i do agree that it's not talked about a lot outside of queer spaces OR it's always mentioned in a weirdly sensationalized way for news buzz. BUT like you said i need space from reality when it comes to rp and this is where i prefer it. plus coming from not-queermasc people it's really upsetting actually and feels exploitative to me. like are you really sitting around thinking "hmm what is the queer story i want to tell here?"
wrt bi women, i think in pb games there's a real issue. i play some ~femme~ lines in pb games and have like really bad experiences where it's like either people looking for homonormative lines or people who are just waiting for the right guy to come around but i do think what you described sounds familiar for my experiences too. in oc games though i really don't think there's an excuse for how prevalent mlm lines are over wlw. though i will admit that i'm super guilty of this though in general i prefer to play male characters (also a part of the problem, sorry ream)
but yeah like for me intersectionality isn't something i can just check in at the door and while i do completely understand where you're coming from! i think what i meant is that i mostly white people trying to get a piece of the race pie without actual consideration for how queerness intersects with race
