I think the one of the reasons BCS appeals so much to women and queer people is that it isn't binary about gender roles and masculinity/femininity the way most media is.

Like, a bad approach to making a Stong Female Character is to give her stereotypical masculine traits - she burps and scratches her butt; she hates dresses and the color pink; she talks a lot about how her dad and older brothers taught her how to be tough. Which - fine, but that's still a very binary approach to gender - it's obviously giving Boy traits to a girl, and that it's supposed to be weird and cool that she's acting Like a Boy.

On the other end of the spectrum, making a male character vain and catty is supposed to be hilarious because he's acting Like a Girl, and it's something done on purpose to be funny because everyone knows that girls are the vain and catty ones, not boys.

Kim is very much a female character, but she's also reserved rather than emotional, ambitious in a working-hard way not a clawing-her-way-to-the-top way, and protective in a way that isn't at all maternal. These are all traits usually given to male characters, but the idea that these are male-only traits is very binary. They are traits people of all genders can have. But it throws people, because boys are supposed to be logical and girls are supposed to be emotional, which is so baked in to many straight people's ideas of gender that it doesn't even occur to them that it's a gendered way to think of characters. I'm sure the writers didn't sit around and think, "hmm how can we make Kim more masculine and therefore a Strong Female Character?" They just wrote her like...a person.

And I don't think Jimmy is an especially effeminate character, but he's overly emotional, obsessed with clothes/appearance, and is very social and good at reading people - again, traits that are more often given to female characters, but plenty of men in real life have these traits and it doesn't mean they aren't men.

Nacho is also interesting in a more subtle way because the writers give him a lot of stuff that's more typically given to female characters - poisoning is historically seen as a female crime, and his particular brand of treachery is also more traditionally feminine - using stealth and deceit instead of confrontation and aggression, being more reactive than proactive, etc. But again, he's just a person with traits that people have! I don't think it's a deliberate subversion, just a reflection that most people have a blend of "masculine" and "feminine" traits.

I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts

A Father's Cry from Under the Rubble – A Humanitarian Appeal from Gaza

I am a Palestinian father from the Gaza Strip. I have three children, one of whom is a young child with a hearing impairment. Like any father, I dreamed of raising my children in safety, of seeing them go to school, play, and laugh without fear, without destruction. But the reality we live in in Gaza is unforgiving.

In an instant, everything changed. A shell fell on our house. Nothing remained of our home. We no longer had shelter, no mattress to sleep on, no walls to protect us from the cold, the wind, and the fear. We now live in the open, trying to cover our children with torn blankets and hide our tears from them so they don't sense our weakness.

My youngest child, who is hearing impaired, needs special care, a hearing aid we cannot afford, and a safe environment. Today, he struggles not only to understand words, but also to understand the untranslatable destruction happening around him.

As a father, I stand helpless now. Not because I don't want to provide a better life for my children, but because I have nothing. All I have is my heart, which breaks with pain for them, and my voice, which I raise today in an appeal to every living conscience.

I call on everyone who can, everyone who feels, everyone who has experienced a moment of pain, to reach out to us and help us get back on our feet. We are not asking for the impossible; we are only asking for what keeps life going: a roof over our heads, food to satisfy their hunger, medicine to ease their pain.

Help us give our children their right to safety, to life.

May God have mercy on those who help their brothers in their time of need, and may He reward them with goodness in this world and the hereafter.

A father from Gaza - his heart burns for his children

Hello my friend, my name is Jaafar from North Gaza, I am 24 years old, and finally after waiting for a whole year of killing, displacement, hunger, massacres and genocide against us, the time for a ceasefire has come, thank God we are still alive after all the exhaustion, and during the next week we will return to our homes in North Gaza, which was completely destroyed, unfortunately our area was completely and brutally destroyed and we have nothing left, neither a home, nor property, nor furniture, nor clothes, nor any other clothes, I know that returning to the north will be very painful and difficult due to the lack of the necessities of life, and we will start building our lives from scratch, but we are happy for the war to end.

Please 🙏, donate to my campaign to save my family, even a small amount will help us stabilize ourselves a little, and buy some supplies 🥹, I hope that God will protect your family and friends, thank you 🥰🩵
