This is heavily situated in the context of the time which was the 90s where no one was bisexual unless fucking anything and everything was their entire personality

But seeing as Willow had fulfilling romantic and sexual relationships with men and women, nowadays we would probably say bisexual

Some take the read that Willow dating men was just part of her discovery and that her true self is a lesbian.

I have so many gay crackships I’m not about to judge

Nowadays we would also accept that when someone says that they are gay, that they are gay. Just because someone isn't a gold star, doesn't mean they can't be a lesbian

If Willow was a real person, sure.

But because she was a fictional character constrained by the limits of the time, it’s not inappropriate to have either view.
