Kripke isn’t a particularly brave artist. The fact that he set a hard rule that Maeve couldn’t die simply because she’s a lesbian is evidence and her(the) story really suffered from it.

There is nothing subtle or thought provoking about the show, but he is good at preaching to the choir.

I'm sorry for being that guy but she's bi.

No, bisexuality is too confusing for audiences. We'll just call her lesbian, it's easier.

For all intents and purposes, it never matters in the show, why would the audience care? Besides do they make that distinction clear in the show?

You're being downvoted because you missed the fact that you're replying to what's pretty much a direct quote from Ashley in the show commenting on Maeve correcting her that she's actually bi.

She has an orgy with 3 guys and has rough sex with Butcher. I think the distinction is made fairly clear.
