    I like how she is very openly bi on the show, but it’s never directly addressed because it’s portrayed as normal- as it should be

      I was thinking of this today while watching someone play the new Miles Morales Spider-Man game. At one point, you're in the middle of a rally, and you come across a graffiti artist who you can compliment. If you do, she thanks you... in American Sign Language. And Miles just says "you're welcome" back in ASL, and he and his friend talk about him taking an ASL course at school, and they move on. The woman isn't defined by her deafness, and they don't even make a big deal of it. You then move on and can talk to someone Miles knows, who introduces you to her girlfriend -- again, there's no surprise, no big deal made, no mention of it other than "this is my girlfriend, she's helping us set up," and then into the character being herself.
      Representation is important, but it's also important to remember that representation doesn't have to signposted and pointed out as if it's something that's weird enough to react to. Depending on the scenario, some of the best representation is just treating your characters like individual humans, regardless of what group they might or might not be part of.

      @@Chillwave6 Yes, it could've been Michael setting them up for the experiment, but it still tracks with Eleanor's fixation on Tahani, causing her to take a pause and say she might legit be into Tahani. Eleanor's always been clear on who she is. No matter what Michael's manipulation was, several things always stayed true. Her sense of self preservation. Her love for Chidi. Her devouring shrimp. And not least of all, her objectification of Tahani. So, possibly, Michael picked up on that and used it to make Tahani Eleanor's soulmate for that reboot knowing that Chidi was also going to be in the mix, which would torture Eleanor having to choose between the two. Michael even said that his torture was based on the concept that every lie has a kernel of truth. And that he may have created the scenarios, but Eleanor's reactions were authentically hers. OK, my novel is over. Take it sleazy!

      It’s great representation, but it’s not very open. I think it’s great that it’s a casual thing but it’s almost too casual, to the point where a lot of people didn’t even realise.

    If I were a writer on the Good Place I would want to confirm Eleanor's bisexuality bc bisexual people are one of the most underrepresented groups on TV, and the "we don't need to label" it argument only seems to be applied to characters who are/could be bisexual but are not confirmed because of the mysteriousness associated with harmful bisexual tropes. I love Kristen's perspective of her interpretation of Eleanor being bisexual, but wish it could be confirmed so there'd be, like, more than 3 openly bisexual characters on-screen.

    I guess like straight people don't announce they're straight, lgbt people don't need to announce it either, it is what it is and it's kinda nice especially as Tahani was her soulmate at one point. Sexuality is fluid and should be represented as such in media to encourage the normalisation of it in society.

    Now the real question is is Jason bisexual? I know he has his relationship with girl-not a girl Janet, but there almost seems to be something more with his relationship with Pillboi. He is very open (and so is Pillboi) to marriage with the man to "avoid legal issues" and they are more than enthusiastic and not once reticent about it.
