Navigating liberal orthodoxy on sexuality is treacherous. Norms of acceptable thought are changing so quickly that even the painfully woke fall behind, and thus earn hateful scorn.

At least that’s what happened to the creators of Big Mouth, a cartoon comedy show. In a recent episode, a new student introduced herself as “pansexual.” When asked about whether or not this was the same thing as bisexual, Ali Wong’s character emphatically says no: “Bisexual is so binary.” The show’s creators were clearly trying to be progressive and cutting edge. But, apparently, the distinction they made between pansexual and bisexual was problematic. Bisexuality, the mob explained, is not, in fact, binary.
