It was weird, yes. It was inconsistent, there wasn’t enough of a character’s arch to make her being bisexual relevant and natural. Actually, I don’t like A LOT of things about how they handled Clarke’s character after mid-season 2, the LGBTQ thing is just a minor detail. I’m speaking for myself here, but I warmed up so quickly to Clarke in Season 1 because she was smart, compassionate, and she would always refuse to choose who lived and who died. But she changed, and even though she continued to be a natural leader throughout the next seasons, she lost much of the other traits that made her stand out before. She became just another MC who was comfortable making dubious moral decisions. The bisexual thing was forced (they could have introduced that earlier in a more natural way) and really just another thing that contributed to her losing her identity season by season.

And for for everyone that is saying this is “homophobic”, grow up. If anyone had been complaining about anything else, no one would be making a fuss about it. People are allowed their opinions, whichever they are. Discussion is healthy, as long as it is civil. Let’s not become fascists, trying to silence opinions that are different from our own.
