Bisexuality is often used as an easy punchline in entertainment, online conversations, and everyday humour.
The joke may suggest that bisexual people are indecisive, attracted to everyone, unable to remain faithful, or automatically interested in threesomes. Some comments are intended playfully, and bisexual people may also make jokes about their own experiences. Repeated humour can still make stereotypes feel normal and harder to challenge.
The impact often depends on context. A joke shared among trusted friends may feel very different from one made by someone who already dismisses bisexuality. It can also be difficult to object without being told that you are overreacting or unable to laugh at yourself.
Humour can create recognition and community, but it can also reduce a complex identity to the same narrow assumptions.
Have jokes about bisexuality ever made you feel recognised, uncomfortable, or less willing to be open—and what made the difference?
Please discuss the effect and context of the humour without attacking members for having different boundaries around jokes.
