Yates@considermycat That was terribly generous of Newsweek
Neville Park@considermycat Here's the original article, if anyone wants to check it out! https://www.newsweek.com/bisexuality-184830
A very 90's quote:
Now, in scattered pockets, bisexuality is starting to become more visible. Bisexual characters have popped up in TV series like "Roseanne" and "Melrose Place" and in films like "Three of Hearts" and "Threesome." Two decades after Mick Jagger and David Bowie flaunted their androgynous personas, pop stars like Michael Stipe, Courtney Love and Sophie B. Hawkins and model Rachel Williams have discovered anew that there's more to life than when a man loves a woman. As Stipe told NEWSWEEK, promoting R.E.M.'s latest album, "I've always been sexually ambiguous in terms of my proclivities; I think labels are for food."
CW: random J. Michael Bailey appearance
@considermycat P. S. The article references an even older Newsweek article about bisexuality, "Bisexual Chic: Anyone Goes", published in 1974. Actually digging up the article is beyond my abilities at the moment but see e. g. https://aha.confex.com/aha/2017/webprogram/Paper21442.html
Nowhere Girl@considermycat Ah, yes, the iconic "bisexuals as serial killers" cover.
gloriouscow@considermycat I remember this DLC. I couldn't afford it
the doomslayer cometh@considermycat I love the sinister lighting, and how the guy in the back looks like the mid-movie boss fight in a Jackie Chan movie
Bernard Quatermass@considermycat must remember to write that article about vi-rtue, vi-ce and vi-sexuality :wq
sasutina13a 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 🌐@considermycat And there were SO MANY bisexual PREEMIES!!!!!!!!!
technomancy@considermycat only two months before Hackers (1995) came out; can't be a coincidence!
KrissyKatWhy does this magazine cover make me think of cicadas emerging after 17 years in hiding?
Doug 🌈🇨🇦 
@considermycat sure, the 90's, like bisexuality never existed before that. Men and women have been doing it with both sexes since the beginning of time.
Professor Plum@considermycat I could’ve sworn it was born around 1975
Bradley M. Kuhn@considermycat I'm always saying that people forget the reason we talk about bi/pan/omni erasure is because of stuff like this. Although, given I graduated college that year, does that mean I'm automatically 20 years younger? I'd love to have my 30s back & emerge as even more queer. 😁
Remember that troupe on 90s TV were they made every bisexual character a backstabbing villain because, well, you never know what team they're on so how can we trust 'em? 😔
Cc: @federicomena
franck leboeuf officiel@considermycat so this is the "bisexual lighting" ive heard so much about
Gamer (proper noun)@codl @considermycat how creature center have half left light half right dark but right creature right light left dark no make sense
Linebyline@considermycat Is it like horses where the birthday is offset by six months in the southern hemisphere?
