I love my shows but if I see one more piece of queer media say "sex is what makes us human" then I just might turn into the joker
#y'all know i love 911 and i'm also loving sense8 so so much#but idk. for two shows that are about being seen and being queer and being human they're leaving aro/ace people out in the rain#and like. i know i can't expect them to be perfect shows that include every single minority because that's unrealistic and puts queer media#at a much higher standard than other media. which is ofc ridiculous.#but idk there's something to be said for watching a show about being unapologetically queer and hearing that my identity is invalid#at the same exact time#and the fact that it happens with literally every single piece of queer media i have ever consumed takes it from a mild annoyance#to an Actual Thing (tm)#because there isn't a single show (that I'VE watched anyway) where i feel validated in my identity#even in queer media.#and like. i can count on ONE HAND the number of canon aro/ace characters#and most of them are usually erased for the sake of ships in the fandom#it's just. tiring.#and obviously i'm so so grateful for queer media like 911 and sense8!! they're so profound and diverse and i love them so much!!!#but it's possible to be grateful for representation and also be disappointed about the lack of it at the same time#and that's what i am.#i just get so tired of being constantly blasted by aphobia/arophobia even from shows that are supposed to be about queerness and connection#sigh. ignore me i'm being bitter for no reason again :/#winter speaks
