Everyone Is Bi: Difference between revisions

Of course, then there's the ''other'' extreme: [[Everyone Is Bi]]. Gender, aside from a few token comments, is hardly a factor in the characters' relationships; the [[Jumping the Gender Barrier|gender barrier]] seems an alien concept.

And sometimes, even when everyone is ''straight'', [[Everyone Is Gay|the fans don't seem to think so]].

Everyone Is Bi is only played straight about [[Stealth Pun|half the time]] (from statistics, it is played straight [[Ludicrous Precision|exactly 52.4339272761775434553% of the time]]).

== Anime and Manga ==

* The second half of ''[[Gravitation]]''.

* Seems to have been the general assumption in ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]'', as it is 'not uncommon' for two men to marry, and the maids who have a betting pool on the main character's relationships don't even take gender into consideration despite his having explicitly stated his heterosexuality several times. [[Transparent Closet|Or perhaps they just know better.]]

== Comic Books ==

* Wendy and Richard Pini, creators of ''[[Elf Quest]]'', have explicitly stated on several occasions that every single elf in the series is at least potentially bisexual. Although most of the characters seem to express a preference for one sex or the other there are several examples of elves in heterosexual relationships taking time out to have same-sex flings as well, perhaps the most notorious being [http://www.p-synd.com/wild/lndance.gif Leetah and Nightfall's nude dance] in Volume 5 of the collected series.

* Similar to the 51st century in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', the eponymous superhero of ''Midnighter'' once tried to explain to a woman from the 95th century that he's gay. She didn't understand the word, and revealed that in the 95th century ''[[Everyone Is Bi]]'' (apparently that's enough of "everyone" that they no longer even have words for monosexuality).

== Fanfiction ==

* Everyone in the That Damned [[M Preg]] universe is bi unless specifically stated otherwise, exclusively straight and gay characters are few and far between.

* Absolutely everybody in ''[[Kim Possible]]'' fanfic, [[Depending On the Writer]].

<!-- %%* DependingOnTheWriter, '''''everyone''''' in fanfiction. ALL OF THEM. -->

** In fact, Gurgeh from ''The Player of Games'' is considered bizarre because he's straight and has never changed his sex. A friend of his also seen as weird because she spends almost all of her time as female.

* In ''[[The Stone Dance of the Chameleon]]'' by Ricardo Pinto, sexuality is pretty much discarded as a point of interest, where straight and gay relationships are equally common-place. The problem comes where you have the Chosen (who are the undisputed 'supreme race' so to speak) and the other races (who act as their slaves and who aren't even allowed to look at their faces). Considering that all subservient races are completely oppressed by the Chosen and horrifically bound by The Law, their tends to be a ''lot'' of sexual abuse, rape, and subjugation of both genders of those races ... and some of the stuff the more sadistically-minded Chosen are into crosses the line of 'torture' and becomes [[Brain Bleach]] incarnate ([[Up to Eleven]]). In fact, when the main character (who is a Chosen, but brought up away from their culture), finds out that another Chosen has raped his half-slave brother, said Chosen can't understand why he's so upset and is genuinely shocked that he cares so much. Nuff said.

* [[Ursula K Le Guin]]'s story collection ''A Fisherman of the Inland Sea'' deals with attempts at instantaneous space travel. The final story, ''Another Story or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea'', introduces the traditional culture of Planet O where pretty much everyone has to be bi for a successful marriage. Marriage is not between two people but four, two men and two women--a man and woman of the Morning moiety and an Evening man and woman. The Morning woman and Evening man, the Evening woman and Morning man, the Morning woman and Evening woman, and the Morning man and Evening man all have sex with each other, meaning every partner in the marriage has a husband and wife from the opposite moiety. (Sex within the moiety is forbidden, so the Morning man/woman and Evening man/woman in the marriage are strictly platonic. In fact, it's perfectly proper for siblings to be the Morning or Evening half of the foursome. Yes, this does mean that you are banging the same woman that your sister is regularly doing, and also the man who would otherwise be your brother-in-law.) The protagonist's mother, a Terran woman of Japanese descent, married in this way to be with the man she loves but finds it strange many years into the marriage, even though she is on good terms with her wife in the marriage.

* In [[Mythpunk|Palimpsest]] it's not as much as [[Everyone Is Bi]] but "Everyone is so desperate to go back into Palimpsest that they will slept with anybody with the mark, no matter the gender".

** The issue with ''The Sims'' was that a Sim would flirt with everyone. They changed it in ''2'' so that while a Sim would be amenable to sex with either sex, they would only autonomously have one preferred sex, defaulting to heterosexual but homosexual if the user chose to play them that way.

*** In The Sims 2, Sims are asexual by default untill a romantic intereaction is performed by or on them.

** Not just the Asari but [[Mass Effect]] characters in general, particularly 2 and 3 where a number of romancable characters are "open minded".

* In the [[Tastes Like Diabetes|unbearably cutesy]] ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' clone ''[[Magicians Quest Mysterious Times]]'', any classmate can be romanced by either gender, which likely earned it its E10+ rating.

** Much to the delight of the comic's sizable [[Yuri Fanboy|yuri]] and [[Yaoi Fangirl|yaoi]] fanbases.

** According to [[Word of God]], it is possible for a Troll to be monosexual, but they don't recognise it the same way we do- whereas heterosexual humans would deny advances from someone of the same sex because they are heterosexual, a heterosexual troll would do so because they don't find them attractive. It's more like a kink or fetish for either gender than anything else.

** Played with a bit later on, with Dirk preferring the troll way of ignoring gender and sexuality and just being attracted to whoever you're attracted to and Roxy insisting that for humans, at least, sexuality is very much [[Call Back|a thing]].

* In ''[[Curvy]]'' everyone seems capable of making out and having sex with virtually anyone else, on a moment's notice.

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Dirty Potter]]''

* [[Vocaloid]] has this in spades.

* [[TV Tropes]], more often than you'd suspect.
