Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?
Also yeah we project our identities onto characters, because we’ve never had enough representation. So we had to make it ourselves.
okay this whole “i’m only funny because of my trauma” bullshit was bad from the start but it’s officially crossed the shit idiot event horizon now it’s got yall asking if i’d rather suffer horribly, potentially for the rest of my life from the effects even after the traumatic event itself is over, or be… not very interesting? like do you even hear yourself??? get better coping mechanisms. for your own sake.
was anyone else 14 on the internet thinking they were a millennial in the mid 2010s. I’d see posts about the housing market and be like so true I can’t afford a house
train yourself out of the mindset of “i can’t be homophobic, i’m gay” and accept the fact that you were brought up in a heteronormative and homophobic society and take the time to consider how your words impact other people. also sit and analyze your own unconscious bias. why am i making fun of this person for public gender nonconformity? am i comfortable enough in my own skin to ever put my queerness on display like that? am i jealous of this person for being more confident in their identity than i am? or am i simply making fun of them because they’re different from me?
