A bambi achillean, or bunny achillean is an achillean who prefers cuddles, hugs, kisses, and other affectionate and even sensual non-sexual acts over sexual acts. It is a term used by asexual achilleans and other ace-spec achilleans but not by all. It is the achillean's equivalent to bambi sapphic. Its closest counterpart is eros gay.
History
In the 1950s, the Bambi effect was a biphobic slang term for young gay men who to others seemed to go from gay to straight or expressed fluid sexuality.[1] While that usage of Bambi fell out of use, "bambi" and other terms related to deer are still used as a homophobic slurs against gay men in certain contexts.[2]
However, the modern definition and usage of bambi gay is the result of the revival of the term bambi lesbian by Tumblr user nonbinarysapphics on August 25, 2017[3], which resulted in the creation of bambi-sexualities bambi gay, squirrel bi, and fox pan. The first known use of bambi achillean is by Tumblr user viridi-is-sapphic on November 29, 2022.[4]
Flag
The first bambi gay flag was created by Tumblr user genderstarbucks on November 29, 2022.[5][6]
