Boyfriends, a wholesome self-indulgent webcomic about four guys navigating a polycule together with kind of cringe comedy (/pos) written by an actual trans ace man getting bullied off the internet for literally no reason and Helluva Boss, the most poorly written piece of media I have ever seen in my life with forced/poor representation of queer people written by a straight women who is openly transphobic and fetishizes gay men in her shows being praised as "positive" representation is exactly why I will never trust the internet on media opinions when it comes to queer content.

As I'm scrolling though the Helluva Boss wiki for Stolas' references for my redesign and I came across this gem:

Rafa CR, whoever you are; this is a masterpiece and I love you!

Such a sad book

"i shine only with the light you gave me,"

[something-not-quite-human]

"You look tasty." in every (currently available) dub

Found this video that does a great job explaining why the hate for the Boyfriends comic was massively over rated. I genuinely just thought people hated it because of homophobia or hate for polycules, but the reason is somehow stupider.

I will literally never forgive the internet for what they did to refrainbow and his webtoon. people harass this man because his webtoon was a little cringe. and now I will never be able to read my comics about silly little gay boys in peace without someone being like “ohhhh!!! that’s problematic!!!!” bro let queer people write shit that doesn’t have an inherent message, we need trashy comfort content

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

puppy play but halfway thru i suddenly start barking and run off into the woods faster than u can keep up with. u quickly lose sight of me. u call out my name and whistle to no response. u walk slowly in hopes of hearing where i may be but its dead quite. my barking stopped some distance away. it was getting dark when i ran off but now its pitch black. against ur better judgment u leave in hopes that ill come back of my own accord. 3 days later uve given up hope. ur printing out lost dog posters when u hear scratching at the door. u open it to see me. u lunge forward and hug me so excited i came back. immediately upon being back u feel like somethings off. i look and sound just like me. but i walk around the house like i hadnt been there. i refuse to eat anything even treats. and when u look at me u get the sinking feeling these are different eyes staring back at u. almost as if theyre seeing more than usual. u initially write it off as just being due to stress of being in the woods alone for a few days. but one day in the middle of the night u hear a scratching. u think its me but im asleep on the floor by ur bed. u walk out into the hallway. u follow the noise to the front door. under the sound of scratching is whining. my whining. u swing open the door to a barrage of licks and headbutts. the joy u get from seeing me immediately sinks into a gutteral fear as u realize the dog that came back. the dog uve spent a week sleeping next to. was not me. but some kind of imitation. i start snarling. then whimpering. u dont need to turn around to know what was standing behind u. u pick me up and run as fast as u can. stomping footsteps way too close behind u. and then. nothing. u turn around just in time to see the thing that was once imitating ur dog lurch into the woods. it lets out one final bark in my voice. then disappears into the trees. and then we like. have sex or something

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

just as a general reminder

learn how to fact-check for yourself, cause soon enough, most online sources won't be reliable

Hey, am I the only one uncomfortable with this "rotten girl miku" thing? I thought we all grew up and realized that fetishizing gay men isn't cool, quirky, or funny. Let's not go back to the 2010s where it's socially acceptable for girls in Fandom to fetishize gay men just because they're fictional. Okay, kids?

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

My least favorite part about cannibalism in media is that the cannibals often eat people raw. It makes the whole thing unrealistic and feel silly. You want me to fear your cannibalistic character? Give them a handwritten recipe book of human parts. Give them an in-depth knowledge about how best to drain a body of its blood like the way people slaughter animals. What body types are their victims? Think about how animal farmers raise their animals and prepare them for slaughter. Cannibal characters can be so much scarier than just "he eats people" and that's it.
