I’m super excited for Constantine but I just…I’m still really upset they’re not making him bisexual. Like, the smoking thing I can almost understand, but someone’s sexuality is a HUGE part of who they are. You can’t just forget about it. And it doesn’t even have to be a…

See, none of that is reassuring to me. It seems like they’re saying “maybe we’ll get to it eventually.” And it’s really not something they need to make a plot line around. Really, they’re acting like it would be this incredibly taxing thing to include, but it’s not.

But we don’t know if that is what they’re saying. Which is why I said don’t be TOO worried because they might do it like how the comics did it with vague mentions, or they just confirm it here that he IS bi but won’t say he is on the show.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

But is that really the same thing, though?  Saying someone is something but then never showing it is kind of cheating people, in my opinion.  It sounds like they got a lot of backlash for initially saying he wasn’t going to be bi, but then said he might be just to calm things down.  It very well could be that they decide to delve into it, but I’m just saying, what I see right now is not reassuring.

Then that begs the question; would people want him to say he’s bi on tv to justify that the character is indeed bi? Because if so,the rest of the people will quickly forget he’s bi like in the comics. And since the producers are really following the comics, it wouldn’t be surprising if down the line (if Constantine last that long) the viewers forgot all about him being bi since he only ever really said it once. Not only that, but if he did say he was bi, the media would probably skip right past that since the media always does that to people who are bi.

But it really depends. Constantine is getting more attention then Hellblazer comics now and with more viewers watching, then that could change things. But if it does, I hope no one expects him to roll around in bed with men and women all the time because that’s not what the show will be about.

But considering the producers did acknowledge him as bi, then he IS bi whether he says it on television or not.

to be honest, yes. yes i would want him to say he’s bi on tv just to acknowledge that the character is indeed bi. i’d want that very much. people may have forgotten that he’s bi quite quickly when reading the comics, but i can tell you who wouldn’t, and didn’t, forget: actual bisexuals. i cling to this panel:

i actually cried when i first read it. 

this is an issue of representation and the people it would matter to aren’t the media or non-bisexual fans, it’s the group that is finally getting represented, a group which will assuredly not forget john constantine’s bisexuality, a group which knows that word of god is not good enough to count as representation. i don’t give a fuck if the showrunner says he’s bi. i want it in the show. 

so yes. it’s very important to me that one of my all time favourite characters is depicted as the same sexuality as me. i’ve seen practically no other bi characters in the media, and i’d like one of the few i have seen to remain that way, and from what i’ve seen, i haven’t got confirmation yet.
