This is your sign to give Goodbye Volcano High a shot. I know people were jackasses about it, but this irony-poisoning doomer-mindset 4chan brainrot is not allowed to poison my queer dinosaur tragedy coming of age story (with lesbian situationships, and real mental health shit, and the cutest most strikingly complex characters, and an ending that made me sob for 40 minutes uncontrollably)
if that isnt enough BEHOLD
OLD WOMAN LIZARD YURI

I read some of the reviews for Dragon Age Absolution on IMDB and it’s so funny that people seriously give reviews which just say “everyone is gay 2/10.”
Dude, what did you even expect? This is Dragon Age, there are always gay characters, it’s one of the gayest series you can find.
Look at this review, hilarious:
Clearly written by someone who knows nothing about the series. They incorrectly refer to the characters with D&D class descriptions and they call the qunari mage “some kind of giant goat lady”. LOL It’s actually quite funny to read, but... if someone starts watching a tv show that is part of a larger series and then they get angry because it depicts the usual themes and topics of that series, well they have only themselves to blame. Hate gay characters? Maybe be aware if a 13 year old series has gay storylines and don’t act like the most recent entry has an “agenda”. Ridiculous. Homophobes always assume there is an “agenda” so they don’t even bother to check whether or not gay characters are actually new to the series they are watching.

only watched clips of fit pov so I'm not fully informed yet but the evolution of fit deciding the "homophobia" is real is interesting.
like, initially he saw it for what it was: tubbo lashing out because he felt left out. he called tubbo out on this, he told ramon this, he laughed about it. tubbo was also cartoonish in his distaste, it was obvious he was hurting underneath.
but slowly he's become more and more genuinely annoyed by it even though tubbo has toned it down massively
tubbo basically just does his performative ick when faced with fitpac moments like one might if their parents kissed in front of them. he certainly still feels left out but it's also a bit (one pac loves to poke at bc he knows it's tubbo being stubborn and resistant to love)
but to fit, who wants tubbo to show him that he still cares about morning crew, it bothers him that tubbo can't just leave it be. it hurts every time tubbo rejects fit & pac's relationship, even jokingly. he doesn't understand why tubbo feels left out. he wants morning crew back to what they used to be.
tubbo for the longest time was the only person there with them when fit and pac were developing their relationship. no ramon. no richas. no mike. he teased fit but he also supported him. he was the buffer they needed to start acknowledging their feelings. he was their friend.
but now tubbo is standoffish. he shies away where he used to budge in. he doesn't know his place around fit and pac anymore and he's not brave enough to ask. he's scared of the answer.
and fit doesn't get why tubbo can't just believe they love them the same as before. why he's not acting like before. he feels rejected. he feels ignored. the comments about fit and pac have started to feel personal instead of just tubbo being insecure.
so when he sees tubbo reaching out to foolish, it hurts him. it seems like tubbo has just given up on the morning crew. and he wants to lash back. he wants to warn foolish about how tubbo can hurt him. he wants tubbo back. so he frames it around the going joke, that tubbo's homophobic, but it doesn't quite land (fit's not as good as tubbo at making jokes out of his own pain). it just ends up feeling too real and that's exactly the problem.

You know how adults go "oh no one came out as trans or gay when I was a kid. Must be all social!"
I graduated high school in 2019. So many people in that school only came out after they graduated because it's in such a conservative evangelical area.
Many of the teachers and stuff were commuting from Chicago because Illinois public school system sucks for anyone who's not in an upper middle class area and were supportive.
The issue was mainly being afraid of parental backlash. The GSA tried to get more comprehensive sex ed (we didn't even learn about mouth guards, all we learned about was condoms with a huge push on abstinence), and immediantly got a no because it can come off as "encouraging" that behavior. The school counselors tried to keep the GSA from inviting older queer people to speak because then they may be forced to allow anti gay speakers in.
The Day of Silence got so many students picked on and for a video about it the club got in trouble for showing two boys kissing. It was rebranded by students as "for kids who committed suicide from bullying" without the LGBTQ part. The Day of Silence.
That was the club that allowed me to come out and accept myself by the way. It wasn't all negative but it was beyond limited and filled with the reminder that we were not welcome like cishet students were.
I came out in that school because I didn't have any other choice. My mental health was life risking at the time. When I did I got a bit more popular, but that's because I never talked or hung out with anyone before. I had to constantly be on guard though and did get harassed. There were students that actively avoided me too.
Of course I met trans people in the school, but usually they came out to me because I was the out trans person. They too avoided being too out.
ROGD was published in 2018. The year that I finally got the ability to socially transition in school. And it's so, so ignorant to what many of us outside of big cities and liberal areas go through. What people say about how it's so better now and for *my* generation are right in many ways, but also dismiss what me and many of my classmates went through. It took so much bravery to come out at that school and we were all kids.
And I know that I still had it much better than students in middle and high school right now in other schools in America.
Point is, I wish those people would shut up. Not only because their scare tactics are hurting the rights of queer kids, but because their attitudes of them are so dismissive to what they go through every day.
