Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :
Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources
Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)
Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women
Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women
Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)
Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)
Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community
Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS
Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough
Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media
Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards
Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories
Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")
And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue
Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

someday i'm gonna come home to you, and i'll call out in the foyer, closing the door and kicking my shoes off, "honey, i'm home!" i won't hear a reply, but i know you're somewhere in the house. shoes on the rack, coat on a hanger, i'll jog up the stairs, already beginning to loosen my tie, rollin up my sleeves.
down the hall, footsteps muted, i'll begin to hear soft noises coming from our room. oh.
i'll push the door open, leaning against the doorframe as i watch you press your favorite vibe against your clit. you'll be the prettiest, hips rolling, eyes shut and panting.
you're quite literally art: the curve of your stomach, the way your limbs tense and flex as you grind against the head of the wand. the tendons in your neck flexed and a velvety pink flush painted across your cheeks and chest. the late afternoon sun warms the room, and makes your hair glow. you're beautiful.
i'll be tempted to just watch, but the other part of me wants to stride up, take the vibe and set it aside. i want to be the one making you shatter. i want my mouth on you, taste your release on my tongue. i want to slide into you, slow and controlled—i want to watch your eyes roll back as i stretch you open.
this is about lesbian sex—cis men, minors, straight women, dni!!

Love how Jonathan Bailey was like, I'm gonna be an openly gay man in this industry, and also, ladies? this is how a man should look at you when he's interested.
