#boyfriends discourse

[helpmeimblorboing]

I know y'all hate Boyfriends for some unfathomable reason - and I get it, honest I do - the audio version nearly made me kill myself

But honestly this was my first ever exposure to queerness at all, and so this webcomic will always hold a very special place in my heart

I don't know if the allegations against the author are true, but the webcomic is still cute, and if he's racist or antisemitic.... well, I don't think it's leaked into his work

Fellas, is sexualizing homosexual relationships when a poly couple are wholesome and are not shown having sex in the comic?

God forbid gay men have a sexual relationship

Fwiw the comic in question is in fact, made by a gay man

i'm never getting over buck having a boyfriend by the way. every time someone says boyfriend in relation to buck, i start glowing like a bioluminescent fish

"Its so hard picking between X and Y ships!"

You pick between ships?? You only ship one ship per character?? You limit yourself on ships??

Trends come and go in waves and it seems like the "boyfriend discourse" is again dominating #radblr. "Can het partnered women be radfems?" "NO!" "Yes, but I draw the line at having male babies! Abort all male fetuses!" "Het partnered women are class traitors!" "Cum-dumpsters! Dick-lovers!" "Why do you think you're smarter than other women? Your Jakey will murder you in cold blood!"

give me a break with this absolute brain rot.

won't answer to anyone reblogging this bc I'm too fucking drained

Being on lesbian TikTok rn is literal hell because all they’re doing is fighting over who can and can’t be a lesbian all while ignoring the nuanced and complex spectrum of gender identity and expression, it genuinely concerns me how many lgbtq+ people in general aren’t culturally queer how can you just blatantly ignore the reason we’re here today please everyone get more queer NOW

literally struggling writing anything canon related bt bc i just don't see how i can make buck feel reassured and comforted by tommy when tommy left him so unsure by pulling the rug out from under him and constantly dismissed what he says. like anytime i open up the doc for this cock worship fic i wanted to write since october im like i dont want buck to worship tommy. i want buck to be trusted and not get his words scoffed at but thats just not canon tommy. canon tommy repeatedly let his insecurities take priority over buck asking to be together and buck asking clarity about what changed his mind and in my mind it's like i need to write a 50k fixit before i can write this smut fic set slightly in the future

i think sharing a published academic paper on wag pages on the subject of a very niche part of engineering that lily z just happens to be co-author on is incredibly invasive behaviour actually

[tevanbuckley]

i mean yeah there's a difference between someone gently telling you your mind is not being your friend and you're worrying over nothing (you know, like when eddie told buck he was being ridiculous and of course he wasn't trying to hurt gerrard and y'all said he was being a bad friend) and someone telling you 'lights off' 'screens off' 'you've had your five more minutes' like they're talking to a child. i live with my actual mother and she would never speak to me like that lmao.

i'm not trying to be mean when i say this, but if you live with your mother then maybe you're not the best person to judge this situation?

and i feel like i've made this point about bucktommy before, but something not being relatable to you personally does not make it problematic. especially when buck doesn't even canonically have adhd! it's the definition of making up a thing to be mad about.

"Bi girls and their boyfriends"

Shut the fuck up

[alienfailboy]

do y'all remember when endgame said

"yeah the avengers left Thor to rot and become a alcoholic" ?

like yeah okay???? no?????? you mean to tell me bruce banner sacrificed his own autonomy to save Thor and his people and he didn't check on him ONCE after the death of his brother? after the death of Heimdall?? after the destruction of the refugee ship and desecration of half the universe, that Thor BLAMES HIMSELF FOR???? not bruce, not one avenger? not for FIVE YEARS????

yeah. okay. sounds fake but sure!

[inchidentally]

okay prefacing that this is only referring to a small but loud part of the community... to follow up on the thing of supposed Lily Z fangirls turning around saying how she's "better than other wags" (????) bc she's "silent and has no public communications and doesn't take up space apart from looking beautiful" (???) (bc apparently we're not even internalizing the misogyny anymore it's just right out there saying a woman should be seen not heard, publicly beautiful but only serve her man and not want attention for herself) but then after praising that she clearly does not want a load of public attention, proceed to freak the fuck out IN. ALL. CAPS. in comments sections everywhere that she appears even in the background and draw attention to a woman who's clearly does not want be in the limelight....

so yea speaking in that vein can the other incredibly obvious fake fangirls of wags please stop using AI beauty filters on these women's pictures and posting them where they can see ?? that is not Lily Z's real jaw or mouth shape, that is not Alex's real nose and that is not Lily H's cheekbones or eye shape. guess what you aren't selling the whole I'm only here for the girls claim when you make it blatantly clear you don't think they're naturally pretty enough and have to run them through digital plastic surgery and yes we can all see how blurred and weirdly smooth it all looks when you do it so I guarantee the women themselves will go 'yikes that's me but... not me'

and reminder that a woman's college degree is not a Barbie accessory nor is it a "selling point" for her boyfriend that's rly disgusting to talk about it that way !!! pls just leave a like on the original photos of wags posted by official accounts if you're unable to inadvertently demean women whenever you post about them (and yes I know a lot of ppl aren't being weird but it's getting way too comfortable in very public spaces !) and also no she doesn't believe you when you claim you hate Oscar and think he's ugly and stupid and wish she'd just... randomly walk where he is but somehow not have him present when how would that work when you never even see her if she's not with Oscar like wtffff are ppl even doing anymore can we calm down and be normal and actually respect women and not treat them like commodities wow

[fiona-fififi]

Listen. I get the desire to see them kill off that character. I do.

But he's literally not important enough to die. No one would care.

[purpurship]

Am I the only one who sees how stupid a lot of the Your Boyfriend fandom is?

I'm fine with "minors DNI", but talking down to minors who like it? Fuck you fr

That's purity culture. Minors DNI is for safety reasons, not for "ohhhh, you're too soft and pure and precious, you shouldn't be tainted little baby"

Minors shouldn't talk with adults about sexual stuff, but we're allowed to like it. Stop acting like it'll corrupt us and lead us down a life of sin

[companionquest]

you know what. I’m a Sera Fan and I don’t care who knows it. the only thing she has ever done wrong is be mean to Cole.
