America is a whole continent

[edit]

Stop using the word 'americans' to refer to people living in the United States. If it is a part where Wikipedia explain about new and evolved languages conceptions, it should be known that for Latinamerica this is oppresive -much more than the term bisexuality instead of pansexuality-. Thank you. Marisol from Argentina, where pansexuality is very common and I could add a lot of information as I speak English but I now I feel put aside. 176.206.38.94 (talk) 21:54, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's two continents. People normally say "North American" or "South American" when they mean people from these whole continents. Central America and Latin America can also refer to specific groups of countries in the Americas. The official demonym for people from the USA is "American". I can see why not everybody likes that but that's not something Wikipedia has any power to change. DanielRigal (talk) 22:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lol what would you refer to them as otherwise? What a silly thing to get upset about. Jlambrecht265 (talk) 00:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Some people use USians, but that is not used by everyone. Historyday01 (talk) 18:03, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a media depictions section?

[edit]

I posted something similarly on Talk:Non-binary gender recently, as well, but here it goes. Some years ago, I got into a bit of a tiff with another user on here, and ended up removing the section, in early December 2022, after they flagged it for "original research." Whether I disagree with their assertion or not is immaterial. The fact is that I could have handled that tiff/dispute better back then. Despie I still believe there should be a section of this kind on this page. Additionally, I had also posted about this very topic, with a lively discussion from February to March 2021, involving participants such as @Crossroads, @-sche, and @SMargan with a range of opinions. However, I didn't add the section itself until December 2021. The section, when it existed, comprised only one sentence and noted Media portrayal of pansexuality as the main article:

Although pansexual characters are not often fictional characters, they have appeared in various films, TV series, literature, video games, graphic art, and webcomics, sometimes embodying certain tropes in cinema and fantasy.

I'd like to do something more this time, expand this sentence into a more robust section, and bring in some of the prominent examples from Media portrayal of pansexuality, perhaps resembling something like Asexuality#In media or Intersex#In society. It doesn't have to be something like the long sections on Lesbian#Media representation or Bisexuality#Media. What's your thoughts on this? Would you like to see a mock up of a possible section? Or is just linking to Media portrayal of pansexuality in the see also section enough?
