I'm pretty sure that it's Podcaster lighting. It's just missing a huge shiny microphone on a stand

Well this meme you've posted is getting posted frequently in various trans communities and they love it. But the whole article is based on just 1 (one) now non-existent tweet, featuring non-bisexual movie characters in a typical nightclub setting. But instead of being pricks about WP:RS, WP:N and other mumbojumbo bunch of letters as usual, the mods of wikipedia (of whom quite a few appear to be trans), instead fight tooth and nail to preserve both the article and that stupid skeleton image, reverting edits even on discussion pages if anyone even dares to question it. The whole thing is like one big "we own this place" flag.

The article is based on 25 references, including a BBC article. It's describing a cultural and artistic phenomenon from multiple angles with a few different perspectives.

I'm confused. Is this person Gatekeeping lighting, or are they White Knighting lighting?

Sure, and the skeleton is absolutely instrumental in showcasing it, gotcha

I have no idea. At first I thought it was about journalistic integrity.

Adjacent/Analogous colors tend to look nice so it's fairly common in art and entertainment. Its been used to evoke the glow of neon lights at night, like in Blade Runner 1982, and It has been used to create an uncomfortable atmosphere, like in Suspiria 1977. The 'bisexual lighting' meme is from a tumblr sherlock fan theory that the Director of Photography was hinting that Watson was bisexual.
