And him being gay (rather than bi) explains all of his out of character behavior. But, honestly, as someone who has head cannoned Mike as bi since s1ep2, it’s hard for me to see him as anything but gay now! This is because the evidence in s3, re-contextualized everything in the first two seasons. And how it makes it seem like other gay people refuse to see themselves in a bi character- so they erase their sexuality instead. Which I find incredibly problematic, given how common bi-erasure is in real-life. Which is rare in a fandom, since even when a character is confirmed/heavily implied to be bi, people erase their sexuality and pretend they’re gay/lesbian. But, I think the main reason I didn’t want to discuss this was because so many people happily head-cannon Mike as bi/pan. But honestly, I’m so used to it now, it’s honestly become humorous. I guess, I’ve been putting this off for a long time, because I was afraid of the backlash- since so many toxic-milevens send me hate despite the fact I never cross tag.
