"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" has us once again pondering Bucky's sexuality

by Alexis Nedd and Proma Khosla

Anyone who’s been on a dating app in the past decade knows that tiger pictures, which Tinder cracked down on because of the unethical conditions most selfie-ready tigers live in, are primarily found on men’s profiles. They were part of the mid-2010s trend when every guy wanted to look like a traveling adventurer and took all his profile pics in a rainforest, or wearing a backpack on a mountain, or yes, hugging a heavily sedated tiger. Very few women have tiger selfies, so the odds of Bucky noticing enough of them to comment on it are low. Unless, of course, Bucky is looking at men’s profiles. 

And yet, the fact that it’s Bucky saying he keeps seeing tiger pics on dating profiles fits in with the MCU’s 10-year history of writing his character with a soupçon of queer subtext.

Okay, maybe I’m the only one cause I’m old and I’ve never used a dating app, but when Bucky said that online dating made him see lots of weird pictures like tigers

I was like, what tiger photos? Until I googled “tiger online dating” and apparently it was a trend a while ago that dudes posted pics of themselves with a tiger

So I learned that

a) apparently (sadly) this was a thing and

b) bi Bucky is canon as far as I’m concerned

And don't feel bad for that poor, disappointed young woman!

“Bucky and that girl from the Japanese restaurant had zero chemistry together” Oh besties I SURE hope they didn’t….EVERY Asian lesbian can clock that “seeing a closeted gay man being pestered by an asian grandpa determined to find him a nice young woman he can spend the rest of his heterosexual life with/deciding to step in to his rescue” energy from a MILE away lmao. That’s why she was so calm when the old man told her Bucky wanted to go out with her, my girl KNEW he was gay from the get go…. she’s been spending the entirety of their “date” just trying to get Bucky to come out to her so he can finally relax and start having fun. That’s why she asked about the gloves
