You can want to see more queer men on television without claiming that queer women are there to be pleasing to men. If it’s true that genre shows (especially ones targeted at a younger audience) are more likely to feature sapphic relationships, then I see that as one of the few instances when women are centered in literally anything. Why go out of your way to make it about men? I don’t get it.

#the owl house #adventure time #arcane #legend of korra #she ra and the princesses of power #besides sapphics have more than our share of issues with representation #ie our shows getting cancelled left and right #there is maybe a conversation to be had about affection between women being less stigmatized #but i truly don’t think that’s the same thing as sapphic relationships inherently existing for the male gaze #if men want to see two women make out there are much easier ways to do that than watching long running cartoons with complicated lore #and maybe some chaste kissing at best
